- 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. The same window covers beer, wine, and liquor, and Pennsylvania preempts local alcohol hours, so it applies statewide.
- Can you buy alcohol on Sunday in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. Pennsylvania allows alcohol from 9 a.m. on Sunday.
- Is alcohol sold on holidays in Pennsylvania?
- Pennsylvania restricts sales on Christmas Day and Thanksgiving Day. The restriction is not always a full-day closure, so check the table for what closes and when.
