Their regular customers are going to bars outside the city limits where there is no ban.

Bottom line is that all the non-smoking pussies that cried about getting a smoking ban aren't spending the money required to keep local businesses open.

PS. I don't smoke, but I dont want to see smoking bans put in place.
I know Time Out has been on the outs for sometime. Every seens it changed owners. But I did hear that people are going out of the city limits to bars. But I would not have been able to tell that by the amount of people I saw out that night. They did get up and go out and smoke then come back in. But the places I went where busy, just as busy as before.
