| New York approves new World Cup drinking law with bars set to stay open later than ever during tournament |
| 2026-06-10 |
| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The bill, passed on Tuesday, June 9, will give establishments across the entire state the green light to serve alcohol until 4 a.m. - matching the late-night closing times that are usually reserved exclusively for New York City. Under the current State Liquor Authority rules, closing times vary wildly by region. Counties like Ontario are restricted to a 1 a.m. cutoff, Niagara locked down at 2 a.m., and Warren forced to close shutters at 3 a.m. The new legislation will instantly dismantle those regional curfews, allowing local pubs and sports bars to synchronize with the city from Thursday, June 11. The bill officially expires on Tuesday, July 21. |
