Talk:beer parlor

beer parlor
Bars exist in America, not beer parlors (nor beer parlours.) Haven't we been through this, before, for this one? --Connel MacKenzie 04:47, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Bars, saloons, lounges, joints, watering holes, holes, dumps, but never heard heer parlor. Probably a marketing term some bars are using to try to distinguish themselves from the others.--Halliburton Shill 06:17, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Added some quotations from Google books - seems to be more Canada than US. SemperBlotto 11:28, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Clarification: The same contributor entered beer parlour, but added this as the (impossible) US variant. In Canada, is this considered a typo of beer parlour?  --Connel MacKenzie 18:06, 6 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Hang on! In Britain we have pubs, (or under previous licencing regulations sometimes beer houses), but NOT beer parlours. The "posh" bar in a pub with several (rare nowadays) was usually called the saloon, and occasionally the parlour but never, AFAIK, at least in my lifetime, the beer parlour.


 * Looking at b.g.c., there are beer parlor hits from US Congress, a book on early interaction between native Americans and settlers, etc, 625 hits in all. Meanwhile there are only 345 hits for beer parlour and many of them Canadian. --Eng in ear 21:26, 6 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Huh? Crime and Punishment is Canadian?  :-)  FWIW, I've never heard either beer parlor nor beer parlour outside of Wiktionary.  --Connel MacKenzie 23:54, 11 February 2007 (UTC)


 * FWIW, neither have I. Well, I said many, not all, but thereagain I believe Canada's closer to Russia than UK is, and Penguin is US owned :-). --Eng in ear 13:29, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
