Should a person in sobriety avoid restaurants that have bars and/or serve alcohol? Why or Why not?
Same with dessert! I use to try too save calories for drinks and now I don't feel guilty because I'm not downing cocktails! Healthy and happy

Everyone is different. I avoided them at first just to be safe, but I found that it wasn’t a problem. Try it out and you get triggered then leave

I think this is go’s into the “ people and places and things” category

I love ordering virgin Bloody Marys at a local brunch place. I love to see the price reduce by 50% or more because there's no alcohol. Celery, spicy pickles, olives, and pepperoncinis are an added bonus. 
I've never really been a huge fan of desserts at restaurants before. I'm branching out now. I rather eat my calories. 
I think cake is my biggest weakness. In fact years ago I go a laugh when I looked up my middle name on urban dictionary. I said guy who loves cake.

In early recovery it is a good idea to avoid any place that triggers you.. In time. Working a solid program. You will be able to go anywhere anybody else can go. But. You may not want to.
Solid advice
I thought about that, too. Do you feel that operations like Door Dash make it easier to enjoy establishments without the trigger of alcohol?
