Liquor board allows bar extension for NYE
(CNS): The Liquor Licensing Board has confirmed that valid licence holders will be granted an extension beyond regular closing times on New Year’s Eve. The celebrations fall on a Sunday night this year, but bars and nightclubs will be able to stay open past their regular hours into Monday morning. At a recent meeting, the board decided all licence holders will be permitted to sell liquor and play music until 4:00am on New Year’s Day.
Licensees are advised that the last serving of alcohol must be at 3:50am, ten minutes before the closing time, in accordance with the Liquor Licensing Act. Music must stop at 4:00am on the dot.
All other licensing stipulations will remain in effect. The board also noted that no extensions will be in effect for Christmas Eve on Sunday, 24 December.

Liquor in the front, poker in the rear?
Agree or disagree but can we at least agree that its good they took the decision well in advance this year. Good job there by the Board.
9-1-1 and EMS will have to put another pot of coffee on, they’ll be mopping up the wake of this decision until daybreak.
12 or 4 it won’t matter unless gov let’s in ubers or slash taxi prices.
I always stab my enemies 17 minutes after closing time, irregardless of when that is.
For the safety of all on island for NYE the police should have traffic stops checking for drunk drivers if the party is clocking that late into the morning. I am behooved to also say government should be proactive in making sure taxis are at max capacity for that night. I don’t want to start 2024 reading a NEw Years car crash headline took another precious life. Dwayne the Rock Seymour and Big Mack McKeeva should be assigned oversight to make sure everything goes right. Bring in the heavyweights best of the best the elite to make it all good!
no huge difference….bars/clubs can normally stay open till 4am on a monday bank holiday.
I am flabbergasted about this decision! Who in their right mind needs to be out beyond midnight. Clearly it’s not just Cinderella that needed to be home before the clock struck midnight. Cayman needs to keep it classy and get Dwayne The Rock Seymour on this situation. Bbbrrshhhhh!
WWJD?
Pour some wine?
turn water into wine and party till the cave opens
Make water into wine and celebrate with his fellow in celebratong another year of life
Imagine being so specific about the final time “3:50am” as if it’s ever going to be enforced. I can picture the FRU barging into Bananas or Vics at 4:01am on New Years Day, guns drawn just to politely ask all the pissed up Jamaicans to hop in their cars and head home without even so much as a breathalyser in site.
May as well just let everybody do whatever the XXXX they want at this point as that’s basically the status quo anyway.
Let’s please resolve to stop this toxic bias towards Jamaicans in 2024. It’s not cool.
Please understand the majority of people who make disparaging remarks about any nation of people are underachieving parasites.
Not me.
The thumbs up say otherwise. But I think you may be missing that posters point.
I think they were basically saying nothing happens anyway so why even stick a time on it. Jamaicans and Hondurans are more likely to be at Vics at 4am than anybody else.
Had they said “Marriott carpark at 4:01 to ask the pissed up Canadians to leave” would you have been so offended? Or just said “yes sounds spot on actually and then said “probably not as the police don’t punish white people”
Both of those scenarios are exactly the same problem with this island. The police won’t be anywhere to be seen when it matters
Cue the racism police.
