The popularity of the original beer corner has caused new ones to sprout up through Old Quarter.
Daytime businesses are turning their sidewalk space into beer corners at night. All in the hopes of cashing in on extra income.
But it is a gamble and why there are usually only one to three tables. It’s all about available space and staying out of ‘trouble’.
Uh-oh, it’s the police
Thing is, it’s not entirely legal. It’s also the reason you’ll see the local police roll round in a small truck patrolling the streets. They confiscate offending tables and chairs where they catch them.
This is why the server will suddenly tell you to stand up and start clearing the tables and chairs, leaving you and your beer, hanging in the breeze.
There is no need to panic. As long as you’re on the sidewalk looking inconspicuous, you’ll be fine.
Give the five-oh a few minutes to roll past and watch as all the chairs and tables come rolling back out.
Before you know it, you’ll be back to having a beer ball on the sidewalk. It’s all part of the adventure, right?
