We have seen a lot of breweries beginning to refuse dogs at their establishment. We are a busy brewpub with a full kitchen.
We have a strict policy of not allowing dogs in the establishment, and have had this policy from day one. I want no animals in my brewery except those that we pay.
Recently we had a woman challenge us on access with her service Chihuahua. (yes a Chihuahua). She did produce papers as well as the dog had a vest on it.
We are a full service pub with liquor as well as being a beer producer. Can we still refuse any dog including those that wear vests and have papers?
I feel that because we are an alcohol producing establishment as well as having a full kitchen and serve wine and liquor that we are entitled the absolute authority to refuse service to anyone including service dogs. We will not allow people with children to sit and drink while their children run around like nuts. And all children under 21 must be out of the bar by 9pm.
What is the legal standpoint on this issue?
