    Just wondering, having been to the BYOB bowling during the week, what are the legalities on licencing regards to bringing your own beer, and drinking it in their premises? Would it be legal on good Friday etc?

    If the premises isn't licensed for the sale of liquor then there shouldn't be a problem. If it is licensed there there would be issues for the licensee with permitting people to be on the premises after hours (which would include all of Good Friday) and/or permitting the consumption of liquor (whether it was sold by him or BYO) on the premises after hours.

    For example I couldn't see any legal issues with a cinema showing a movie on a Good Friday and permitting people to bring cans of beer.

    But with some cinemas also having a licence to sell beer, they couldn't, no?

    Correct, they would be subject to the licensing laws and could be done for the offence of permitting liquor to be consumed after hours, an offence which is blind as to the issue of where the liquor came from.
