I think everybody in Columbus probably saw this coming but the guy is a veteran and tried something new, guess we can’t judge too hard, feel sorry for the guy to be honest |

Dry bars only work when you charge a large cover, provide entertainment and allow patrons to bring their own booze.

The reason why alcohol is so important to the social experience in a bar is because it makes it easier for people to relax and socialize. That's why the idea of an alcohol-free bar is absolutely moronic. You might as well go to church to try to get some ass at that point.

Maybe he should open up a restaurant that doesn't serve food next, or a movie theatre that doesn't play movies.

For his next trick, he will open a used car dealership that only sells bicycles. The cars on the lot are just for show.

Maybe I'm not familiar with the concept of a "dry bar", but might one just open a good restaurant without a liquor license? You can even eat at the "bar", if you want.

Outside of the Mormon corridor in Idaho, Utah, and Nevada, a dry bar is a really bad idea. The whole point of a bar is to consume some liquid courage in order to tolerate social interaction.

While not a good business idea, it’s an interesting thing.
I could see it working if you had like a 15-17 year old night, and an 18+ night. And didn’t let pervy adults in those nights. Just somewhere for kids to go and dance and hang out. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: So who gets to pay back that big business development loan that he's about to default on? If it’s an sba loan, it’s personally guaranteed. If he files personal bankruptcy, fee taxpayers. If it’s a standard bank loan, bank eats it. Loans for this mostly cover capital expenditures, so they can sell the equipment and recoup most of it. |

This is why beer/wine exist and why the term "buzzed" exists. There is a clear-cut difference between having two beers and having several shots of bourbon, lol. |

The only "juice bars" that I have ever heard of are BYOB strip joints, or "kava bars" that make you frozen drinks loaded with whatever drugs are legal, or arguably legal, at the time.

Sounds like the old milk bars where you could go get sodas, milkshakes, etc at a bar, there were jukeboxes and music, socializing, maybe some dancing, etc., and in which youths would often hang out since they couldn't go to a bar that served alcohol. |

You MIGHT be able to make an alcohol free "bar" work if you recruit an army of slutty hippie chicks and are in a recreational cannabis state. Entertainment, grub, beverages galore.
Insurnace and security would likely be a nightmare though. |
