Party Past 2 AM At Bars In These Counties In New York

If you like to party until the wee hours, these counties in New York are for you! Unlike some states, New York doesn't have a unified "last call" time for its bars and restaurants to stop serving alcohol. Of course, there are some very conservative counties, but others are more lenient. The counties listed below permit bars and restaurants to serve liquor past 2 am, which is a common cut-off time in New York and other states nationwide.

Some states, like Mississippi, are SUPER conservative. Most of the counties in the state prohibit drink sales after midnight. Meanwhile, Nevada is WIDE OPEN, having no "last call" time at all. There is the old adage - "Nothing good happens after 12 am" - that may have come into play when counties were deciding what time to close their bars. That saying has evolved to 2 am, rather than midnight, but many still believe it's true. However, some counties in New York State are here for the party...or at least the revenue it brings in. Staying open an additional hour or two can help bring in more money, which not only benefits the bars and restaurants but also the county and state with taxes. About half of the counties in the state stay open to either 3 am or 4 am.
