re: Anyone here started their own bar?

Another thing is they capped how many ounces of beer you were allowed to drink. If memory serves me right it was 40 or so.

That right there will kill the place in LA. Not saying everyone sets out to over drink here but the act of telling someone how many beers they are allowed, in South LA anyway, will earn you shite reviews with the quickness. NO WAY I would invest in that concept here.

BTW, for the guy that mentioned the BullDog's "absent" owner I have some news. A high level employee of that company was one of my research interviews. I bought her dinner off site and got some low down. The owner has every camera in every bar ported to her house where she sits and watches the bar locations nightly. In a creepy stalkerish way as a matter of fact. She also has cameras in the back and the Manager's office that she watches. I was in the BullDog on Perkins talking to this same manager when her cell phone rang and it was the owner informing her that a lightbulb over some of the taps had just gone out. Manager had to stop our conversation and go change it. FWIW, I believe the owner lives in MS and not CA. But either way, I wouldn't classify her as an "absentee" owner in that sense.
