Food & Beverage Service on Ft Lauderdale Beach

Should Ft Lauderdale Beach hotels and restaurants be allowed to provide service on the beach?  At present no beach service is allowed and service is limited to the West side of A1A where the establishments are located.  A recent proposal to the City Commissioners is seeking to change that.  

Citing the expectations of European guests and competition from Miami Beach and Palm Beach where beach service is allowed, the businesses say they just want a "more even playing field."

Food service may the only issue to be be decided because of a state law prohibiting alcohol service off-premise.

The commissioners have tabled the request until the new Central Beach Area Commissioner is chosen in a March runoff election.
