Miami Beach can party all night after booze ban halted

CNN  

CNN — The party looks set to go on well into the night in Miami’s South Beach, for now at least, after ban on alcohol sales after 2 a.m. was temporarily halted. Now a Miami-Dade County judge has granted a temporary halt to the planned ban, allowing Miami Beach nightclubs to serve alcohol until 5 a.m. through the spring break season, according to a representative for Story nightclub. The business filed a motion Wednesday to withhold enforcement of the city ordinance until after March 27 – the peak of spring break tourism – according to Miami Dade County Court documents. During spring break last year, attorneys for the Clevelander hotel effectively put a stop to the Miami Beach City Commission approved ban on alcohol in South Beach nightclubs after 2 a.m. as violence and misbehavior hit the beach during a rowdy spring break.
