It's my understanding that only alcoholic beverages count toward the 51% requirement, wether they are sold directly at the bar, or by waitresses.Liberty wrote: That being said I wouldn't carry into a Chilli's etc. unless I were pretty sure about the place. Bar reciepts may be determinned by all beverages. even the non alcohalic ones.
For example, one of my co-workers favorite hangouts is a place called The Flying Saucer in Addison. It looks like a resturant, but it's a beer garden type place that serves mostly beer and just a few bits of food, and therefore apparently is a 51% establishment. (They have a sign at least.)
