Scanned: 2026-11-13 (Provisional, with the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Dutch Courage is partly visible to agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Dutch Courage's website. It can read what Dutch Courage offers. It finds a way to book or order directly, through OpenTable.

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_429), ClaudeBot (http_429) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.

# Dutch Courage

> bar or pub in 2229 North Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21218, Baltimore cafes and bars. Phone +1 667-309-7167.

## Book or order directly

- Book: https://www.opentable.com/widget/reservation/loader?rid=1077064&type=standard&theme=standard&iframe=true&domain=com&lang=en-US&newtab=false&ot_source=Restaurant%20website (through opentable acting for the business)
- Menu: https://dutchcouragebar.com/menus/

## About

- Website: https://dutchcouragebar.com/
- This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models.
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Booking through opentable on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **OpenTable works with agents through its partners.** OpenTable's terms page could not be fetched on 2026-10-15; OpenTable names over 200 authorized partners, Google, Meta and OpenAI among them, as the channels through which agents book. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/business/2026/07/14/opentable-new-terms. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
