Sales of alcoholic beverages may not begin before 7 a.m. on Mondays through Saturdays. On Sundays, sales may begin at noon, but local governments are authorized to adopt ordinances that allow sales in those communities to begin as early as 10 a.m.

Sales of alcoholic beverages are not allowed after 2 a.m. on any day of the week. Patrons are allowed to consume alcoholic beverages served to them before 2 a.m. up until 2:30 a.m. By 2:30 (not after), permittees must make sure that all consumption stops and must clear all tables, counters, and bars of any alcohol and alcoholic beverage containers.
