For the past 55 years if you wanted to stroll the streets of Carlsbad (or hang out in a public park) with an open container it was perfectly legal. Later this month, according to a Barbara Henry story in the North County Times, all that is going to change.
For the first time in Carlsbad’s 55-year history, the city will prohibit the possession of open containers of alcohol on sidewalks, streets and other public areas in the downtown, except in fenced “beer garden” areas at street festivals or other special events.
And guess who was behind this new ordinance? Carlsbad’s bar owners. Interesting, huh?

Coyote Bar and Grill and other bars are now charging a weekend entrance fee!
You can’t drink in the parks and you can’t afford the bars…I guess the only other option is to become a recluse stashed away infront of your television with a can of Blue Ribbon and a microwavable TV meal.
It’s better with TiVo, a Rum & Coke and a P-Zone!!
