I read an alarming note in a travel book referring to Rockport as a ';dry town'; - I presume this means no alcohol - is it true? Do people really have to enjoy these magnificent lobsters and sea food on fizzy lemonade? I much prefer some nice cool white wine. As we are planning to spend a family holiday there this summer I hope this is unfounded.
Is Rockport a ';dry town';?
Some rules have changed recently and some restaurants offer beer and wine but only if you order food. So you cannot go out just for a drink you must order food when you order a drink. Gloucester is less than a ten minute drive and they are not as strict with their liquor laws. The good thing about Rockport being dry is that it will save you some cash because most eating establishments (that do not have a liquor licence to sell alcohol) will allow you to BYOB (Bring your own bottle).
Enjoy!

Many thanks for your info - I am relieved! Do you know if there are liquor stores in Rockport or would we have to go and shop elsewhere for our wine/beer?
Your best bet is to buy your beer, wine and liquor in Gloucester.
