I have been calling up a lot of these places. Most of them who do accept bitcoin don't seem to know much about it. These merchants have just turned on the Square bitcoin service on their terminal. Not great, but it seems to be a good starting point for a conversation. It took a while, but I found one really promising bar/restaurant in Charlotte, NC. I may make a post to see if stackers have been there. I think they hold local meetups. I should have some more information in a few hours.
