Subject: RE: BS: TavernCulture:What time do the bars close?
In the late 60's in Halifax, Nova Scotia taverns were not open on Sundays but "lounges" were allowed to be open as long as food was served. A friend and I went to the Acadian Room lounge one Sunday♠ afternoon in the long gone Acadian Hotel on Hollis Street. We asked for a quart of beer each and the waiter informed us that we could not drink unless we ordered food. I asked him what was the cheapest thing on the menu and he replied "Cheese and Crackers". I asked the price and he replied "It's complimentary". We enjoyed several beer over several Sundays with complimentary cheese and crackers.
