Testing The Waters
Hi gang. I have an idea I want to run by you all.
I want to start a bar that has drinks sort of like Easyways. Of course we’ll still sell beer and shit like that, but there will also be drinks that are similar to the following:
- Taro and Baileys milk tea with pearls
- Honeydew and Vodka with aloe vera
- Margarita blended ice with coconut jelly
- Lemon and gin and tonic with lychee jelly
- Cocktail puddings with pearls
Music:
I will approve it. Shit like indie rock, prog, good hip hop, downbeat, indie pop, gothic folk, funk, soul, old electro, 80's new wave and other shit that takes my fancy.
I'll have music wanker DJs like Dave Mack playing rekkids for the kids.
Staff:
Looks not really a factor. Friendliness is the key. People who are relaxed and want to go that extra mile for the customer.
Bouncers:
Keep out punks, creepy old people and metros. Everyone else is welcome and greeted with a smile.
Cost:
Depends on the location I suppose. Beer prices will be around the $6 mark, although I may have some fancier, importer options that will go for a bit more.
The special Easyways-esque drinks will probably go for around $8 to cover costs. Not sure how much they actually cost to manufacture… I'll probably offer non-alcoholic versions too which will be direct rip-offs of Easyways.
Don’t think I’ll charge a cover charge.
My question (for you): Would you attend my establishment? I'm guessing 'no' but you never know...
