Tim’s got a handy list of ways to tell whether you’re at a restaurant or a bar:
If your napkin feels like linen, it’s a restaurant. If your napkin feels like the Yellow Pages, it’s a bar.
If you need reservations, it’s a restaurant. If you have reservations about admitting where you were till 2 a.m., it’s a bar.
Good thing, too, I’m constantly getting confused.
