"Cantina"-like Space Station
I'd like to start my next adventure in a Beta Quadrant space station, and I'd really like it to have an ambiance like the Cantina from Star Wars: A New Hope.
I'm even hoping to have it so that weapons aren't allowed (at least no phasers or disruptors). I don't know if that sort of thing has ever been done (or seen) in Star Trek before, but I'd really like to encourage some Unarmed Combat (like with some Nausicaan thugs). It's hard to imagine, though, a fight even getting that far when the PCs can simply pull out phasers and stun any unruly types.
Anybody ever done anything like this? Or can you recall any settings in Trek that might fit a locale like this? I'm remembering the one where Picard disguised himself as Galen or met Ro Laren undercover, or the bar in The Search for Spock. Some place where any alien would fit right in and a human-looking type might almost stand out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
