The Myrtle Beach Pelicans have announced that they will now be able to serve beer at Sunday home games at BB&T Coastal Field, helping Ovations Food Service obtain a full-liquor license, necessary to begin serving beer at the ballpark immediately. Beer will be available this upcoming Sunday, August 17th, as the Pelicans host the Potomac Nationals at 6:05 PM.
Due to South Carolina state regulations which restrict Sunday beer sales to holders of a full-liquor license, the Pelicans have gone to great lengths to aide Ovations Food Service, who will serve as the liquor license holder, in obtaining the appropriate license. To properly comply with regulations, the Pelicans have made multiple renovations to the ballpark and the suite level.
“Allowing our fans the opportunity to enjoy a beer on Sunday was something we felt very strongly about,” said Pelicans’ General Manager North Johnson. “We essentially wouldn’t take no for an answer on this issue, and have gone to unbelievable lengths to help Ovations Food Service comply with the regulations to give our fans this additional option on Sunday.”
The Pelicans have remained diligent in their gaining this license due to a schedule back-loaded with Sunday games. The Pelicans have three remaining regular season Sunday home games, and will be on the Grand Strand every remaining Sunday in the month of August. Each Sunday home game at BB&T Coastal Field begins at 6:05 PM and features a post-game Fireworks Extravaganza

• Sunday, August 17 – Potomac Nationals – 6:05 PM
