They all close at or before 8pm (most on the Eastside of Seattle close at 7; a few at 8)

There are actually a few that are open later. The one I usually go to in sodo is open until 10pm on weekends, 9pm during the week.

The other wierd thing about WA is that there are two types of liquor licenses (for bars and restaurants), one of which only allows the sale of beer and wine. Technically, you have to serve food in order to be able to serve hard acohol, which is why lots of bars and clubs actually have some frozen entrees and a microwave hidden someplace. I feel like when I first moved here 3 years ago it was pretty common to find beer and wine only bars, but know I rarely find any place that doesn't have hard liquor.

No. Va.

Bars open till 2, but they have to server food a lot of places, so you don't have many real "bars"

Beer and wine in the supermarket till midnight. Liquor at a Alcoholic Beverage Control store till 9pm.

Actually, it's exactly the same as where I went to school in Rochester, NY, except there wine is only in liquor stores. Buffalo bars were open till 4am but I think they recently changed that back to 3am.

North Carolina's a cool state, their liquour laws are okay. Beer and wine till 2 AM I think, in any grocery or convenience story. Liqour stores open till 9 PM every day but Sunday IIRC.

Yes, you have to pay 10cents deposit on every can of carbonated anything. Noncarbonated = no deposit. It's really not that bad though, just take the case of empties back to the store when you pick up more, easy.
