Starting a tiny Brewpub/Craft Beer Bar

i'm involved. lol. this is a great idea. i'd love to do something like this in phx.

Hopefully getting your locally elected representatives involved helps push things to the finish line. Local community support is huge where I live and can be the reason new businesses get a chance to open or not.

I did want to share an idea about the TV/no TV debate that's been going on. Sounds like you are going with the TV option (that's what I'd do), but maybe you can hide/conceal it so that it's only the focal point when you want it to be. If it's above the bar, maybe cover it with a flag (Univ of Louisville, Kentucky state flag, etc) when you want it off, then raise or remove the flag during games.

You could offer games to your customers like chess, dice, dominoes, etc to keep them at the bar & entertained when you don't want them to focus on the TV.

 

How'd it go?

 

If you really believe, keep swinging and eventually you'll connect.

 

There's another here in Waltham MA that is similar, The Gaff.
They basically have a tiny couch area by the front window, a bar, and a couple tables along the wall, a kitchen that is smaller than my bathroom - the cook has enough room to turn around, and that's it. If it is 25 square feet wall to wall, I'd be surprised, and cramming in fridge, cooktops and prep area?

Anyways, Wade, it does sound like you do have some people that pull weight on your side. Here's hoping you can make this swing.

 

I take it as a bad sign that we haven't had any updates for a while. I am going to post this here anyway, because it seems to be the appropriate place to put it: http://www.odditycentral.com/pics/the-baobab-bar-tree.html

 

Got anything new for us interested bystanders Wade?
