Agreed.

Their business plan should not have hinged on smoking, or not.

This coming from a smoker.

frankly, I'm tired of businesses using the smoking ban as an excuse for A. going out of business and B. (especially B.) paying musicians on average 50% of what we were making two years ago. I call bullsh*t! And I am 100% opposed to this stupid legislation, but for other reasons.

I was there a couple of times before and after the smoking ban. It was completely empty both times. I visited on a Friday and a Saturday night. Nobody. The smoking ban caused them to go out of business my ass.

I went there once and it was dead, and it was a Saturday. It was just a crummy bar, the night we were there the service was awful, the beer was old, the drinks were made horribly. My friend got a long island that tasted awful so she stopped drinking it, after about an hour of it sitting on our table it began to seperate and has some sorta sh*t floating in it, I had never seen that before.
