A bar I have done lots of drinking at, and my family still up there drinks at a lot is on the edge. And we are all great friends with the owners and vacation together so it is a horrible thing to see.
Being that they can't smoke inside, they go outside to smoke and often bring their drinks with them. The owner, Nino is rightfully fearful of getting busted for having patrons drinking outside. But when your a small neighborhood part with the same 5 guys being a vast majority of your business you either demand they not go outside with their drinks or look the other way and risk getting cited for that violation.
