In Jersey City, Prohibition continued up through the late ’60s — at least for women who wished to drink in a local saloon. It was illegal for people of the female persuasion to imbibe in Jersey City bars. The law was enforced by the beat cops. If a wife was accompanied by her husband, the rules were relaxed with a wink. The man could have two drinks in front of him. His spouse’s place at the bar had to display a prop bottle of soda pop.

It was legal for women to drink in the bars in Bayonne though.
It was just illegal for them to sit at the bar. They had to sit at a table or in a booth.
I was Raised in the Rialto Bar on E 22St Bayonne. My Father and Mother owned it.
Oh yeah Joe Zicarelli was my Godfather.. He kept john digilio from murdering me back in the 80′s.
digilio was a mad dog. That’s why he got a bullet in the back of the head.
Joe Zicarelli had nothing to do with it.
