Bars and restaurants across New York City that want to keep pouring drinks past their usual closing hour on New Year’s Eve have until Monday, November 16, to apply for an all-night permit from the New York State Liquor Authority.
The permit lets a current on-premises licensee stay open to sell alcohol between the closing hour set by statute or county government and 8 a.m. on New Year’s Day. Only active on-premises retail licensees can apply, and the permit costs $61 per licensed premises.
Current license holders who want to stay open later should log into their New York State Liquor Authority account to apply, the NYC Department of Small Business Services said in its November industry update for restaurants and bars.
