Ok. That is the last straw for me! If I am not under 30 I can't enjoy the "establishments"? Damm! What are you people telling me? At age 31 my $20 bills are are too small and wrinkled?

Not THOSE establishments.
I was referring more to those overgrown college bars that still service the twenty-something gang.
Why? Because the hip/trendy bars in Dallas that attract the "see and be seen" crowd on Friday or Saturday night but rely on the thirty/forty-somethings who frequent their attached restaurants/lounges on the other nights of the week to keep their doors open.
Now I know many of these bar/restauant managers (and have a close friend who does bar/restaurant PR)... and they view the Saturday night drink specials as a loss-leader because they create buzz for a club and the overall name and drive the business dollars into their restaurant.
