Loveland’s Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA) went into effect April 11, 2019. In this area, you are able to purchase alcoholic beverages from a qualified liquor permit holder within the DORA boundaries and walk around outside with your drink. Mayor Bailey stated “the creation of a DORA helps maintain the experiential nature of our historic downtown by enhancing outdoor dining and special events.” City Council recently adopted the 2020 DORA schedule and reminds everyone that if you participate in a DORA event, all State of Ohio and City of Loveland laws regarding public intoxication, impaired driving, and open containers apply to areas both inside and outside of the DORA boundaries.
Please drink responsibly.
