I get it, but I really hope the crash bars still open the door from the inside, in case of a fire or emergency. And I hope the fascists don't pull some fire code shit to try to punish these places. :(
Yes, door latches like this work by pushing the horizontal bar toward the exit and that will always unlatch them. To put the door in an unlocked position, you push the handle in and turn with an Allen wrench in a hole in the handle

They're protecting both their staff and their patrons. Good on them. With trump's gestapo running around, this is the right move.

Sacrificed fire safety for ice safety.

I'm tonight not because I like this, but because this is a good idea and we should raise awareness.

That's how doors work generally yeah.

Same, but the downside of that is they only need to get one person inside posing as a "normal" patron to let the others in
