Updated May 2025.
Cities in Hamilton County have been establishing Designated Outdoor Refreshment Areas, also known as DORA.
These areas allow you to take alcoholic beverages to-go from local bars and restaurants, as long as they're in the specific DORA-approved cup and within the boundaries.
Carmel
The newest of the three Hamilton County cities that have established DORAs. See the map and participating businesses below.
Noblesville
With a vibrant, walkable community, Noblesville's DORA boundaries cover a good majority of downtown and Federal Hill Commons.
Westfield
Bringing in tourists from all over the country, Westfield's DORA allows visitors to explore more of the city and is creating a new revenue source for restaurants and bars.
