The main watering hole at Dalhousie University has gone dry for now.

The student union has closed the Grawood Lounge, a university spokeswoman said in an email. She didn’t explain the reason for the closure.

Student union officials couldn’t be reached Friday.

A spokeswoman with Access Nova Scotia, which is responsible for alcohol licensing, said the closure didn’t have anything to do with liquor control.

A notice on the lounge’s Facebook page said, “due to unforeseen circumstances, the Grawood will be closed until further notice. Please contact the DSU president at dsupres@dal.ca if you have any questions or concerns.”

The Chronicle Herald caught wind of the closure in an email from a reader that inaccurately said the university had lost its alcohol licence. In fact its licence is still valid.
