HOW TO USE THE DORA
9am to Midnight; 7 Days a Week
​
• Only alcohol bought at establishments within the DORA district can be consumed in a designated DORA cup; no outside alcohol is allowed. Stickered 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.
​
• Once a DORA drink 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. Stickered cups are one-time use only.
​
• You must stay inside of the DORA while you have this beverage

THINGS YOU CAN DO:
THINGS YOU CANNOT DO:
• Support local businesses and Downtown Lima, Inc. by purchasing a DORA drink and shop local in participating retail shops
​
• Ask for a to-go cup and DORA sticker then transfer an unfinished drink at a participating location and leave with that drink
​
• Take a DORA drink into a location that has a green DORA WELCOME decal on their door
​
• Drink Responsibly. All local and state laws about public intoxication, indecency, noise, and driving while intoxicated still apply
​
• When you reach the boundary of the DORA, you can finish your drink and throw your cup away in one of the trash cans throughout downtown. Let's keep our downtown clean.
• Bring your own drinks or cooler into the DORA. All beverages must be purchased from a participating establishment and be in a DORA stickered cup. Stickered cups are one-time use only
​
• Walk with a purchased drink without a DORA sticker
​
• Take a DORA drink into another liquor establishment
​
• No littering. The City of Lima has added many more trash cans to reduce litter
​
• Give purchased drink to an underage individual. All liquor laws still apply
​
• Reuse a DORA stickered cup. Once a DORA drink has left a business, it must be consumed before you enter any other 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.
