ust wondering what loop hole those bars used (actually, who they know?)

This is all local talk.

Jims and Bueches did not have a restaurant license. They first closed, then had enough of waiting so they re-opened as "restaurants" with no in door smoking and some tables setup. After the weekend that Sand Dollar in GI got shut down Jim I believe closed, and Bueches went to take out food only. Jims apparently got their restaurant license and now back fully open as a "restaurant". From what I heard Bueches is still waiting on theirs.

Satterfields restaurant closed at the beginning. Since then they announced permanent closure, and putting it up for sale. The bar below it "the landing" closed, then opened, then closed again following JBE orders. They never could claim to be a restaurant since the food they served was from the actual satterfields restaurant upstairs and it has been closed permanently.

Sand bar......I have the slightest clue how that place has not been shut down. I know they already have strikes on their License to serve alcohol and they have been bucking every rule. They have had multiple bands, never closed not once, no real restrictions, vollyball, and firework displays. Hell the very band Parish County Line that got Sand Dollar Marina shut down (for not even playing on their property or hired by sanddollar) played at Sandbar recently i think for the 4th. I do know they are a "bar and grill" and apparently have a restaurant licences? So maybe they skirted the BS with that, and using the claim "out door seating" etc.

Again, all rumors. Don't take it for truth.

Not a restaurant licence, but a permit. I think they are issued by ATC as well, and are different from just a permit to sell alcohol like a bar.
