What exactly is wrong with going out to a bar just to have a beer, instead of going to have food and a beer?
Most bars make the majority of their money through liquor sales. It is pretty ridiculous when cities try to force a bar to have a certain percentage of their revenue come from food sales. Cambridge did the same thing to Lord Hobo. A nice space with a large selection of different beers would fit in just fine in Davis Square. If the bar and its' clientele prove to be a nuisance there are mechanisms already in place to deal with that.
Rebekah Gerwirtz seems to be suffering from a strong case of NIMBYism.
