As someone who is bartending this summer... Y'all need to chill. I know it's fun being able to go out again, but you don't have to treat every day like it's your 21st birthday again. In Portland we're allowed to be open till 2:30 again, but a lot of bars are just choosing to not do that. There's too much mayhem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaxick Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I pretty much live The Big Lebowski life at this point and do my drinking at the bowling alley. On the weekend, you can pay something like $20 to bowl all you want from 9pm to 2am and the beer is priced affordably too. That place is an anomaly for bowling alleys though as they're running two large bars out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzzzle Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 There's a bar by my house that had to close early on Friday night because they ran out of food, then they had to close Saturday night because a full on brawl broke out. Chair throwing and everything. We also had to close early one night for running out of food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uaarkson Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 People have been drinking/drugging their asses off since the pandemic began. Probably an entirely new generation of addicts was born out of this period, around the world. Yet another consequence that may not be entirely obvious right now.

In Oregon you can't serve liquor without "prepared entrees" which have to meet certain requirements. You can serve beer/wine without food, but it's a separate license 34 minutes ago, Jason said: Does Oregon legally require you to have food available to be open serving alcohol??? Depends on the license, but generally yes. You can't serve hard alcohol without "prepared entrees" and there are certain requirements. Like something from a vending machine doesn't count as food. You can serve beer/wine without food, but it's a tricky thing where you have to have a specific license for beer/wine, which most bars don't bother with.

I think the vast majority of bars in Los Angeles have food and I think there's a similar legal/regulatory reason. So in Oregon once you run out of food, you have to close down since you no longer have "prepared entrees" available? And as a customer you don't HAVE to order food to get a drink in Oregon, right, the bar just has to give you the option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_m_b_m_b_m Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 A great number of bars in my Ohio college town sold popcorn because there had to be something available and it could just be snacks or something. Was great for college. VA has to have a certain % of sales must be food (iirc) and at least in Richmond has lead to some fantastic dining options here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a full on premises liquor license, you have to offer prepared food. No food = no booze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In May, the agency said it was reviewing 1,300 reports of passengers behaving badly on flights since February — after initiating 1,300 such cases in the decade prior.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 At this point, I REALLY do want the Association of Flight Attendants to go on strike to force the government to take FAR harsher measures against those who commit this behavior.

So people were basically firing $500 mortars into the sky until 3am. From about 5pm to midnight it sounded like the firebombing of Dresden and the whole city wound up bathed in smog.
