The same reason half of Europe has closed shops on Sunday, worker protection.
You need strong laws to not have businesses abusing and pressuring peoples to work the shity 14h shift till morning for earning a peanut.
And workers protection law + North America are not often put in the same sentence.
Also it’s generally not worth it business wise. Paying salaries and more from 2 to 4 (or 6am or whatever) to sell two beers means losing money. You might have a few festive nights here and there, but most of the weeks/months you’ll have an empty bar so even the owners are not pushing for it.
Closing means you have all the drunks dumped out on the street at the same time to have a fight. Stay open later, let people leave on their own staggering out out more.
That’s such an entitled shit to say, holy shit check your privilege. What if it’s one of the only things I could afford? What if it’s my parents house? Come on.
There are usually other places at a similar price, its very unlikely there is literally only 1 place to live and everything else is significantly higher unless you are getting a crack den - at which point the pub probably has more reasons to complain about having a crack den upstairs.

Allowing bars to stay open is not the same as requiring them to stay open. Owners won’t keep a bar open 24 hours if there isn’t any business.
I know that, but some might pressure you to work the night shift “or…”
People living around bars also want to be able to sleep sometimes.
Closed bar also means less drunk people in the streets. In my city you cannot buy alcohol “to go” in shops after 9pm and bars close at 2.
After that if you want to continue partying you go to night clubs.
Anyway, a wise drunk dude once said “nothing good happens after 2”, and from experience he was right.

You sure haven’t lived above pubs near a stadium. I’d torch all the fucking drunkards.
You chose to live there.
