This sounds like a very bad idea.  I cannot imagine how hard it would be to
then remove mineral oil from EVERYTHING in the room.  And I cannot imagine
that mineral oil allowed to stay on an object would not in some way damage
the object, especially textiles, but really any porous material is
vulnerable.  Since yours is a tavern, I presume theirs much wood, and since
I am not a wood expert, I would look to others to chime in here.   But
there's my two cents.
