small town bar question....
where i grew up we had taverns all over. sure, you could get alcohol, but they alsoe served plenty of chow and it was no big whoop for kiddos to eat with their dad up at the bar. are the bars you speak of merely drinking establishments or more like taverns?
Most are taverns, at least now days. There is a fairly large discount on insurance when food proceeds are a sizable percentage of sales. At least that was the case when I was young as there was often "complimentary" food though drink prices were slightly higher than before. Creative accounting had one paying for the food though it was "free".
