If that were in my community, I would make a call to TABC; I bet their phone number is on the sign.

I thought the sign was a mistake when I first went in as I was expecting an "applebees" kind of atmosphere. I was going to leave, but I was with my wife and she wanted to stay, so I left my gun in the trunk of her car. After getting inside, they had a big bar and there was a lot of drinking going on. More so than I expected, so I think it was legit. The other wing places, like Wing Stop, serve beer, but are not as centered around booze at the Buffalo Wild Wings. We have at least two of those in town now, and they are really alcohol oriented. Maybe it is an El Paso thing as it appears that they are not this way in east Texas.
Well, it looks like it might be time to call TABC. Just out of curiosity, I checked the TABC public inquiry system. It only lists one Buffalo Wild Wings in El Paso County. But amazingly enough, it does have enough information to make a determination. BWW in El Paso (10497 W. Gateway Blvd) has a food and beverage certificate listed as one of the subordinate TABC licenses. And since the law requires you to have 51% of your income be from food to get this certificate, it means they cannot possibly get 51% from alcoholic beverages. The sign is bogus.
