It is illegal to serve beer and pretzels at the same time in any bar or restaurant.

The Law Explained

Back in the days of early liquor regulation, lawmakers aimed to prevent bars from using salty snacks to artificially drive up thirst and alcohol sales.

While entirely ignored today, this quirky rule stems from post-prohibition puritanical fears.
