Which of the following describes a nuisance bar in NM?

• A. A bar that is continually unused for illegal purposes
• B. A bar that is continually used for illegal activities
• C. A bar that is licensed and operates legally
• D. A bar that serves alcohol after curfew

Answer: (D)

A nuisance bar in NM is identified by violating the operating hours set for serving alcohol, such as continuing to serve after curfew. This curfew breach creates a public disturbance and triggers liquor-license enforcement actions, which is the defining way the establishment becomes a nuisance in licensing terms.

The other descriptions don’t fit as well: a bar that is continually unused for illegal purposes isn’t generating ongoing nuisance activity; a bar continually used for illegal activities could be a nuisance but the specific, enforceable trigger highlighted here is the curfew violation; a bar licensed and operating legally isn’t a nuisance.
