Many venues will not allow people to bring in food, or any kind of beverage. For some this is due to a wish to increase the profit margins - for others it is a desire to prevent being sued. For example - under NY state law - if you have a license to dispense food or beverage - then under the current health code you are liable for ANY food or beverage consumed on the premises - regardless of whether you served it/prepared it, etc.

Yeah, but WATER??
