I've honestly never thought about asking somebody else in that situation. If a company doesn't want to market to me (which is what their website is doing), that's fine, but I likely won't patronize them. Too many options are available for me as a consumer to waste time working around a business' short-comings.

Calling is another option and getting the phone number of a place is usually easy, even if their own website doesn't work. But, when you're sitting around in a noisy bar the web browser is a better choice. If you rule out all restaurants that use Flash on their website, you're going to rule out a huge number of restaurants. For whatever reason, locally owned restaurants seem to use Flash something like 80% of the time (and the usually also use PDF for their menus, multiplying their level of fail).

- CamperBob 15y ago1) There's nothing wrong with .pdf for restaurant menus. .PDF works fine on all platforms worth mentioning, and the files don't even have to be all that large if encoded properly. 2) Wait a year and I'll bet 90% of those restaurants will no longer require Flash. As someone said above, they'd have to be idiots, and they're not, for the most part. Complete nonissue, IMHO.
