How does that work if they happen to get a bunch of customers who only buy booze and throw off the ratio? Do they just stop selling drinks until enough people have bought food again?

I'm not sure, tbh. But judging by the lack of generous happy hours around here, I think that might be one tactic used.

Also, one time I went to the Brass Rabbit in Clarendon for a $3 wine night. Of course, it turned out that was too good to be true. Wine was only $3 is you ordered it with food.

It's more in how you'll see square footage allocated. There's always going to be a few extra tables next to a dance floor, and the kitchen is likely to stay open longer. They're mostly subtle things that you wouldn't think about, but it does mean that a small bar like Showtime couldn't work in VA.
