No one specific, just your best guess...5%?

Obviously those in the know should have a rough idea.

I started a thread when this first started asking if people knew of any in Nola. I didn't want a name, but was curious if there were any.

Today I was riding around and stopped at two or three places and was able to order a margarita on the rocks and a cocktail to go, so that was at least a step in the right direction.

People have said that it's not worth any bar risking being open in anyway because they could lose there video poker or liquor permit.

Like I said in the OP, no one specific, just your best guess what percentage are doing it.

I think the bar industry is being railroaded and they should be allowed to sell to go drinks, at the very least.

I don’t think there are many and If there are, they aren’t doing it really to make money. It would most likely just be something to entertain some regulars and friends.

To go drinks isn’t really all that of a draw right now. We can get daiquiris and margaritas to go and the grocery and liquor stores are still open. Not much demand to pay bar prices to not drink in a bar.

I know a 'VIP' and he did stated that there are work arounds available.

Didn't ask specifics, but it seemed like a slidell living room had been converted.

Not NOLA, but I know of a hole in the wall on the Westbank that's open a couple of days a week to "friends".

This is what’s happening. Opening is not worth risking losing your licenses.

Went to my friends bar to watch the draft Thursday night with a few regulars. Owners needed to float whatever draft beers he has left.
