AmIlegally allowed to keep my current job as a host at a brewhouse althoughI am on probation?

I currently work at a brewhouse but I recently looked into the terms of my probation and it says that I am not allowed to enter a bar or tavern. However, since it is my only job and only source of income I want to know if I will be able to keep that job or if I will have to find another job for legal issues?

If your probation order states that you are not allowed to enter a bar or tavern, then it means what it says. However, you work at a brewhouse and need the job to earn money.

I would contact your probation officer about the situation where the terms of the probation under its literal sense would prevent you from working in the brewhouse which is your job. My impression is that the probation order did not take into account that you actually worked in a bar or tavern. If you have a criminal defense attorney you should consult with him or her as to a means to get some leeway on the probation order that you are writing about in that it prevents you from having gainful employement.
