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.
