What time do bars close?

[kmch]

Heard from someone that just got back that all of the bars closed at 11:00 each night- is this true?  Is this how they manage the cost of free unlimited drinks- by limiting the hours of access?

Bars close when the entertainment and crowds end. No point in keeping a bar open if they are empty. There is at least one typo in this list from the Encore.

How about the bar in the casino?

It is a DRY SPELL from mid-night to 5 am - but it appears that the Observation Lounge maybe

your best last gulp to get that drink - have one of the beverage packages get two to take back

to your cabin.

I don't see O'Sheehans on the ENCORE but it being a 24 hour open restaurant one should

expect to get some kind of alcoholic refreshment with that mid-night meal/snack.

If there is some late late night entertainment - one would expect bar service to be available till

the show is over.

 

But then ? ? ? 

Buy a bottle thru Room Service and have it your way in your cabin late into the night.

casino bar will go as long as the action is still going.  and since on some ships it also servers the nightclub, it's usually open to at least 2AM or so.  After the club closes, the after party is usually at the local/O'Sheehans, where the bar will still be open until things settle down

The casino bar is normally open late and until the tables close.
 

The bars listed as closing late stay open while there are a crowd. No customers, the bars close. 
 

If you are desperate for a late night drink, the SWIFT room service (not included in beverage package) is always available for online ordering.

The Encore has The Local instead of O'Sheehan's. It is the best bet for a late night drink besides the casino. If you are on a ship that has a Bliss Lounge nightclub, that is usually open late also.

Does the usual room service fee apply to this service too?

Don’t know. We always walk to the bars to get our included drinks.
