But we really can make this simple for day to day use. As a general rule, ask yourself what the average person goes to that location for. If they are going there primarily because of the alcohol, it is almost definitely a 51% location. If they are going there for a meal, it is almost definitely not a 51% place. If they are going for entertainment that they pay for, either a movie or a concert, then it is not likely to be a 51% location either.
If the sign says Bar, Pub or any euphemistic pseudonym, probably a no-go.
