There aren't that many people who would go to the bars later and staffing is already a shit show.
Selling booze for less money isn't a desirable "opportunity." It is just selling product for less. If they choose not to do it then they'll lose business. When they do it to compete, they make less money on the business they already had.
Lose lose for bars.

lol look at econ 101 over here. Why should they not have the ability to stay open later or have specials on alcohol if they want to? It wouldn't be a mandate.
Both are ways for bars/restaurants to find a niche

They asked why bars aren't for these motions. I stated why.
I won't argue that the bars shouldn't be allowed to do whatever. I don't care, but the reason bars aren't pushing for these is because it makes it more difficult to compete.
People should keep in mind that making it even harder to run a successful bar here will mean even fewer local places and more Buffalo-Wildwings-esque places.
