1118 Drouillard Road – History Uncovered [Edited Title – wrong address]

A few photo’s of the Breaktime Lounge on Drouillard. These photos were sent my way yesterday from my Dad who caught this while cruising past.

Some of the metal cladding either came off or was removed. Not sure which, but underneath the old brick and tile became exposed.

I bet there are many beauties trapped under ugly metal cladding. Metal cladding was the stucco of the 1970’s. 🙂

Have a good weekend everyone, see you back here Monday. Big thanks to my Dad for stopping to grab a few shots of this place.

  • Oh yes, the warm beer from the bootleggers at 2 a.m.
    Good memory Bob. Judy was my friend's mom.
    As rough as the hood was, it had life when I grew up. Always kids all over the place. But the closing of Holy Rosary school and Holy Rosary Church really hurt what was actually a pretty tight community.

  • I had my very first bar experience at this place. 3 pitchers which got me wasted back when it was Betty's breaktime lounge! Good times.

  • Bob C i belive u talking abt my mother Aggie. It used to be called bettys brake time at the time my mother Aggie and my stepfather Balazs owned it back in the 90s. They moved to la sale and now in little river. They doing fine .
