HOW TO USE THE DORA
Noon to Midnight; 7 Days a Week
​
• Only alcohol bought at establishments within the DORA district can be consumed in a DORA cup; no outside alcohol is allowed. Cups are one-time use only.
​
• Beverages from one establishment cannot be taken into another establishment or special event area which also serves alcohol. Beverages can be taken into retail shops that allow DORA cups
​
• Once a DORA cup has left a business, it must be consumed before you enter any liquor establishment other than a residence or DORA-friendly retail location. This includes reentering the business in which it was purchased or entering a new business. Cups are one-time use only.
​
• You must stay inside of the DORA while you have this beverage
