I'm all for it if Bob would just let it go.guys.
peace.
I could be wrong, but I believe the law allows it, not that restaurants have to.So bringing this back to life.
Anyone seen any restaurants actually following the new law? Every place Ive been still has the "nobody under 21" signs up.
Just wonder how many are going to follow the rule and how many are going to maintain status quo because they prefer it? I also wonder how many owners even are aware the law was passed. You'd think they are a member of industry groups that pass around legislative alerts so they should know about it.
Yeah, as far as I understand this allows minors to be present in alcohol serving zones, but it is ultimately up to the individual businesses and events to set up the rules. A lot of the places around here will not change, either because the quote "bar" area is already cordoned off from the rest of the building, or else the atmosphere would not be appropriate for children (such as a few lounges and dive bars around here). Heck, my favorite tavern still allows smoking inside.I could be wrong, but I believe the law allows it, not that restaurants have to.
Many places have mentioned that they don’t want the hassle and many patrons sit in the bar to get away from unruly children that I usually find in restaurants… lol
I'm not sure the relevance of this now, but this has to do with Excise Police requiring a cordoned off area for and "alcohol serving area". It could be just a rope, but there has to be some sort of barrier.Yeah, I know it’s optional. Was just curious what the effect was.
I too suspect status quo and do t mind that nothing changes.
And once again, when we went to wings, etc., they seated my family in the bar area, but not really. While we were within full view of the bar, on the same side of the half wall, our table was separated from the bar area by a metal pole. Lol.
Good God, how did I miss this Goat Rope?guys.
peace.
Many of Indiana's blue laws are a joke. If it was really a problem, they should be in a totally different room. Period. Full stop.I'm not sure the relevance of this now, but this has to do with Excise Police requiring a cordoned off area for and "alcohol serving area".

I only know this because we drew up plans for a few restaurants and event centers, and Excise will look over and approve things like a fire marshal or a building inspector once alcohol is involved. Indiana Building Code I believe also has some restrictions. Fortunately I just did the drawings and didn't have to delegate with Excise, though they made us revise drawings a lot.
It's just government control freaks and bureaucracy. Local jurisdictions can have their own ordinances even. For example Mishawaka has their own restrictions that are different than ones in Elkhart County. Hell, they made us put a pad lock on the fridge we were storing beer at my last job, even though it was behind a steel HM door that had to be perpetually locked.Many of Indiana's blue laws are a joke.

You cant tell me that my kids are safe at a table WITHIN FULL VIEW of the bar area with only a railing between, but they would be harmed if we moved 3' closer at the high top on the other side of the railing like this.

My first job out of college took me to a little town in Oklahoma, and one Sunday evening, I was at a pizza place with friends and I ordered a beer. The waitress said "We can't serve beer on Sunday". Out of curiosity, I asked if the liquor stores were also closed on Sundays and she said "No, they're open". I said "I'm from Indiana, and in Indiana (at that time), on Sundays the liquor stores are closed, but you can get served at bars and restaurants". She just looked at me and said "Well, that don't make no sense".Many of Indiana's blue laws are a joke.
HEA 1186, signed by the governor on April 20, establishes a 25-foot “buffer zone” for police investigations. Under the measure, anyone who “knowingly or intentionally” approaches within 25 feet of a police officer after being ordered to stop is subject to a Class C misdemeanor.
The law classifies an “emergency incident area” as being “defined by police or firefighters with flags, barricades, barrier tape or other markers.” It spans either 25 feet in “all directions from the perimeter of the emergency incident” or 25 feet in all directions “from the perimeter of the emergency incident that is articulated by a law enforcement officer.”
The ACLU has fought this in other states...

9 is too young. I don't think I tried alcohol until I was like, 13. I didn't make my own fake ID (back when we had paper licenses) until I was closer to 17.A young lady, perhaps 9ish, sitting in a barstool at the bar coloring and playing/crafting with beads. It was this past Sunday at Cedar Creek Winery in Martinsville around 130 or so.
