This is the first idea in a while that may actually survive at that location. Bleachers couldn't have had more than 5 customers since they opened. I'm shocked they lasted as long as they did.
Before that when it was Mahoney's they seemed to do ok for that location. There was never a time that it was completely dead, granted there was never a time besides football games that it was packed to the gills.
ETA: It has been at least 4-5 different spots in the last 6 or so years.

I think the property owner basically forced Mahoney's out to do his own bar (Bleachers).

Yep. Nothing has survived there, which to me means there has to be another reason beside just having shitty businesses. I'd imagine the rent in that locale ain't cheap and it takes a LOT of business to be profitable. Still, it seems like it should be a great location for bars and restaurants. Campus on one side and several apartment buildings on the other. Hell, less than 100 yards away you have one of, if not the most popular restaurant on (near) campus.
Clearly it isn't going to work as a bar. A pizza place tried their craft their once before and flamed out. Maybe selling by the slice works. Pizza is pretty cheap (if you don't get too pretentious), so the margins could be decent. And you would think some drunk kids leaving the Varsity might be inclined to get a slice.
Others can provide more info than me, but it's always been a mystery to me why nothing seems to survive on that street

I went probably once every week or two for lunch because they had a burger special that was outstanding. If the people who made those burgers opened a burger joint in town, they would kill it.
