Is it really true that you can't just go up to the bar and have a drink, apps or sushi? This seems really odd to me and I will be terribly upset if it is the case. I understand about the people coming up to just watch the fireworks and wanting to prevent that, but not letting people up to the bar or lounge doesn't make any sense to me. My trip that is coming up I will be alone for dinner the first night and was palnning to go up to the bar for sushi and drinks..will I not be allowed to do this?
