Please name the place "sup bro?"

[tuq]

guids,

Do you know the history of the location you may have? Some places could be a hundred feet from a great site but because of various factors (primarily ease of access I would guess) turn over time and again. Don't be the next sucker.

Agree with poster above but since you're involved I like "teh sup bro" better.

Have a good beer selection

The location isnt great, like I siad, but the guy who owns the building just put in a place across the street, fairly high end in a not so great neighborhood, hoping to start revitalizing the hood, he owns most of the couple of blocks he wants to get up and going again. I think with his place across teh street, make my place a sports bar it might work out. but the cost is so low, that I could pay for the biz, and a couple years lease before we open up, out of pocket, so gambling on the revival of the area would almost be worth it.


Ideas I have had so far:

Spy Bar(similar to teh one in chicago). High end, "techy" bar, huge neon sign of the spy vs spy guys, and a scrolling digital sign announcing Dj's specials etc.

"havent thought of a non-gay name yet"- but a restuarant for men, cheap chilli, huge steaks, scantily clad women, bush beer in cans, if the superfans opened up thier own bar

make sure this guy isn't trying to flip his property.

when people start owning blocks, it pays off highly to manipulate property values, then sell off for a condominium.

not sure if st. louis has gone through it, but in Atlanta all sorts of bars were closed down pronto and condo's put up.

can you buy into his ownership?

[guids]

He doesnt want to get rid of the property, or else I already probably would have bought it from him, he actually offered the place next door to his current bar, that I could buy (its a bakery now), and combine the two places into one, but i would rather own my own place. This isnt really an area where condos would do well.

[siccjay]

Did he mean that you could connect the two bars? (as long as his is thriving) That seems like a good idea.

[Aces McGee]

Good luck, man. Owning a bar is one of those things I've always wanted to do, but probably never will. I'll probably be better off for it, but I have higher hopes for you.

I always thought "The Alibi" was a great name for a bar.
