    im kicking round the idea of openin a bar/grill here in myrtle beach

    found a spot.. its a great location.. needs a shit ton of fucking work before we could start...

    got the 1st of 3 bike weeks comming in may.. figure we could be up/running by then in full swing and get in on some of that biker action.

    anyone here own/run a bar?

    id love to hear some of the trials and all thats involved and what not..
    want to buy this spot for cheap? it is of course for sale. long term deals are always the best bet. brand0n/ at/ a o l dot commies.

          There is no way in hell you could get it up before May. Soo many permits, inspections, Liquor Licenses, fire inspections, parking, disability ramps, the whole 9 yards haha.. Remember you are dealing with government agencies, they dont move fast.

              im being told that we can have all the licenses taken care of in 6 weeks.. so long as we pass the inspection.

              ofcourse, im being told this buy a gov agency...

              The place we are looking at was a bar all ready.. the owner was doing good with the place.. just stuffed so much blow down his face that it pretty much killed him (ok, in fairness to the dead, the blow didnt kill him, a bike wreck did, but im sure the blow didnt help)

                  I'm pretty sure you can open a business in 3 months lol. Only one that might take some time is liquor and I don't think that's a 3 month dealio.

                              I'd love to open a bar in Glasgow. Unfortunately I wouldn't be allowed. Most of the bars and clubs are owned by gangsters or drug dealers. It would be near impossible to make it successful without them doing something I think.

                                  if you looking to open up and right away have a shit load of bikers, that may be a bad move, you would want to be open and get the feel before you get a crowded pit stop....

                                  have you had experience in the line of biz already? If not do you have a right hand that has?

                                      nope.. 1st run for me + my partner


                                      and see.. here in myrtle beach, 3 times a year we have "bike week" the biggest is in may.. draws some 300k bikers here.. its pretty much fuckin nuts.. they over run everything in town.. traffic, hotels, resteraunts, bars, the full 9.

                                      so honestly.. no.. i am not gearing up to open a biker bar.. but yes.. if possible id like to grab some biker traffic while they are here.

                                      one of the reasons we host these bike weeks is the amount of $ these guys have. pretty much you are a doctor trying to be a biker.. so you are loaded.. or you are true to life biker.. building bikes and what not.. loaded.. or your a drug dealing biker.. loaded..
                                      so they are pretty much loaded heh.

                                                  Well the money is great, but like you said, they come, they take over ;) if your BRAND NEW to restauranting/booze......its heavy, its a task....great that the place is already established, that a big chunk out of the way, but im talking managment and maintaining....how will you handle, how will your employees handle, how will you handle each other....my biggest point is weeding out who works well and who can handle a shit load of bikers ;) you dont want a packed joint and have one floozie bag whore, one chick with no charisma and then some other chick or dude that cant handle it.....and you runnin around trying to string the seems together..... ... im just saying, if you do get it up and running and you have a biker week within the month that you open, hold on to your balls, it will be a bumpy ride ;)

I'm sure the alcohol is the main attraction with food coming in a distant second. The drinks are where you're going to make all of your money at and what hundreds of bikers are going to be stopping in for. I'm sure the food can be worked around for a bit.

If you are not there working 14 - 18 hours days they will steal from you till you have nothing left. I would never suggest to anyone to invest into a bar / restaurant, especially if the person hasn't worked in the industry for a long period of time. I have lots of experience in the industry from bartender - manager - part owner.

He rents a building, puts in something to attract clients (pool league, poker tourneys, whatever), and pretty much turns a profit from month 2. Soon as he sets one up he rents another building and starts over. Everyone must try too hard.

I'm sure the alcohol is the main attraction with food coming in a distant second. The drinks are where you're going to make all of your money at and what hundreds of bikers are going to be stopping in for. I'm sure the food can be worked around for a bit.

You hardly make shit on food anyhow and bikers aren't coming in for your fine cuisine. They are coming because every other place in town is slam packed and they want a beer.

I'm sure the alcohol is the main attraction with food coming in a distant second. The drinks are where you're going to make all of your money at and what hundreds of bikers are going to be stopping in for. I'm sure the food can be worked around for a bit.

                                                                                                                          bars are also a lot harder to keep control of theft. If you dont have a strict policy in place to track your sales, liquor use, you will be out of business before you get started. You still have a lot to work out on the bar side as well.

                                                                                                                          I am not a negative person, but my comments here will sound negative. I don't care if you are the most successful person online, you are stepping into a whole new world here. You said 2 things that scream to me "don't do it". 1. It will cost a shit load to get it setup and going. Don't know what shit load is to you, but lets use 50K. You can't even call that an investment, because if/when you fail and walk away, you walk away, you wont recoupe that it. 2. Which is the most important thing saying don't do it " this is new to me and my partner". Get you feet wet first. If you want to spend all that money (and the upfront cost is nothing compared to what you will be shelling out in initial inventory and pay roll before you even dream of turning profit) then you should learn the trade before you try to own the business. You will own something that you know nothing about and most likely the people you hire will be experienced in this field and that will work against you. they will know you are green and will know how to cheat the system. It amazes me how people want to jump into this and throw around serious money. The smart thing to do is go get a job as a bartended for couple months, maybe even manage a place, learn the ins and outs before you money is involved. If you have to learn as you go in the restaurant /bar industry as you go, you wont be going very long.

                                                                                                                                          you couldn't pay me 6 figures to go manage a place for someone. If you have any chance in hell to make it your LIFE becomes the business, so everything else (family, other sources of income, etc..) suffer... so you take all of that money, and risk eveything i just mentioned for a 5% chace of sucess???

Only one that might take some time is liquor and I don't think that's a 3 month dealio.

He rents a building, puts in something to attract clients (pool league, poker tourneys, whatever), and pretty much turns a profit from month 2. Soon as he sets one up he rents another building and starts over. Everyone must try too hard.

Everyone thinks it would be cool to own a bar, your fucking staff owns your ass, like in any cash business.

He also doesn't live in rich town where it costs $5 to take a piss and 2 million to open a bar. A bar = a building, a few pool tables, a few gambling machines, and fucking alcohol. It's not rocket science and I didn't say a "night club" or wtf ever you're talking about. Stick to porn.

                                                                                                                                                                                          He hasn't a clue what he is talking about when he says there isn't any profit on food either.

                                                                                                                                                                                          That apart, the main risk of this biker trade, any seasonal or occasional spikes for that matter, is that for all they put into the cash register when they happen, they also have the potential to damage the business badly for the rest of the time. Regulars don't appreciate being sidelined every time it suits the owner.

                                                                                                                                                                                          One solution might be not to rely on regulars at all, but whether that is feasible in this case, I have no way to know...

It's more like 5 super intelligent people who did it exactly right, and 95 that couldn't get it done. I have seen some "stupid people" open up some really bad restaurants, that didnt have a chance before it even opened, then I have seen some brillant ideas not make it. There are soooo many reasons that it might not make it. Could be one thing wrong that kills the whole thing, for example everything could be perfect but if you are starting off with too little capitol, or keep bad books, don't understand how to advertise, bad management, or you in a bad location, etc.... one thing wrong can kill the whole business.
