I can agree that a person could be playing their personal character in a way so that they are "officially" considered an Adventurer who, as Blue just stated, signed the register at the Guild. This makes it very direct and easy to justify your character's access to the perks of the Quicksand (Leves, the Hourglass, etc). But...
What if, say, a character earned the trust of Momodi through prior events in their backstory without being an "adventurer"? I believe someone quoted an NPC somewhere about gaining access to something after proving yourself "trustworthy"? Wouldn't this also stand to reason that any character, even a "civilian", could be a friend or good acquaintance of Momodi and have access to those perks like any other adventurer? You don't need to necessarily slay some magical Golem or consider only Main Story quests as the justification that you have "exclusive access" to both the tavern and the inn. It's Momodi's establishment, so realistically it's up to her who can and can't be there or have access to the perks. Sure, I can understand civilians not being able to take on Leves (unless they were for their gather/crafting jobs), but what if a skilled acquaintance of hers needed a place to rest their weary self after some grueling task that was unaffiliated with the Guild? I don't think she would just turn them away, whether their name was scribbled down on a piece of paper or not.
In the end, I think it all really comes down to just how specific/particular a person wants to be about the overall canon. Some may want to say "You are ONLY an Adventurer/deserve to be here if you signed the register and have Momodi/Miounne/Baderon's seal of approval". Others may go with the belief that realistic relationships can exist with NPCs, or that those NPCs in question actually have more "life" to them than simply following some robotic script that dictates they can ONLY open their doors for people who fulfill X-Y-Z conditions. Personally, I think it adds a little more depth to the world to show these relationships or differing circumstances between individuals. Why does everyone in a tavern have to be a part of some exclusive brotherhood/club in order to be accepted? Maybe you were just a good friend of Momodi and she often gives a friendly invite to drop on by for a drink or two sometime. *shrug*
But conflicting opinions/RP styles are always bound to be had. The best you can really do is just respect that everyone has their own style of play. You may meet once or twice, but once you realize how different your styles are, it's very doubtful you'll spend a whole lot of time interacting beyond that point, and after that, you're on your way again, playing out your own story with other like-minded individuals. Even still, everyone should respect another person's character rather than spit on them like that. We are all roleplayers who, I would assume, deeply appreciate the art and the creativity that can thrive from such pursuits. Just like in the real world, we have to acknowledge (as our characters) that people have walked very different paths. It may not be what we expect or can easily accept as "normal" depending on our own experiences, but even so, those different paths will inevitably intersect somewhere and show just how varied we are as a society.
And... I'm rambling.
