Pilsner and pancakes? IHOP to add booze to its menu

Move over pancakes, beer and wine may soon be on the menu at your local IHOP.

The national restaurant chain is adding beer and wine to its menu offerings, in hopes of making customers consider it for more than just breakfast.

Most International House of Pancakes Restaurants are owned by franchisees, so some may opt out of purchasing a liquor license.

I-HOP’s president said he thinks about 1,000 of the chain’s 1,700 locations will add alcohol to their menu eventually.
