Last call

SO, I was wondering when last call, or when your cities, states require clubs/bars to stop serving alchohol. I know that in Seattle, it's 1: 45 ish. Way too early IMO and it really drags down a "nightlife." I think the majority of places in the world don't have any set law like this and stop serving when the place closes, but if your city has one, what time is it? And what are your feelings on it?


I just turned 21 about 3 months ago, and I thought I would finally be content about being able to go out and do things, but the other night me and a couple of friends saw a late night movie at about 10ish. We get out at about 1:10 and decide to find a tavern or something nearby to have a beer or two and just hang out. It's not like we were going to have a heavy drink session. I had about one beer before they stopped serving at 1:30 and kicked everybody out. At this time everything starts closing down, it's not that they just stop serving alchohol. So, don't even plan on going out after 1:45 unless your going to an after-hours, which I think are only 2 in the city of Seattle. So, we are forced back into one of our friends houses.

This and other things I have experienced since turning 21 have bugged me about our sorry excuse for nightly leisure. I wouldn't bug me so much if the places didn't close down at the time they stop serving alchohol, but then again, they would be losing money. Why does it have to be so fucking early though?

in Wisconsin... 2:00am (weeknights) / 2:30am (weekends)

which translates to 1:45am and 2:15am when you take bartime into account.

meh, i used to think it was wank, but now it doesn't really bother me. it makes going out in Chicago (bartime = 4am/5am) even more of a special occasion.

2 am here in California, later in other states. 24 hours in Vegas

Bars close at 2am. Wouldn't know when last call is cuz I can't get into the bars.

Places stop selling alcohol at 11:45pm and start again at 6am.

As a non-drinker, it doesn't bother me at all. However, that's left most clubs shutting down at 2AM, leaving less time for the music and less time to experience an artist that I want to see. Although, I can't complain about that for another 1.5 years.

In Chicago its 4:45am last call for alcohol on the weekends, 3:45 during the week for most clubs. Though some newer clubs & bars are 2:45 weekends & 1:45 during the week. In chicagos burbs its it can range from 3:45 to 1:45 depending on the town & county.

I never understood why some places close when it's last call. Here last call is 2am and The Vanguard doesn't close until 4am. Avalon doesn't close until...like 9 or 10am sometimes But they start reserving alcohol at like 6am I believe.

Last call: 2am (don't mind it)

Liqour and beer stores close at 10pm, which is the ultimate stupidity. You can't even buy booze at regular convenience stores or anything like that. Stupid Ontario

nyc 4am all day every day

3:30 on weekends, 1:30 on weekdays (I think).

You can't get hard liquour from the store after 8 and beer/cider after 9.

5am here on the weekends, not sure about weekdays though, probably the same. Weekends have a 'lockdown' though, meaning at 3am you can stay where you are and keep drinking, but nobody else is allowed through the doors. So if you're in between clubs at that time, you're fucked.

geez, sucks to be you people. bars close at 2am ish, clubs (of which some are bars and clubs) 5am+

australians like to drink too much to make it any earlier

no such thing as "last call" here, they never stop serving alcohol until the club/party closes (usually somewhere from 4 to 9 am, depending on the club/party).

infact i can't imagine what it must be like having the drinks closed at 2am. over here that's like, when the night is getting started. some people wonder around the bars until 4am, and only then they move to the clubs. totally different cultures i guess.

Estonia:

I think around 4am every night if the bar is open, some Estonian correct this?

There are bars that are open 24/7 dunno if they serve alcohol never bought alc. at that time

2300 deadline for booze from shops every day.

24 hour drinking where I am!

In Oklahoma liquor stores close at 9pm. no liquor is sold on Sundays.
3.2 % beer is sold in stores other than liquor stores. No alcohol sold on voting days and some holidays I think. plus it is way taxed up.
and 2 am is last call.

Ya, same thing when I go to Mexico, and I pretty much all of latin America I think. If you show up at a club at 12, you might be the only one there, if not the first. The peak happens around 2:30-3, well past the time they stop serving alchohol here in Seattle.

last call sucks ass. i dont think I could live somewhere with it.



n00bs

2:00p.m. here!

I hate those four words,

Last call for alcohol!

Alcohol, my permanent accessory
Alcohol, a party-time necessity
Alchool, alternative to feeling like yourself
O alcohol, I still drink to your health

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol

Forget the caffe latte, screw the raspberry iced tea
A malibu and coke for you, a g&t for me
Alcohol, your songs resolve like
My life never will
When someone else is picking up the bill

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
O alcohol, would you please forgive me?
For while I cannot love myself
Ill use something else

I thought that alcohol was just for those with
Nothing else to do
I thought that drinking just to get drunk
Was a waste of precious booze
But now I know that theres a time
And theres a place where I can choose
To walk the fine line between
Self-control and self-abuse

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
Would you please ignore that you
Found me on the floor
Trying on your camisole?
O alcohol, would you please forgive me?
For while I cannot love myself
Ill use something else.

Would you please forgive me
Would you please forgive me
