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.

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'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?

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 ;)

My dad owned 22 different bars in his lifetime. He loved the business and hated it. Good luck.

the restaurant business is one of the toughest to work in... owning and managing a restaurant isn't as easy as it sounds i'm sure you could have it up and running in three months but would you want that many people swamping your establishment without putting your staff and kitchen through a few test runs i dunno about that one... it would take you atleast 3 months just to get all the bugs out... finding good cooks, getting all the permits, hiring a compitent staff...
anyway good luck with your future ventures

restaurants / bars... 90% fail in the first 2 years. Kiss your life good bye, very long hours. 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.

brand0n all of the sudden we have 20 plus restaraunt experts on GFY giving their fucking 2 cents. It's your money, and if you think you can work it out then go for it.
Fucking people think they are experts on everything...and not one has answered the original question on whether they have owned a bar. Just throwing out stats and what they have heard or think. Go for it dude...you only live once. Do your own research and go full steam ahead. I'm buying a condo in Northern Myrtle Beach sometime this summer and I'll become a regular. |

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. ![]()

hey man, i was thinking of you when i read this thread. I know you know first hand as well. I bet you don't miss it ![]() 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???

No shit, his adivce is exactly what not to do. " If it feels good, do it " worry about the results later. Chad, your friend is an exception to the rule. For every 5 people like him there really is 95 people who have failed. These figures are documented, i am sure you can find something on a small business website or something that keeps track of success/fail for that industry. And MOST people who start rest. bar have experience in them and still fail. I'm just saying why try when it is proven the success rate is so bad and you have no idea what you are doing in the first place. Diversifing your income is great, but I can think of 1000000 other things (non adult/internet) that are more secure investments then this.

No offense, but there are a Gazillion bar/grills in myrtle beach already.
Unless you have some really unique idea and tons of money to put behind it, I don't see it being worth it. And if you have never been in the restaraunt biz before, you are in for a real shock. ![]() |

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... |

Ok, normally you have like a 5% chance of making it, your odds with that comment above and the other comment that you and your partner have no experience now adjust your odds of making it to: .05%
