You confiscated them? Deny entry, sure, it's your business and you have no obligation to risk liability (although as you say, there's little risk and you bend the rules when your revenues are weak).
Nut how does that give you confiscatory rights? How do you come to be exercising police powers and deciding that you can take other people's stuff on behalf of your local jurisdiction? Is this a legal requirement, and if so, how do you justify a) bending the rules as described and b) not surrendering the confiscated property to the civil authorities?
(I realize you were tending bar, not operating the business, yourself.)
