Wellesley soon to be surrounded by more liquor stores

November 9, 2012 by Bob Brown 1 Comment

Needham voters this past week approved a measure to allow liquor stores in town, and town officials will soon start taking applications. Needham restaurants serve liquor, as does a bar at the Sheraton in town.

The move means that Wellesley will likely be surrounded by more than just the few Natick liquor stores on its borders.

Wellesley, too, has loosened its liquor laws this year, though initially to allow more restaurants to serve booze, including those with fewer than 100 seats. The move will help make Wellesley restaurants more competitive with those in neighboring towns, though the possible disappearance of BYOD establishments in town could disappoint some.

    I find it amazing people can think and reason for a change. Voters pass to make pot easy to get for the sick. Then they pass liquor stores in Needhan.
    WOW only took many years to get voters with common sense.
    Good going people !
