Revellers will have more time to toast the season after the Liquor Licensing Boards for Grand Cayman and the Sister Islands approved the extension of opening hours for liquor stores, bars, restaurants and hotels over the holidays.
Liquor stores are being granted a one-hour extension for Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. This means that on Grand Cayman, liquor stores will be allowed to sell alcohol up until 11pm on both nights, while stores in the Sister Islands can be open until 9pm.
The sale of liquor on Christmas Day is prohibited, except for hotels and restaurants that have been approved to sell alcohol that day.
The Ministry of Financial Services and Commerce, in a press release, noted that there will be no extensions for any liquor-licence holder on Boxing Day.
The boards also approved extended hours for New Year’s Eve celebrations.
Revellers seeing in the new year on Grand Cayman can buy drinks at bars, restaurants and hotels until 2:45am, and premises will be allowed to play music until 3am.
Nightclubs will continue to operate within their normal hours as they are permitted to play music up to 4am and sell liquor up to 3:45am.
For the Sister Islands, bars, restaurants and hotels are permitted to sell liquor until 2:50am and play music until 3am.
