Miami Beach Booze Ban Lifted, Parties Can Go All Night

A temporary halt has been granted to the ban on alcohol sales after 2 a.m. in parts of South Beach, allowing nightclubs to serve alcohol until 5 a.m. through the spring break season. The ban was initially approved by the Miami Beach City Commission to address complaints about nightclubs from city residents. Lawyers for Story nightclub filed a motion to withhold enforcement of the city ordinance until after March 27, citing substantial and irreparable harm to the business and hundreds of hospitality workers who depend on it for their livelihoods.
