COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio's Capitol building in Columbus will be a place for making laws and making drinks.
The Columbus Dispatch reports the Ohio Statehouse's first full-service bar will open next month within an existing café. The bar on the building's lower level will sell beer, wine and liquor.
The Ohio agency that oversees the Statehouse says the bar will have flat-screen televisions and will be open to the public at certain times. It also will host special events and what are described as "private happy hours."

A new Ohio law permits some concealed weapons to be carried into bars and other places where alcohol is served. But the public is prohibited from taking firearms into the Statehouse.
