Cinemas can now serve wine and beer at concession stands and movie-goers are allowed to take their drinks into the theater for the show, the State Liquor Authority ruled in a unanimous vote Wednesday.

Previously, theaters could only sell the drinks if they had a restaurant license with a full kitchen and waitstaff to bring the alcohol to customers in their seats — or a tavern license that limited drinking to a table, often in the lobby.

Under the new rule, cinemas serving just popcorn and other snacks can now also sell wine, beer and cider as long as it isn’t the businesses’ “prime source of revenue.” Theaters previously could only sell alcohol if they had a restaurant or tavern license.
