go cups

Bar departure vessels

Go cups are disposable cups, typically plastic, that allow you to take an alcoholic drink from a bar or restaurant onto the street.

The term is most associated with New Orleans, where open container laws permit drinking in public: The bartender poured my beer into a go cup as I headed out.

Also called to-go cups.
