How I do not miss those days with smoke being everywhere
Not sure if this is 100% true or they were just bullshitting, but they explained Michigan's smoking laws were intended to protect employees who were required to be around it all the time. They claimed that if you had a privately owned establishment with no employees you could allow it.
Didn't really care to fact check them at the time but always pondered on this.
This place in particular was only open 3 or 4 days a week and basically 5pm - close, sometimes just for the dart league. Single old guy who probably didn't need the income.
They had good burgers though.
