After hours alcohol

I am never in a club late at night to know the answer. Do clubs have to stop serving alcohol at a certain time or can they go as late as the club stays open? If the local law forbids the sale of alcohol after 2AM do the clubs stay open and serve non alcohol drinks? I know the answer in Vegas. :)

Dallas has a 2 a.m. liquor cut-off where alcohol cannot be sold nor consumed after 2 a.m. - the BYOB clubs stay open past 2 a.m. but force you to toss your liquor after 2 a.m. or take it to your car - some clubs that sell alcohol stay open past 2 a.m. but no alcohol is sold nor consumed.
I have been to a lot of clubs that stay open as long as there is a critical mass of spending customers, though, switching to non-alcoholic drinks. I have heard rumors of one staying open serving alcoholic drinks anyway.
In Phoenix around 2001 or so, there was a law forbidding nudity after midnight, so the nude club I went to would turn into a pasties/bikini club for another couple of hours. There was no announcement of last call to see vulva or anything, though. It just seamlessly switched as though it had been that way the whole time.
Not surprised a few jurisdictions have other rules, like the dual-license scheme ppwh cited
