Anyway, I love this place and have been waiting years to go in on Monday nights for 25 cent chicken wings without fear of black lung. I'll be disappointed if they get the exception.
Hooray!!! The last place on earth to go smoke free.innov8ion wrote:And we're now smoke free! Mostly.
I'm looking forward to some really cold weather. I love to watch the idiot smokers huddled out on the sidewalk!leeharveyawesome wrote:This formerley beautiful city was BUILT by smokers and drinkers. The suburbs were built by....weak-minded people with no soul.
I'm a bit disturbed about some information I came across that implies that Johnson & Johnson is putting alot of money behind these "bans" hoping to boost sales of their anti-nicotine products.
It's not about smoking. It's about money. It has become a multi-million dollar lobby that a fair amount of vocal people can easily get behind because, yes, smoking can be annoying when your eating. And vvvwwwaaalaaa!
And wow does it really bring out the self-righteuous weenies!
It should be up to the people to be responsible and respectful enough to know when and where smoking or any type of behavior is acceptable. Instead we bring in politics and laws and politicians and big corporate dollars. Sad.
Meanwhile, the govt - who supposedly cares deeply about your health - will give you a food debit card that many people use to exist solely on Hostess cakes and barbecue chips and grape soda.
But a grown-ass man can't walk into a bar and sit at the log with a drink and cigarette.

And surely, the lobbying funds around the ban have traces back to nicotine-patch makers and cigarette companies. I'm just rueing the day when I'm going to be at a quiet bar eating dinner & hearing someone narc out & yell: "YOU'RE A SMOKER! THAT'S ILLEGAL! WAITER, ARREST THAT MAN, BECAUSE HE HAS A PACK OF SMOKES SITTING ON HIS TABLE! SOMEONE CALL THE POLICE!" Just a matter of time, I suppose.
Focus: Are there any Downtown bars/restaurants that will still have indoor smoking? Please list if you know of any.
Disclosure: I smoke and am not a fan of smoke-filled venues.
That thread is for establishments with exemptions. This is to discuss establishments that allow smoking when they shouldn't.wheelfru wrote:Another thread going on this: http://urbanstl.com/forum-bridge/index. ... =viewtopic
Different. That person is asking which bars will have smoking. In other words, be exempt from the law.wheelfru wrote:Another thread going on this: http://urbanstl.com/forum-bridge/index. ... =viewtopic
This is exactly what I wanted. A confirmed smoking bar on the southside. Thank you. You are the best.JakeKTU wrote:Drove by this in Soulard, it appears you can still smoke at Bastille:
