2 am. Officials want to restrict the hours of operation for the city’s 154 liquor establishments that fall outside the designated hotspots in a continued effort to curb violence. “Some of the surrounding municipalities such as Passaic and Haledon close at 2 am.” said Andre Sayegh, 6th Ward councilman, briefly discussing the ordinance. The city’s bars and liquor stores are currently required to close at 3 am. Sayegh said the administration was attempting to bar trouble-makers from neighboring towns from coming to the city for an additional hour of revelry. Other council members didn’t buy the explanation. “Nobody gets out of a bar at 2 am and runs to Paterson for a halfhour,” asserted Julio Tavarez, 5th Ward councilman. Tavarez said bar-goers came to the city for its after-hours which rumbles through the night until 6 am or later. “The only ARUN KUMAR, WASHINGTON reason you’d come to Paterson at 2 am is

for the after-hours which is already illegal,” stated Tavarez. “What are we going to do about the after-hours?” The council president said the city ought to address the after-hours spots that are operating illegally. Otherwise, he said, this ordinance would result in exacerbating the issue. “This is the same thing as prohibition,” said Tavarez. He said early closing will simply open up an illegal option. “If we close earlier, the after-hours will open earlier,” concurred
Anthony Davis, 1st Ward councilman. The ordinance will not impact alcoholserving businesses already restricted to close at 12 midnight in hotspot locations. Out of the 197 alcoholic beverage licenses, 12 are pocket licenses (not being utilized at any locations), 31 operate in hotspot locations, and 154 are scattered throughout the city. “I see the fact that we’re open to three o’clock as a competitive advantage for our city,” said Tavarez.
