i used to leave other bars to go to 1863 specifically to use the bathroom. I bought a drink a few times on those bathroom runs.

the things pay for themselves

Make it BYOB and just rent out seats/tables and sell food.

Buy out an existing bar and just change the menu

There was this whole discussion in some other thread about MHK limiting new liquor licenses, not sure id that became reality or not.. But the thought was that the most efficient way to get one was but an existing place.

name the last small to medium sized themed aggieville restaurant with nice restrooms that failed? you can't. sorry.

I think an unusual food genre of any kind would do well in Aggieville, if done well.

Indian food British themed pub would be cool

Pete · « **Reply #93 on:** June 23, 2013, 03:26:16 PM »

Oh, oh, oh....

Make it a Gastro Pub that features foods from genres of former British colonies! Rick gets his jerk chickens and rice peas and I get my veggie pakora and chicken tikka masala with nann

it is so cavalier for you guys to think this would be easy. maybe you should contact the guys at pig and finch and see if they would be interested in expanding their brand.

I'm glad you agree. It would feature wines from the greatest non-french wine regions on earth.

It's really not that different than what you find in pubs in London...loads of curries and other Caribbean influences, but for this concept, I'll really hammer on the most exotic elements.

Then, you throw in the obligatory fish & chips and maybe a meat pie and your done.
