Any person who willfully violates any provision of this subsection commits a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
The BOLDED sections above are the areas you need to pay specific interest. The term primarily devioted to is the key when entering any establishment that serves alcohol.

Even then, it may still lend itself to interpretation (meaning you'lkl have to have your attorney interpret it in court) if you get caught sitting at the "bar" in the Outback Steakhouse for example.

Even though many people eat there, it's "primary function" will likely be determined to be the sale and consumption of alcohol.

The term "nuisance establishment" is also one you want to pay particular attention to.

Let's assume you go to a local restaurant that has a "shady" character, has had it's share of "disturbance calls" (which could be simply loud music), yet still has a designated restaurant area.
If there have been eoungh calls for service at the location, it's now considered a nuisance establishment....oops!...again

Good to know your locations as well as your statutes
