BYOB and Cigar Shops

alley00p · 02-03-2009, 02:15 PM

My B&M, ViBratto's, allows "cigar customers" to bring in a bottle of wine, spirits or beer. The owner's rule is "If you want to bring something to drink in here, you better be buying a stick (or more)".

There is a wine shop next door and a lot of strangers buy a bottle and come walking in, asking if they can sit and drink the wine because the wine shop has a no smoking policy. That's where the owner's rule comes into play.

Regulars are always allowed (and encouraged!) to bring in a good single malt scotch or single barrel bourbon to share with their friends.

This is where I have been learning all the fine points of single malts!

We allow it at the shop I work at, just don't get stupid drunk.

I think around these parts they have to have a "consumption permit"

More or less the same where I am. BYOB is fine, provided you don't get drunk here.

Liquor laws are queer as three-dollar bills, and Louisiana has it's share of screwy ones. Alcohol can be offered, free of charge, on the premises, however an employee cannot serve it, otherwise that requires a liquor license.

We actually have a shelf in the office filled with boozes that regulars bring in and leave for when they want a drink.

At the B&M I go to, they don't care as long as you're smart about it. It's pretty much Don't Ask Don't Tell, because they aren't allowed to serve it.

The local shop by me has it as one of the rules that you can not drink alcohol in the shop. Thats why I smoke at bars.
