Reminds me of my first gay bar in Des Moines, the Question Mark Bar and Grill. The front area was a traditional bar with a small dance floor at one end. But a big room in the back was a restaurant where you could have a full meal if you wanted. Most people just sat at booths or tables having a snack or a drink. For socializing. Nobody needed an ID for the restaurant space, which was the point. Lots of college kids (like me) hung out there.
