Does anything know anything about property lease laws?

My favorite bar/restaurant stays open till 2 am. Their dumbfuck landlord is now telling them they have to operate strictly as a restaurant and close at 10. I have no idea why, but I'm sure it has something to do with serving underage minors and the owner of the building being somehow liable if they get caught.

There's no way in hell they can survive without creepy old drunks and college kids drinking till close.

When a business signs a contract with a property owner, is there some stipulation in the contract that says when they can close? I'm hoping the lease can somehow be voided and they can move across the street. Otherwise, they're fucked

Well, fuck.

Ok, next question. I know there are indemnity clauses that transfer legal liability from the landlord to the tenant if something goes wrong. Can this be done in a situation like this?
