Downtown Nashville bars and restaurants are poised to have a huge weekend, with
St. Patrick's Day falling on a Saturday, and NCAA men's basketball playoff's at
Bridgestone Arena on Friday and Sunday. Cash registers will be ringing
nonstop.
So why is Will Cheek blogging about this?
The NCAA
tournament will draw a huge college crowd, with tons of under 21 year-olds
looking to try to grab a drink at watering holes. St. Patrick's Day is infamous
for inspiring revellers to drink to excess. The combination makes for a
dangerous weekend mix of profitable sales, underage consumers and exuberantly
intoxicated patrons.
Surprise! Nashville police and ABC agents plan to be
out in full force this weekend. Plan on visits by law enforcement. Make sure
your staff is ready and that everyone is vigilant about carding and taking care
of intoxicated patrons.
