== Germany ==
Bar closing hours in Germany are regulated by the federated states or cities. Since the 2000s, many federated states and cities have none or relaxed regulations. In many states and cities bars are open as long as there are customers.

Open-air locations such as [[beer garden]]s often must close at 11{{nbsp}}p.m. or 12{{nbsp}}a.m. to reduce [[noise pollution]]. Exceptions may exist for weekends, [[Carnival]] and [[New Year's Eve]]. Not all cities strictly enforce the regulation.
