We could use some good news. The District at Eastover issued the following statement:
Restaurant patrons in The District at Eastover can now carry and enjoy alcoholic beverages anywhere within the development, as the City of Jackson’s Leisure and Recreation District Ordinance, known as the “go cup” ordinance,” is now in effect.
Establishments authorized to offer go cups in The District at Eastover include Cantina Laredo and Fine & Dandy. Cultivation Food Hall is scheduled for a summer opening in The District and will also offer go cups.
The ordinance was passed by The Jackson City Council in March and dictates all alcoholic beverages must remain within The District at Eastover’s designated area between Eastover Drive to the south, the I-55 North/Frontage Rd. to the west and Perseverance Drive to the east.
The District at Eastover plans to take advantage of its status as a Leisure and Recreation District with a series of live music events on The District Green, as well as a Cinco de Mayo event scheduled for this Saturday, May 5, at Cantina Laredo.
Additional live music events are scheduled for Thursday evenings in May as follows:
May 10: Brian Ledford
May 17: The Sessions
May 24: Brian Ledford
May 31: No Strings
Performances will be on The District Green from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Does this mean we can bring back the dirve-through Beer Barn as long as it is located in The District?
Whoopty freakin' doo.........
Beer Barn rocked! And so did the go cups from the liquor store at the end of Ridgewood.
Great news. They should expand it to Highland Village, Fondren, and others. The haters and losers (of which, sadly, there are many) from Madison and Rankin will be here in no time to tell us about how much Jackson sucks.
Finally! Just let those stuck up pricks at Baker Donelson try to stop me from loitering outside their door, mumbling to myself and drinking a 40 oz now.
The BD pricks are going to be a little tied up with fallen timber to be too worried about loiterers.
True, 3:07, and I'd love to see you do it, but read the rules. No outside drinks or containers. Said alcoholic beverage must be purchased from an ABC licensed vendor within the confines of The Districts and must also be in a District or vendor logo cup. Good luck finding a 40 oz. whatever in The District and then a 40 oz. cup to pour it into. Still, I do like the image, 40 oz. or not.
"The District offers a transformative destination ..."
ROFLMAO Pure BS.
Awesome news!
We don't need a bourbon street in Jackson! Ridiculous!
This is great news. This will keep more of Jackson's drunks in Jackson so they won't have a reason to meander up here in Madison County.
Cheers
40 oz cups - a potential gold mine for an enterprising young ontapanure (with a hat tip to Eddie Murphy!)
Oh how I miss the Beer Barn Drive through on Lakeland !
A gallon of Bud in a milk jug !
Great memories of growing up in the Jackson of 1970/80's.
Wait until a black guy comes and loiters....it’ll be illegal again in no time.
Seems like a good spot for next year's 420 rally!
