Which code does this activity belong in?

Drinking places are establishments primarily engaged in preparing and serving alcoholic beverages for immediate consumption, and may offer limited food services as a secondary activity. The key distinction is that drinking places focus on beverages as their primary business, whereas establishments classified in Special Food Services are primarily engaged in providing food services at customer-designated locations or from vehicles. Establishments in Restaurants and Other Eating Places center on food service rather than alcoholic beverage service as their primary function.
