    Off Premises: Beer: Per state law, 24 hours/day.
    Wine & spirits: 9 am–midnight Mon–Sat, Noon–9 pm Sunday.
    Many counties have more restrictive hours, such as bans on beer sales overnight (hours vary).
  • Grocery Store Sales: Yes
  • Notes: Off-premises sale of wine and spirits is only at liquor stores, and beer is not sold at liquor stores; it must be sold at supermarkets and convenience stores. Exchanges for returned items are permitted (at store owners’ discretion).

    Some counties may retain the Sunday morning beer prohibition which the state discontinued as of July 30, 2006. Twelve dry towns, mostly in western region of state. All liquor stores must be owned by a single owner, who owns that store and lives within a certain distance of it — effectually banning chain liquor stores from the state. New York City law does not allow open containers of alcohol in public. Thus, having a beer on the stoop of a building may draw a citation. However, practically, bagged containers of alcohol are consumed in violation of the rule, since opaque bags conceal evidence necessary to prosecute a citation and it is difficult to warrant a search of the bag without other evidence (evidence discovered due to an improper search is inadmissible in court).

    Of course you’re forgetting the world’s smallest brewery, the Coney Island Brewing Company, who’s 1-gallon system was recently licensed as a fully functioning brewery.
