on sale - drink on site
off sale - drink at home
some places here have on/off liquor sales. basically a bar with an ability to carry something home for later

I'm actually curious as to whether this would work or not.

I dont see why not, but Im sure there ends up being burning at some point
It's surrounded by water, so you wouldn't have to worry about a fire in the immediate area. It should have some sort of cage over it to minimize flying embers.
Holding my own.

And that's what I'm wondering. How long and how hot would the fire have to burn until it became too hot at some point. Then again you're in a pool of water and you can always splash some water on the fire to cool it down.
