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 just illegal for them to sit at the bar. They had to sit at a table or in a booth.
