This! When I was young, we used to stay at clubs so late that it was a bit light out when we came out. Grab some breakfast, and sleep the day away. Shit, we wouldn’t even hit the clubs until after 23:00. Then we moved to Texas where everything closed at 2:00, no matter how packed it was. So depressing.
They only state they can stay open until 4am. It doesn’t mention what time they reopen. My sister’s bar opens at 6am or so. Supposedly for night shift workers.
I used to be that night shift worker. I was so grateful for that one bar in town that opened in the morning. Nothing like ending the work week with a bloody Mary at sunrise!
There are other reasons to go to the pub. Half of the ones I go to don’t even have screens. Though they are also not places I would want to go at 6am. They would probably choose not to open at that time anyway.
My point is the government shouldn’t be dictating the allowed opening hours. Regulations on staff working conditions is totally fine so having staff working 18 hour shifts is clearly bullshit, but if you want to hire enough staff to cover opening hours like that then you should be allowed to.
I think theres a stigma around that rule more than it has anything to do with it being libertarian. The later bars are allowed to be open the worse of a look it gives the neighborhood. It could bring unwanted types of people in since those are the only people they believe would be drinking at 3am, as well as additional noise which could be disruptive if the bar is located next to residential places. I think its just seen as a bad look which is why its restricted. I am also someone who doesn’t really care, but i guess location should matter in what time is the latest it can stay open. I grew up visiting NY a lot and they are a perfect example of who cares what time a bar closes and it was wonderful.
Because there is good data showing extended drinking hours have higher rates of violence and drunk driving. No one is getting refreshment at 4am, they are getting shit faced.
Why are they requiring bars to close by 4am? Just drop the restriction entirely. If you want to get shitfaced at 6am then go ahead.

There needs to be games at 6am though

That’s sounds like some crazy libertarian stuff
Give people the liberty to choose? Nvr gonna happen
It makes easier for the Dui quota if they can force alcoholics to get on the road at the same time
“crazy libertarian stuff” = business owners should be able to pick their own opening times?

Why?
If a venue sees it as worth it to deal with the calibre of piss-head you get at 6am, have at it, I say
Local businesses get to make more profit and the government gets more tax from consumption duty
Whether there’s football on or not really shouldn’t be a factor the government cares about at all IMO

Really? I heard the opposite, kicking everyone out at the same time results in them fighting more because you have a load of them all at once.
