I'm pretty sure you can have both. I believe it is a Restaurant - Conditional permit that allows you to have under 18 during certain hours and over 18 after.



That’s how Barcadia is set up. No kids after like either 6pm or 8pm, something like that.

Oddly enough they’re allowed at FH’s but not Tchop Yard. I don’t get it.

Similar thing happened to a bar in Arabi. They had a kitchen in the back. They wanted to open a courtyard behind the restaurant and serve food out there to all ages. They built seating, put up tvs, had plans for swings, etc. ATC came in and shut down the plan, saying that the entire "location" including the back area and outside the back area, is licensed as a bar


Oh that's what happened to that place. That blows

It’s based on what license you have. If you have an AG License Alcohol General nobody under 18 is allowed in the establishment and if your poker machines don’t have a barrier around them technically nobody under 21 is allowed in the establishment although the ATC and State Police aren’t on the same page. If you have an AR license anyone is allowed in. Lots of “Bars” have AR licenses because their zoning wouldn’t allow an AG license so they rolled with the AR license unless they were able to pull the strings to get it fixed. Lots of older bars that aren’t necessarily zoned for an AG license have an AG license because the location was grandfathered in because whoever originally got the liquor license did so either before most of the current zoning was in place or before neighborhood associations put moratoriums on the future bars. This was a big issue in 2006 when the restaurant smoking law came into effect because a number of bars operating under AR licenses suddenly couldn’t have smoking and had to try to change their license. You don’t just go to the ATC and say I’m only gonna sell 30% food give me a AG license, if you aren’t zoned for it you have to operate as a restaurant. Henry’s has an AG license and has been in violation of the law for 3 years, and my guess is they knew it and just put up the door and their course of action if they ever got in trouble was to just plead ignorance. The only place I know that has successfully pulled that move is the Harbor in Metairie. They subdivided their building into two addresses. One side has an AG license and has smoking and 3 Video Poker Machines. The other side is an AR license and is a “Deli” and has 3 more Poker Machines.

I would think the only real benefit to get an AG license instead of an AR is smoking, right? But in the city of NOLA where smoking isn't allowed in bars either, why would anyone who serves food get an AG license?
