“It would change everything – it would change having to commute and just safety in general,” Moreno added. “I wouldn’t feel comfortable getting home that late.”
The city of Seattle is gauging interest in extending alcohol service hours past its current 2 a.m. cutoff for liquor sales.
“I think 3 a.m., 4 a.m., that makes sense to me, but 24 hours is too much,” said Lilliana Moreno, a bartender at the restaurant. “It’s 8 p.m., people go home, they’ve got Netflix, they’ve got whatever else they’re streaming. They’ve got the sum of all human entertainment on their couch, so going out is definitely on the decline,” he said, adding he’s lived in Seattle for almost 50 years. “I don’t know if being able to drink until dawn is going to help that.”
“I think later than 2 a.m. could be chaos, but I do think: there are people who work swing shifts, work later in the evening, maybe they don’t get off work until midnight,” he said. “Maybe those people should have an opportunity to go out.”The survey closed March 5, and its results are not yet known, as of this reporting.
