Earlier this week, Alberta Gaming and Liquor Control (AGLC) announced bars that participate in Calgary Pride events would be able to serve alcohol until 3am instead of 2am, and close at 4am instead of 3am. After some confusion of which bars are able to stay open for extended hours, we have received a list from Calgary Pride on which bars received the ok. To our understanding is that the bars that have received the ok is based on the nights that Pride events happen in their bars or were willing to be open the additional hour. Flames Central has not yet appeared on the list but still waiting for the approval for the Pure Pride dance.
