2402...Ottawa, Sin City

Imagine.

Beer.

In the morning.

CFRA reports that Ottawa soccer fans will be able to raise a cold one for their favourite team one hour earlier during next month’s World Cup in South Africa.

The Ontario Government has announced it will temporarily change drinking hours so fans can watch the games at an Ottawa pub or restaurant.

Licensed bars and restaurants will be able to open and start serving alcohol at 10 am instead of 11 am from June 11 to July 11.

There’s a six-hour time different between South Africa and Ontario, so some games will begin at 10 am Eastern Time.

Councillor Rainer Bloess introduced a motion at last week's Council meeting asking for Councillors support to petition the province to change the drinking hours during the World Cup.

Not a soccer fan am I but drinking, much so.

Go Ireland!
