On their property they can impose whatever rules they
like.

Not quite. They can't impose rules prohibiting negroes,
or pregnant women, or cripples.

True, but we're talking about beer.

And there is still a
feeling that they are a public service, and somewhat of a
"natural monopoly", so they don't have the absolute
freedom you suggest.

They're not and they do, unfortunate though it is.
