Pedal pubs currently operate in Toronto, as well as in other Ontario cities, including Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ottawa and Windsor.
However, until now, the Ontario versions of these globally established pedal-powered bars on wheels have been sidelined due to laws regarding alcohol in vehicles.
"Pedal pubs offer a fun and memorable way to explore Ontario's communities, and we're making sure that experience is responsible," said Attorney General Doug Downey.
"Beginning this summer, Ontario is supporting a unique opportunity that will not only stimulate tourism and bring communities together, but also protect local jobs, our economy and small businesses across the province."
In a press release, the province notes that all pedal pubs operating in Ontario will require an AGCO licence to sell and serve alcohol.
