MONTREAL - Quebec bar owners say they don t understand why the COVID-19 health order preventing alcohol sales after midnight is still in effect, and they say the rule is hurting business and leading some patrons to drink irresponsibly. It doesn t make sense at all, Ziggy Eichenbaum, owner of Ziggy s Pub in downtown Montreal, said in an interview Tuesday.
He said that with last call at midnight â rather than the usual 3 a.m. â he loses around 50 per cent to 60 per cent of his evening business. The early last call, Eichenbaum added, is not reasonable at a time when other provinces, including Ontario, allow bars to stay open to their pre-pandemic hours.
