Arlington Heights is poised to overhaul its late-night dining rules, letting restaurants with liquor licenses close their kitchens as early as 8 p.m. while still serving drinks — a move sparked by business owners who say the old 11 p.m. kitchen requirement is costly and rarely profitable. The mayor admits he often can’t find food after 9:30 p.m., and the change could impact 78 local spots. Though some officials worry alcohol should always be paired with food for safety, the majority voted to proceed, trusting businesses to manage their operations. The village also plans a new “sip and stroll” program to boost downtown activity, aiming to stay competitive with neighboring towns. The final vote on the revised 8 p.m. cutoff is set for next month.
