The bar Ice and Fuel in West County has become the first casualty of the St. Louis County smoking ban. The owners said they could not sign a long term lease due to the threat of the upcoming smoking ban. Ice and Fuel in Kirkwood reported a 15 percent loss due to the Kirkwood smoking ban a while back. The West County Ice and Fuel could not take a chance on those sorts of losses. The bar had a farewell party last night and no longer answers its phone.
I am afraid this bar won't be the last to fail due to Barbara Fraser's smoking ban.
