anyone thought about opening a bar before?

i've done assloads of research and i'm seriously considering taking the leap. my current job has soured considerably for a couple of reasons and my income has been cut squarely in half because of it, and i'm looking at alternatives. opening my own place is one of them.

i've debated a couple of options. one is to simply not deal with liquor and just go for broke on craft beers and keep a decent wine selection. another is to move a lot of food but simplify the menu to cut down on supply costs and cater to a specific demographic of bar-goers (a potato skins and chicken fingers bar food crowd rather than a caviar crowd.

greensboro is booming and has a serious lack in good panthers sports bars. i wouldn't make it exclusively a sports bar but i don't think i'd have a problem drawing a crowd on sundays. i've been to countless kickass little bars in other countries that would blow the competition away here that are inspiring me.

rent for a halfway decent spot here is ~15/sqft/year, which is pretty damn decent. startup costs can be minimized if you know what you're doing.

I'd name my bar "straight up 77". It would be right off 77 and only serve straight hard liquor. No mixed drinks. Also, I'd hire hot women to bartend and make sure they are super condescending and insulting to everyone. Let's do this.

dicks last resort already beat you to it

What?!?!

i think it's in boston. bunch of hot-ass bartenders greet you at the door like HEY fugER WHAT THE fug DO YOU WANT and then the staff freaks out and calls you a fuging ***** no matter what you order and insult every time they come to your table. the bartenders make fun of you mercilessly. it's probably the type of place you only go to once just for the novelty value

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
