The Comet Pub & Lanes is seeking a permit that would allow it to stay open after 12:30 a.m.

Ethan Wurtzel, one of the co-owners of Comet Pub and Twain’s in Decatur, said, “We are hoping to expand our posted hours so we can stay open til 1 a.m., and until 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, which is a net result of being open an extra 5.5 hours per week. Our new hours would still have us closing earlier than some of our competition.”
