Answer:
In this poem, the word toll is used metaphorically to describe the beverages outlet in the poet's town. Just like vehicles that stand in a long queue to pay the toll (road tax), people who come to buy drinks also have to stand in a long line just to buy a bottle. The poet is sad that his town had come to such a situation that to buy alcohol, one must wait for such a long time.
