Not Legal Advice: Oregon law allows the sale, service, and/or drinking of alcoholic beverages on the licensed premises from 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. every day.
The only exception is for a retail license located within an Oregon public use airport designated as a Category I – Commercial Service Airport by the Oregon Department of Aviation. These retail licensees may sell, serve, and allow the drinking of alcoholic beverages from 5:00 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. every day; however, from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. alcoholic beverages may be sold or served only to a ticketed airline passenger with a valid same-day boarding pass.
Oregon law defines “alcoholic beverage” as any beverage containing more than 0.5% alcohol by volume.
Licensees are allowed to have on the licensed premises only the type of alcohol the license permits. The only exception is that Limited On-Premises Sales and Brewery-Public House Sales licensees may have distilled spirits on the premises if the distilled spirits are used only for cooking, are kept in a container only in the food preparation area, and the container is clearly marked “for cooking only.”
