I've seen a lot of even older places close down. Sad to see. This

"When liquor regulations allowed women into taverns in the early 70s,

to walk through the kitchen, up a flight of stairs and past a walk-in
freezer to get to the bathroom."

Was Canada Islamic? Glad to see you deposed the mullahs.


It wasn't only Canada. McSorley's, reputed to be the oldest Tavern in
NYC, was male only until 1970. I don't know if it's still the case, but
they didn't add a ladies washroom.
