Perhaps they like it when tourists walk around back to relieve themselves?

A “Dory” is a type of fish and a greek spear. It is also a small, shallow-draft boat, about 5 to 7 metres/16.4 to 23.0 feet long. In this case it refers to the boat which is mounted to the roof of the establishment in question.

I had a small business in a town that spent millions on renovating the streetscape to be a quaint faux-Victorian town, but omitted public restrooms.
As a business owner, I know what it’s like to want to post that sign to the tourists who don’t understand why they can’t pee.

The mainland should build a concrete barrier around the island then, so the islanders aren’t “bothered” by little things like supplies of food and beer…then they can be as unfriendly as they like on their own side of the wall.

Extra thumbs to the brave PA-ers who took it for the team and investigated their website so I don’t have to.

I quote from The Dory’s website: “Kiffer fondly remembers the good old days when owner/bartender Eddie Langbine would pass out from the hours of drink and sleep right on the floor while the customers would go behind the bar, make their own drinks and put the money into the cash register. “It was the honor system back then,” he recalled.

“Fondly remembers”. Yeah, that the bartender drank at work and passed out…what a hoot.
Ugh.

How can you serve or sell food and not be required by law to provide restroom facilities? As far as I know it’s the law. You got problems with people coming in just to use the toilet, make them ask for the key.
You got problems with people in general–don’t run a business.

Well, first I had to download QuickTime to watch their stupid introductory “video” which featured entirely unremarkable still photos on a slow zoom interspersed with poorly-lit, Blair-Witch-Project-shaky video. The intro goes on and on, but I watched until the very end, where I saw a photo that showed what appeared to be the only pool table in the bar with some sort of floral arrangement on it. After that I was not surprised by the quality of the rest of the website. Or by the p/a note.

p.s. Cupcake Burgers? Blerg.

I was at the town hall meeting the day the WHOLE town voted on outsiders holding it. A motion was brought forward and it was unanimous….. they also voted to not be a friendly municipality as stated.

That’s the blood of those who really just couldn’t hold it and beat the bartender to death before peeing in the whiskey bottle.

I guess that also explains the red urine splatter mark there too?
