Barclays Center liquor license approved
The State Liquor Authority on Wednesday, as expected, approved a liquor license for Barclays Center – but with a fixed cut-off of alcohol sales no later than 1 a.m.
Although Community Board 6 had recommended that alcohol sales be cut off at 2 a.m., Dennis Rosen, chair of the liquor authority, proposed a 1 a.m. cutoff, and his fellow commissioners agreed.
In his remarks, according to reports from several online sources, Rosen acknowledged concerns from local residents about the impact of late-night drinking on nearby residential neighborhoods.
