What time do bars and night clubs close in your state / area / country?

[Papa Deuce]

In PA it is generally 2 AM.

 

[staley7580]

2am here too...

 

[Michelle67]

Two am here too.

And if I could expand on that and ask you guys...

Can minors go into your bars? (minors can go in bars here IF the bar serves food, and only during certain hours, I think it is up until 9pm)
What days are your liquor stores open? (ours are open M-Sat)
Can you buy any alcohol in the grocery store or convenience store? (we can buy beer, wine, and wine coolers)
Do you have drive-through liquor stores? (we do not)

 

[JennaTX]

Close here at 2:00 am

But then there are after hour bars/clubs that do not sell liquor that stay open until 4:00 or 5:00 am.

 

[frndshpcptn]

Here in NYC it's 4 - 6 AM, usually.

2 am, but they passed some sort of crowd control ordinance that makes it illegal to be out in the streets of downtown after 2, so most bars have had to act accordingly and usually last call is at 1 now.

Questions above: yes, but only when they are serving actual meals. There are some bars with just bar food that don't ever act as restaurants and minors can't go, but there are many that act as restaurants during the day so that they can have servers who are 18 (if a certain percentage of sales is food, the servers don't have to be 21) and minors are allowed.
Just passed an ordinance that allows liquor stores to be open Sundays now. We'll see how many actually are. Right now it's M-Sa.
Same low proof alcohols in the grocery stores here.
No drive through liquor here, yes in the town where I go to school 30 miles away (I think it depends on the level of ghettoness here...the scuzier/poorer areas have the drivethru liquor.)

Same here. When people don't start eating dinner until after 10pm and it is an event that takes more than an hour with so many courses, the bars need to stay open really late.

 

[supercarrie]

Anywhere from 11:30pm (traditional pubs) to places open all night. Majority of actual bars/clubs close at midnight/1am Sun-Thurs and 2am or 3am Fri/Sat. 24 hour licensing has really changed how many pubs are open late- used to be they all closed at 11pm and now many stay open until 2/3 on a Fri/Sat as well.

 

[Imzadi]

Then some people go to a 24 hr coffee shop or diner and have breakfast and get home around 6 - 8 am and go to sleep.

Yup, that's what we do here.

Yup same here but some clubs in town are open until 2 or 3am on a Wednesday and Thursday!

4am in my county, but the time varies in NYS.

Minors cannot sit at the bar, even in a restaurant. Don;t kw if they can go into a nightclub type bar, but most of those type places check the ids at the door.

We can buy beer and wine coolers in grocry stores. Wine and liquor have to be purchased at a liquor store.

No drive through liquor stores, I first read about that on the DIS and the idea totally cracked me up!
