Soccer fans can toast their favourite teams as early as 10 a.m. during the World Cup, under relaxed bar hours approved Wednesday by Toronto City Council.
“People were allowed to drink from 11 in the morning until 2 the following morning, and now they’ll be allowed to drink from 10 in the morning until 2 the following morning,†said Deputy Mayor Joe Pantalone.
Council voted overwhelmingly for the extra hour of drinking time, from June 11 to July 11.
“It’s appreciated by people who enjoy a good game with a glass of beer in the hot days of July and August,†Pantalone said. “It’s extremely significant to enjoying the beautiful game and giving an economic shot in the arm to small entrepreneurs, which is what restaurant and bar owners are.â€
