Hope springs eternal, but not for Tennessee restaurants and bars in the wee
hours of Sunday morning March 11, when clocks spring forward for daylight
savings time. At 2 am, clocks spring forward an hour.
Suddenly, it is 3
am. Is it closing time?
The Tennessee ABC says yes. Last Call is an hour
early. At 2 pm standard time, when clocks are set forward one hour for daylight
savings time, alcohol sales must cease. The Nashville Beer Board concurs. On
Sunday morning, closing time is 2 am.
There is good news at the end of
summer. On Sunday November 4, bars get a bonus hour and can close at the
equivalent of 4 am, when clocks fall back at 2 am. At 2 am, suddenly it is 1
am.
Confusion over daylight savings time is
rampant. But the Tennessee ABC is clear about the rule. Close at 2 am this
Sunday March 11.
