Liquor Control Reminds CT Residents about Package Store and Bar Hours During the Holidays

The Department of Consumer Protection’s (DCP) Liquor Control Division is reminding Connecticut residents that hours for some liquor permittees change on holidays:

Off-premise consumption:

Package stores must remain closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day

Grocery stores cannot sell beer on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, or New Year’s Day

Manufacturer permits cannot sell alcoholic liquor to go on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, or New Year’s Day

On-premise consumption:

Normal hours remain the same, except premises must close by 3 a.m. on New Year’s Day morning.

Local zoning rules may create stricter limits for both off- and on-premises sales.

Anyone with concerns or complaints about a liquor permittee in the State of Connecticut is encouraged to contact DCP’s Liquor Control Division via email at dcp.liquorcontrol@ct.gov, or at (860) 713-6210.
