Morgan City in the 80’s was Grow Johns and T-johns.... owned by same guy..... used to play “playboy “ pinball machine for hours. JENX was the barkeep there and kept me fully stocked. Grow Johns was a cheers type place with pool tables and a huge game room. Plus had bands regular.... when I would walk in they would put a 16 oz bud on the bar for me......

People like you weren’t allowed in those places.

You were trash, you probably hung out at the Rathskeller

That is not true, if your bar doesn't have a kitchen you are looking at $25-40k to run the gas line, plumb, buy and install the hood, buy equipment, the 3 compartment sink, grease trap, etc. If you have a working kitchen they are giving out the license, those without a kitchen are looking at a very tough situation short of coming out of pocket 25-40k.
