closing times

When businesses end

Closing times are the hours when establishments stop serving customers or shut their doors.

Bars, shops, libraries, and offices all have closing times.

The phrase often appears in plural because different places close at different times: Closing times vary by location.

In singular, closing time signals the end of business: Last call—it's almost closing time.
