There is a balance between the two, and it depends on the focus of the 
restaurant/club/bar.

If you want more of a drinking place, then yes, drop the price on booze, and 
jack up the food (or cut the quality).  If you want more of an eating place 
then do the reverse.  And yes there is a middle ground on both.

This question borders on what so many bars and restaurants start out with, and 
then frequesntly kills them in the end.  The owners/managers do not find the 
balance between what they want and how to budget for each.  And there are 
1,000,001 reasond for the start up, the budgeting, and the success/failure for 
each.
