PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A bill that would allow bars in Philadelphia to stay open until 4 a.m. during the World Cup is on its way to Gov. Josh Shapiro’s desk.
It's sponsored by state Sens. Joe Picozzi (R-Philadelphia) and Vincent Hughes (D-Philadelphia, Montgomery counties). It has the support of Mayor Cherelle Parker.
Bars in the city normally have to close at 2 a.m., but the bill would allow them to apply for a special license to stay open two hours later between June 11 and July 20.
