Pols rip 2 a.m. bar close at Barclays
The State Liquor Authority is being asked to return Barclays Center’s liquor license application for further consideration by Community Boards 2 and 6, after it was disclosed that some venues in the arena intended to continue serving alcohol as late as 2 a.m.
While the fans in the stands will have their alcohol cut off at the beginning of the fourth quarter during NBA games, the party will continue until the wee hours for hundreds of restaurant goers, VIP club members and those watching events from more than 100 luxury suites
State Senator Velmanette Montgomery, Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries, Assemblywoman Joan Millman, Assemblyman James Brennan and Councilwoman Letitia James complained in a letter to the liquor authority on June 5 that Barclays representatives never informed the boards about this late night booze.
