Starbucks to offer wine, beer in its cafes
Starbucks to offer wine, beer in its cafes

If you're looking for a lager instead of a latte, make sure to bring your ID. Starbucks may soon become a lot more boisterous after 4 PM, reported Business Insider.

The Seattle-based chain brought their Starbucks Evenings menu to their Williamsburg store on North 7th Street on Wednesday, making it the first New York location to offer wine, beer and small dinner dishes.

In 2010, the first Evenings menu began in Seattle and has now spread to 76 locations.

While met with some opposition by local businesses over Starbucks' liquor license, they're hoping to become a local destination for the later crowd.

The company is looking for ways to develop its business beyond coffee and it plans to roll out the new evening menu in 2,000 of its US locations within five years.

I hopped on the train to Williamsburg to see for myself if Starbucks has what it takes to be a nightly social hub.
