Must be a reference to drinking hours, then. This Lance bloke must’ve been notorious :-)

Using wtf feels like cheating. It looked familiar, but I couldn’t figure out the low bar A. Next one I’ll try all by myself.

Crap. Theunis posted at the same time. “til the wee” means until the wee hours; i.e. very early in the morning...

Whatthefont identifies it as DIN-Black (5th, after a couple of nah’s). I concur, see the low A bar, the flat-bottomed M, and the distinct numeral 6.

(What does that “6PM til the wee” mean?)

I’m sure this is an iconic that anyone can name easily... In any case, love this font:
