Changed topic title to reflect new business in the building

Tried to visit them tonight, but they were closed at 1am on new years eve, a friday night nonetheless. Supposedly they're open until 2am. Not a good start, closing early on your second night in business.

Luckily no-one goes out drinking on Friday's, or New Years Eve.

I bet they had to use all the staff at the other Nelson drinking establishments, perhaps not enough to go around on such a BUSY night of amateur drinkers.

There were a few people in there finishing up and paying up, but all the doors were locked. It wasn't completely empty. It just looked like they closed early.

Was that 'street party' on Elgin a Nelson production? Those people were out of there the second the fireworks were over just after midnight.

I was finishing up my beer on the street and none of the 'street party' was left. Firepit put away. Beer trailer gone, etc. I was afraid I was gonna have to explain to some cop "No really, there was a beer trailer and street party here five minutes ago" as I was cited for public drinking.

That was probably due to whatever time the city had the outdoor permit expiring.

Or that the show was over, it was cold and people didn't want to be outside anymore, and if I worked at a bar I'd shut my station down as fast as possible if I was freezing and dealing with a bunch of cold boozers.

I organized the street vendors for the KJRH party on Brookside last year.  We didn't get much of a crowd until about 11:15 then it really swelled between 11:45 to midnight.  By 12:30 it looked like a ghost town.  It was incredibly cold that night and there was still quite a bit of ice on the side streets.  I was really concerned the event would be a dud, but it worked out at least for 45 minutes of it.  Those in the VIP tent had a great time all night.  Townsend is correct, people generally don't care to stand outside and drink when the temp is in the 20's.
