Have you checked into zoning issues ? Licenses ? Insurance ?

From your description, you may have already seen the good money out of the area. Or changes in the weather may effect your business. Nice weather, too much free stuff to do outside.

Alcohol isn't always the answer. They just don't hand out licenses anywhere. And cost is huge, along with setting up a good bar and increased insurance costs. Any of your group want to wrestle drunks ? Alcohol can be good and bad, it isn't a guarantee of success. Bars go broke too.

I wish you every success. Learn as much as you can. Experiment with what you have too.

Really study that one. Bars go broke too. And setting up a bar can be co$tly.

Too funny.

I get that all the time. And worse, several of the other places send these people to me for information.

And as you've already discovered. People that own their own games, aren't going to pay your rent. And you shouldn't waste any time going after them to build your customer base.

There is no guarantee in that. Bars go broke too.

Depending on your license and location, you may not have minors in there, even with parent. And not all people are into the "bar" scene. Especially non drinkers. They need places to go too.

It may help a business, it may hurt it. People running it really have to do their homework on what will work best for them.

Best wishes and success !
