Curiosity not quite satisfied: I was wondering--for no good reason--whether it was still illegal to have a bar/saloon in California without offering some kind of food. Apparently not, but now I'm wondering whether I'm right in believing it *used to be* illegal (resulting in some sad packaged sandwiches at some bars).

What I *did* find out: licenses--either beer & wine licenses or full liquor licenses--are different and probably cheaper if the establishment is a "bona fide eating establishment," which means a majority of its revenue comes from food rather than alcoholic beverages.

For many years in my town you could get into bars when you were 19, though in theory you had to be 21 to drink. That was changed a few years ago, but you can still get an exemption if you are an entertainment venue.

You can have kids in a place that serves food. You can't have them in a pure bar.

When I first got to Wyoming, you could still get a mixed drink to go at the drive up window of the bar. Those were the days.
