Why do they have parking spots at bars and pubs?

I saw one that said "parking for Norm only! All others will be towed". Pretty funny!

Cause not everyone drinks and drives.  Most people drink beer legaly in their own homes.  Maybe you just need to mind your own business.

because if you have control of the area you can stop people from entering and exiting, forcing them to go all the way around which takes longer... and time is money.  They can also charge money for a toll therefore creating a profit.

I think your confusing it with Singapore. Its illegal beacause they are big on avoiding loitering... so no sticky gum on the pavements or park benches there

No, that would be illegal. You are in a public access place why would people want to risk that?

its a code that every public business has to abide by for sanitary reasons. if they do not have the open front toilet seats they will have points taken off of their heath inspection i believe it is called. might be able to find out more from city hall in your town.

I would say that is a very good idea, from a social stand point. People usually have those things in their back yard for privacy, so that they can have a social gathering without the whole neighborhood knowing. But if the purpose was to meet people, I don't see any reason it couldn't be in the front. \n\njust my opinion

Its not a nationwide law, its specifc to the state and even to the municipality.  In New Orleans, they are very liberal with regard to walking around on the street with an open container.  In NYC, you can't do that, you'll get a ticket.

Around here, they direct traffic and help with searches when people are lost.\n\nI suppose they do other stuff, too.

Toronto is a huge city and there are many spots that could hold stags.  If you know anybody that lives there have them investigate possible settings with liquor licenses already, saving you both the cost and time.  Also seeing how it is a stag and most spots are non smoking you'll probably want somewhere were the laws are a little more relaxed and perhaps they have a special area set up for smokers so they don't need to go out and freeze while lighting up.  A great idea, but costly, would be to rent a room at the Air Canada Centre while the Leafs are playing and that way the guys could play cards, drink, party and watch a good game all at the same time. Good luck.

God I think every pub in England has one.\n\nDepends where in the south east you are.... Try your local yellow pages and call around and ask if there a fee for going in! A few off our pubs here in East London are charging to watch it.

There's a side lot next to the river which surrounds an old abandoned warehouse.  You pay your $10 to park and no one bothers you.  Drinking, BBQing..you name it.  When you approach the exit gate..ditch your beer cause the cops will be on your ass for it!

Also to keep up public image so people aren't as willing to complain about the bad things they do or try to get the city to buy out the service.  It's more of a preventative strategy.
