ADAAG is applicable to places of public accomodation.
There's a definition in the document.

Here is what I found to share:
"Place of public accommodation means a facility, operated by a private entity, whose operations affect commerce and fall within at least one of the following categories --
(1) An inn, hotel, motel, or other place of lodging, except for an establishment located within a building that contains not more than five rooms for rent or hire and that is actually occupied by the proprietor of the establishment as the residence of the proprietor;
(2) A restaurant, bar, or other establishment serving food or drink;
(3) A motion picture house, theater, concert hall, stadium, or other place of exhibition or entertainment;
(4) An auditorium, convention center, lecture hall, or other place of public gathering;
(5) A bakery, grocery store, clothing store, hardware store, shopping center, or other sales or rental establishment;
(6) A laundromat, dry-cleaner, bank, barber shop, beauty shop, travel service, shoe repair service, funeral parlor, gas station, office of an accountant or lawyer, pharmacy, insurance office, professional office of a health care provider, hospital, or other service establishment;
(7) A terminal, depot, or other station used forspecified public transportation;
(8) A museum, library, gallery, or other place of public display or collection;

When deciding where accessible facility will be applied, consider the opposite question..."where will you exclude or discriminate against a disabled person ?"
This may sound harsh, but it is the reality and intent of the ADA. I had an occasion to hire a ADA consultant to arm myself with all the reasons I need not (logically) provide access in a given situation. Upon arriving at his office, he opened the door sitting in a wheel chair. The conversation went down hill from there, as he proceeded to enlighten me.
