Last call for alcohol to come early this weekend
Call him a party pooper if you must, but he is, after all, just doing his job.
Ernie Davis, the acting superintendent of the Ohio Department of Commerce’s Division of Liquor Control, is reminding all bars, clubs, restaurants and other liquor permit holders that Daylight Saving Time starts this weekend, officially beginning in Ohio at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 14.
But what about all those bars and clubs that close at 2:30 a.m. because that’s the time that they must stop serving alcohol under state law?
“When the clock strikes 2 a.m. on Sunday morning, the time will spring forward and be, in fact, 3 a.m., 30 minutes past the legal closing time for permit holders who are entitled to be open until 2:30 a.m.,” Davis said in a news release. “All sales and consumption of alcoholic beverages at permit premises must cease prior to 2 a.m., when clocks should be advanced one hour.”
Matt Mullins, spokesman for the liquor-control division, called the news release “a public service” to help ensure bar and club owners know — and follow — the letter of the law. Mullins said neither he nor his colleagues can recall any effort by the legislature to insert an exemption into the law allowing bars and clubs to avoid having to close a half-hour early one day out of the year.
Of course, in the fall, late-night imbibers get that half-hour back, and then some. When the switch to Eastern Standard Time means the clock “falls back” an hour at 2 a.m., bar patrons get an full hour of extra service.
But not surprisingly, the division of liquor control is silent on that point. “We don’t send out a new release in the fall,” Mullins said.

Wine dinners & tastings to hasten the thaw
Dayton-area restaurants and wine shops have once again assembled an eye-popping array of wine tastings and dinners, which you can peruse in one fabulous list courtesy of the herculean efforts of the Dayton-based wine listserv that puts all of this information together each and every week.
One addition to the list that will help usher in the spring thaw: El Meson restaurant at 903 E. Dixie Drive in West Carrollton will host a Spanish Wine Dinner featuring the wines of Faustino from the Rioja region of Spain at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 16. The cost is $65, plus tax and tip.
