The Ontario government has announced it will allow\u00a0alcohol to be served on large quadricycles, better known as pedal pubs, starting on July 1.<\/p>\n

The change would apply to pedal pubs with an alcohol license in Toronto, Niagara-on-the-Lake,\u00a0Ottawa and Windsor.\u00a0Pedal pubs are only able to operate in municipalities with bylaws that allow\u00a0them<\/p>\n

The province launched a 10-year pilot program for pedal pubs back in 2022, but they were\u00a0not allowed to serve alcohol up until now.<\/p>\n

In a media release, the province says the move is meant to support small businesses and encourage local tourism in the face of U.S. tariffs and economic uncertainty.<\/p>\n
