TimetableThe Covid-19 pandemic has sometimes imposed strict measures in terms of bar closing times: 1am. Since the situation has returned to normal, closing times have returned to pre-pandemic levels. The closing time depends on the type of establishment, its clientele and its geographical location. Some close early, others at 2 a.m., while others stay open late into the night. It is best to ask around to avoid finding a closed door or to find out where to end the evening.
