Several recent public disturbances have the Minneapolis City Council reconsidering special late-night closing times for some downtown bars. Councilmember Joe Biernat is asking the council to look at whether two early morning brawls might not have happened if bars were forced to shut down a few hours earlier. With a "late night license" downtown bars can stay open until three am as long as they stop serving alcohol at one. Biernat sponsored the late night license a few years ago, but says the program didn't work out as he hoped.
