Curiously i found this http://www.halifax.ca/archives/halif...21p151-281.pdf form 1986, which is the DA to open the beverage room next door, and retain this lot as parking, which has been the case ever since.
Interesting. I remember when Bearly's first opened, but for some reason I've never been in the place. Hasn't been a conscious decision, it just hasn't happened. I also noted in the old photograph that the Bearly's building contained a restaurant at the time - perhaps that helped the case for the beverage room to be accepted by the residents of the area.

One would think that as the value of the land increases that we'll see a proposal to develop the empty lot, and likely the pizza shop on the corner. Just speculation as usual, of course, with no basis in fact as there still seems to be a greater desire to tear down existing buildings rather than develop empty lots.
