So, I had to look it up, and from what I found, dwarfism is not necessarily considered a disability. It may be a problem if you refuse to hire a little person because s/he can not perform the job without a reasonable accommodation (such as a step stool to reach the draught beer taps). But as a customer, it may be perfectly legal to extend "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone" specifically to little people as a whole. They are not singled out as a protected class.

If I was satisfied I wouldn't be arrested or implicated, I guess it would depend on how desperately I needed a job at that point. I'd rather not, but if I was starving, I might bend my ethics in this instance and hope I'd never have to enforce it since it's fairly rare. (From my years of hospitality, I can only recall one little person who came in to the restaurant, only occasionally, and she was kind of a bitch. I might have barred her if I had the excuse of Company Policy.)
