Why is it that I am expected to eat to get a seat in a lot of places in La Marina.  There are times I would like to just go out have a drink and listen to the entertainment.  I cannot stand in one place for any length of time because of a spinal problem I have.  Why don't the bars have a small seating area for people like myself. I don't sit all night with a glass of water and would not have any objection to paying an entrance fee to these venues but, I don't want to be blackmailed into spending money on eating out all the time.  If they are selling tickets for a meal and entertainment then I can understand it, but to keep tables empty just in case someone happens to walk in seems ludicrous to me.  Surely a Bird in the hand is worth two in the Bush.
