 The longest bar west of Winnipeg (1890-1916) When the Alberta Hotel opened its doors in 1890, it had a peculiar claim to fame. Inside was reputed to be the longest bar that could be found between Winnipeg and Hong Kong. In fact, it measured 125 feet of polished wood and glass. The Alberta Hotel’s long bar was truly the place to be in Calgary. Everyone from prospectors to dignitaries came for a drink and stayed in the rooms. In the mornings, the hotel bar would open at 6:00 a.m. and would serve free drinks for three hours. It was The Alberta Hotel’s way of helping the previous night’s patrons get on with their day, slightly less hung over. When prohibition dried up Alberta in 1916, The Alberta Hotel went out with a splash. The morning before the law came into effect, the hotel was said to have dispensed enough liquor to fill every horse trough in town. After that the long bar was closed for good. |
