A year later, they changed their liquor license, and put the smoking section back in at the bar. We went back to celebrate. And that's who gets our money and our tips!
Hi, SheLion. I believe it costs an establishment an additional $700/yr or so to get the tavern license which allows smoking. Just another shakedown by the state. Pat's not only lost revenue all the time they had a smoking ban, they get to ante up another $700 for a new license.
Extortion, pure and simple.
