re: You ave 11 taps to fill

BigJake, if I go to your daq shop and tell you I'm hulkklogan, can I get a free beer?

Dude, you're a local restaurant. You put your own blood, sweat and tears, not to mention money, into this. Why wouldn't you support local breweries who are doing the same thing as you? If you want people to eat local instead of at a chain, you're a hypocrite to fill your taps up with BMC products. Emphasize the eat local, drink local philosophy. There are plenty of local beers that will satisfy BMC drinkers, Canebrake, Tin Roof Blonde and Abita Amber to name 3. You've already committed to a Saint Arnold beer, so you could put on Fancy Lawnmower, Weedwacker or Santo and people would be happy. Not saying you have to have rare beers, just emphasize local beers.

I know, I'm a big fan of roast beef, but I hope it's out of a bag. I hate house prepped roast beef.

I said I personally don't get the love for Canebrake.

Canebrake is great for what it is. But if you read about it on here for months then try it, I can see why you might be underwhelmed.

Personally, I'll drink it all day at a tailgate party, at the beach, crawfish boil, etc. But at a bar/restaurant I am not likely to order it unless my only other choices are BMC, Tin Roof Blonde/Perfect Tin, Abita Amber, etc.

I'm going to give you my opinion on the place based on what you said. (i know everyone is dying to hear my opinion).

I don't believe a daiquiri bar is going to work in the long run. Like some said, a craft bar with daiquiri's don't work.
I'm not saying anything wrong towards those that drink Daiquiri's, but they generally aren't going after craft beer. They are the BMC crowd. Daq's are for generally consumed by women because their tastes are not complex. You either get fruity or chocolatey. Craft beer is incredibly complex.
Would you try to serve nice wine at a daq bar? They don't mix. If i am a patron, and i want a daq, i'm not going to chase it with a craft brew, because the daq taste lingers on the mouth much longer, therefore every subsequent beer you drink after that will taste off. Therefore, tasteless bland BMC is perfect.

And i don't think that your place, if it sells daq's and bmc is any different from any other bar. Why go through the gauntlet of college drive to have the exact same stuff you can get at ANY bar, whether it be daq cafe or reggie's.
You just aren't catering to an older crowd. I'm 31, and i have no desire to go to a daq bar. If you are a young college kid, you may want to try it out, but after a couple weeks the newness will wear off and its back to tigerland and the station.

If I own a bar, i would set it up like Pelican House is doing, or The Cove. Craft and specialty cocktails. Hell, even olive and twist has craft brews, good wine, and interesting cocktails. All of these "niche" bars are becoming popular now, because they are different. The Cove, Pelican House, Olive or Twist, Radio Bar, all sell quality beer, good cocktails and pretty good wine. They also are packed during the weekend.

Just my opinion. Again, good luck on your endeavor, and i wish you well.

This was my thinking all along, I plan on trying to help the guys at
Tin roof out as much as possible.

It's gonna be Nooley's@Gameday. We will operate out of the same space and provide great food, good beer and liquor selection, and nightlife.

Cash what would you like to see on tap at Nooleys. Jesus that's the question is it do hard to just answer a question?

I'd want to see...
