Consumer Protection Reminds the Public: You Don’t Have To Go Home, But You Can’t Stay Here

Bars and restaurants may not stay open an “extra hour” due to Daylight Savings time change

11/01/2024

A frame from the movie Freaky Friday, showing Lindsay Lohan and Jaime Lee Curtis. On Lindsay Lohan's face is the Consumer Protection logo and the subtitle "I do not suck the fun out of everything." On Jaime Lee Curtis's face is the phrase "everyone else" with the subtitle "fun sucker!"

HARTFORD – The Department of Consumer Protection (DCP)’s Division of Liquor Control is reminding the public that when we turn back the clocks from 2 a.m. to 1 a.m. on November 3 (Sunday morning), bars and restaurants may not remain open an “extra hour.” At that time, no more sales, consumption, or presence of alcoholic beverages is allowed in these bars or restaurants according to state liquor regulations.

“It’s time for our annual fun-sucking reminder,’” said DCP Commissioner Bryan T. Cafferelli. “When the clocks turn back that’s your sign to request a ride or call a cab, not to order another round. Go home, enjoy that extra hour of sleep, and as always, please drink responsibly.”

Those who have questions or wish to file a complaint regarding a liquor permittee in the state, may contact the Liquor Control Division by emailing dcp.liquorcontrol@ct.gov, or by calling (860) 713-6210. The Division also accepts complaints filed online at portal.ct.gov/liquorcomplaints.
