CP, Edge closed first half of January

Local pubs take 10-day holiday

Local gay watering holes Centretown Pub and Edge are both closed until Jan 14 with their liquor licences suspended.

Notices at CP, closed from Jan 2 to 14, cite overcrowding as the reason for suspension.

Similarly the notice at Edge, closed from the Jan 4 to 14, lists overcrowding on the date of Jan 6, 2008 and a cryptic extra citation of “permit disorderly behaviour.”

In both cases, infractions happened in 2008 but the owners chose to take their license suspension this month. No doubt the owners of Swizzles and the Lookout will appreciate added business during the slow winter months.
