So, I am considering, for 100% selfish reasons ($$$$), moving my pool hall to a space 3 1/2 times the size of our current location. If I do this, I will HAVE to make it a bar instead of a family pool hall, or it will fail.
So, as I contemplate the pros and cons of REAL bar ownership, the Break-n-Run Billiards Potential Conversion Virtual Bar is now open for business!!
Pours 10 shots of Goldschlager, wipes down the bar, and throws back the first one.

Hmmm, I've closed a few bars in my day, but I don't know anything about opening one.

::Fills the horse trough (clean, of course) with the best margarita in town and hands Li'l Freak a straw:: Frogster, it isn't everything, but losing much of it is a bad, bad thing. Also, I've always wanted to have a 1st class pool hall.

Sweet. Sounds like fun! Good Luck in your endeavors. I might just have to make a road trip to check it out. Used to visit the pool hall quite a bit in my youth.

Will you have income and insurance from another household member?

Well, just keep in mind...money isn't everything. My daddy used to tell me that when we would discuss the man that I'd marry. He would always go on to say "...but it's so far ahead of what ever's in second place." And I married for love ...but I digress. Would be great if you had a good day manager so you could stay at the bank until the new place takes off. Not a lot of people play pool during the day anyway, do they? Either way, I wish you the best of luck. My invitation to come play carries over to the new place, doesn't it? Oh, and can I have a twisty straw so's I can share Freak's trough o'margaritas? It's HOT here today!!!

Considering there are places like Chili's restaurants nearby, I would bet there's no reason you couldn't open as a bar and still have a portion that's for families/underage. I hope this works out for you; sounds like a fun place to hang out!

Becky, I think there has to be a percentage of food-based income for that to work. That's one of the things I'm looking into. EE, "poor" you is right!! ::PoUrs EE a baby Guiness:: Kahlua on the bottom and Bailey's on top....delicious!
