Question on Florida laws

[fairway1]

I am going to visit family in Florida next month. I have a PA LTCF so I will be bringing along my Glock 30. I am trying to clarify about carrying in an establishment that serves alcohol. Can I carry in a restaurant that serves alcohol as long as I don't enter the actual bar area?

As far as I know that's the rule in Florida. Stay out of the bar area.
