How long can customers remain on licensed premises after the licensed period has stopped?

  1. 15 minutes

  2. 30 minutes

  3. 1 hour

  4. 2 hours

The correct answer is: 30 minutes

Customers are typically allowed to remain on licensed premises for 30 minutes after the legal closing time. This practice is in place to ensure that patrons have enough time to finish their drinks, settle their bills, and safely exit the establishment without feeling rushed or pressured. This grace period helps promote responsible alcohol consumption and facilitates smoother operational transitions for staff closing operations, allowing for a more orderly exit for customers. Establishments must adhere to this timeframe to remain compliant with liquor laws, which are designed to maintain public safety and order. While some establishments may choose to offer shorter or longer exit periods, the standardized grace period commonly accepted is 30 minutes.
