A NEW law that allows more than 140 bars and restaurants in Boston to stay open later and for fans to carry and drink alcohol along certain streets has been hailed as the “Tartan Army Bill”.

Last week, the Boston Licensing Board approved that 144 establishments could stay open one hour later during the World Cup and other summer events until July 31.
