John, Just as a note for your consideration -- I have no opinion on any matter being discussed right now, but State law requires bars to serve food -- but in order to not be a restaurant they have to serve food that has been produced off-site. If they start producing the food onsite they need a different license and such will have different food/alcohol sale requirements.
The "snacky-crap" that you refer to is actually a consequence of the current licensing law. (I learned this in talking with a smoke-free restaurant that wanted to serve their own food in their non-smoke free bar area in Duluth during the initial ban there. They couldn't serve their own name brand well-known branded signature food produced onsite to the bar -- or it would no longer be a bar and couldn't have smoking. For obvious reasons the voters have changed the nature of the smoking ban in Duluth.)

Jaros, Stasiu's, sample room, dusty's, spring street, mayslacks, moose, psycho suzi's, 1029, gabbys. The only one's I've been to that fit the bill would be grumpy's, the knight cap and possibly the 22nd ave station, but i have seen signs they serve food. I agree that all bars are not restaurant/bars but all bars in NE are not simply pushing "snacky crap" as food. John Harris webber-camden __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
