From the Paoli News-Republican:
Q: Is it legal to advertise drink specials (prices) in a newspaper or shopper?
A: Yes, a drinking establishment can advertise drink specials for a particular day.
Where they can get in trouble is:
• Advertising happy hour specials (advertised price must be the same all day).
• Advertising a requirement that customers must buy two drinks to get a special price.
The bar or tavern owner should be aware of those types of restrictions.
