From Pub Curmudgeon (http://curmudgeoncolumns.blogspot.com/):
"Strictly speaking, if anyone can come in and have a drink without needing to buy a meal, it doesn’t qualify as just being a restaurant. However, I’d say there also needs to be a test of whether any meaningful number of people actually do, and whether non-diners are made to feel welcome."
without opening old wounds, discuss.
