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

      It's not hate.  It's reality.   Yall are for real in here defending the state of Carolina basketball, predicting top recruiting classes when nothing has changed 8 miles down the road where they've been kicking our ass in recruiting for YEARS, and banking that it's all fixed with these hires.  I hope you're right, unfortunately I think you're not. I've been to every Final Four Carolina has been in during my adult life.  I've been to both Panthers Super Bowls.  If the Hornets play in anything meaningful, I'll be there too.  I root for these teams to win harder than anyone, but I also call a spade a spade.  Charles Lee sucks but the talent is good, Belichick sucks and who knows where that goes, and Canales sucks and so does the talent on the Panthers. Go to the Hurricanes forum, I've never said a bad thing about that team because while they've fallen short the last several years, they aren't a bunch of dipshits doing dipshit things in games / during the season.   But y'all keep pounding your chests that OUR teams have arrived.  Can't even imagine the level of disappointment that comes with that.

      I don't find it unfair at all. Have you compared Coker's actual production to other second and third options in the league. Come on, man.  For the record, I am a proponent of the BPA. I don't care what position it is. Similarly, I am very much against reaching down over a superior player to get another one based on need. It's as simple as that.
