Re: Found a way to check if a place is a 51% Location!

So I guess they have two licenses in one location? One with "SIGN=RED" upstairs and one with "SIGN=BLUE" downstairs?

I never saw a sign today. I came in the front door, looking on both sides, went back to the bar, the gift shop, then back to the bar to look at the license and never saw a sign. I'm assuming you're saying that they have a sign upstairs? I didn't go upstairs, so I would have missed that, but I still don't know if they can have two licenses for one address.

No 30.06 or 51% sign to be seen anywhere, and "SIGN=BLUE" on the license.

After walking around looking for any signs, I walked up to the bar and I could see the license, but it was on a clipboard on the right side wall behind the bar. I asked to see the license and the bartender didn't hesitate and brought it to me. This is the second time I've asked for a license, and both times there was no questions or even hesitations. I don't know if they're required to show it to anyone who asks, but if ever you'd like to see it, just ask.

They might be 51% at night 10PM to 2AM, while there's an actual band there, but they can't break it down that way (It's monthly receipts I think) and this place seems to be mostly a tourist trap and lunchtime restaurant.

Re: Found a way to check if a place is a 51% Location!

Last week we had a vendor in the office that wanted to take us out for dinner before he flew out. My coworkers and I have heard that HOB is overhyped/overpriced, but that's where he wanted to go, so off we went. At the door I looked for either sign and saw none. On the way to our table we passed by the bar and I saw nothing. If it's there and I missed it, they sure aren't trying real hard to make it seen. From what I've heard and seen, they're operating more as a restaurant than a nightclub. Even the bar looks more like an afterthought than anything seen at Chili's, Outback, etc.

I'm only a few blocks from there so I'll go later and take a closer look and see if I can find the license to get a definitive answer.
