51% Sign in a Restaurant Bar or Theater Bar

[Scott in Houston]

Scott, if they ignore you pointing out the sign is not the one they are supposed to put up the report it to TABC they will make them change it

I have done that and it hasn't changed. I guess I could keep asking. I just think the TABC doesn't really care either... At least not when it's the 4 Seasons.

Maybe they treat the bar and restaurant as two separate businesses in the same building. They keep bar sales separate which I guess would make the 51% sign appropriate.

Having worked in the hotel business, there were a couple of places I worked where the bar was a separate business with a lease for the bar area. This was done because the hotel owners did not want to deal with the TABC or couldn't get a license.

In most cases like this the drinks on premise are restricted to the bar area. However, they don't have to be, and that means the whole area defined when as 'premises' when the license was obtained is off-limits to carry.
