What does a late-hours permit allow regarding mixed beverage sale hours?

• A. Allows selling after midnight
• B. Allows selling before 7 a.m.
• C. Allows selling on Sundays only
• D. Prohibits selling on holidays

Answer: (A)

A late-hours permit is about extending alcohol service into the hours after midnight. It allows a venue to continue selling mixed beverages beyond the usual closing time, within the post-midnight window set by local law. It doesn’t grant earlier hours, it doesn’t imply Sunday-only sales, and it isn’t specifically about holidays. In practice, it lets a bar or restaurant keep serving after midnight up to the limit their jurisdiction allows (often until a few hours past midnight, like 2 a.m. or 3 a.m.), assuming all other licensing requirements are met.
