Ok, all sentimental [censored] aside, its time for me to grow teh [censored] up, Im done with school, I have been treading water for teh last 2 years or so not knowing what I want to do, well, not wanting to take the risk when I was 22 years old, but now its go time. Im taking a short vacation from work, from everything basically until I get back from chicago, Ill be back in st. louis on jan 9. I am going to take the plunge throw a years worth of work into finding a bar, with a small kitchen, and Im opening up my own place. Ive learned enough over the last couple years, made enough connections, and will have enough cash to float me by the time Im ready. Im going to be a one man wrecking crew making as much cash as possible, and soaking in as much knowledge and do as much planning as possible, no drinking, no girls (well maybe a few), no drugs, just pure unadulterated hustling. Any time any of you guys are in town, stop by, Ill get you the address january of 2008.

thats a great idea, Im going to work on a menu and the more ideas the better, Im going to steal a bunch of great things, from various places around teh country and make them my own. this really all depends on what kind of locale we find etc, my ideal would be a nice traditional italian menu, homeade salsissa and peppers, good seafood and pasta, and a show. Id LOVE to open up a sit down dinner place where I could bring in class acts, piano men, crooner-types, dancing girls, and have a show a couple nights a week in one section, and then in another section something less formal so people can get good cocktails, where the bartenders are in white coats and bow ties. If I start with a smaller place, with less startup, Im going to go more gimicky, have a "heart attack burger" like that one joint, something similar to white castles as one fo the apps etc. One thing I saw was teh 3-D/hologram rat pack show, it was on tv, I dont know if it is real or not, but Id like to bring that here.

PS, Ill probably be bumping this thread over the next year for advice as you guys are my target clientele, but if anyone has any good ideas or sees something at a bar that is really cool and different, please let me know. It doesnt have to be major things either, as an example, there is a bar in chicago, bourdeax's, that has highball glasses on each table filled with bazooka joe, I thought that was an awesome idea, so I wrote it down.

Guids, a designated "bottle-tossing" room. Patrons pay $1 to chuck an empty bottle against a wall in the designated room.
