Not only do they want the option of drinking something besides BMC, they want the option of drinking many different craft beers

I get what you're saying there; just doesn't apply to me and thus doesn't shape my outlook because I don't really enjoy drinking beer with a meal outside of tailgating or a boil. I will always choose better food over better beer selection if I'm going somewhere based on hunger instead of thirst.

I replied to you mistakenly before. Apologies fine sir.

To go into more detail with the question, it's for a bar with daiquiri machines that's adding a full food menu.
Just go with the BMC if its a daiquiri bar. You have to sell to the clientele, and your clientele wont like craft beer. Put Fancy Lawnmower on there from St Arnold, and Tin Roof Blonde on for Tin Roof.
1. Bud
2. Bud Light
3. Coors Light
4. Miller Lite
5. Mich Ultra
6. SA Fancy Lawnmower
7. Tin Roof Blonde
8. Coors Banquet
9. Purple Haze
10. Abita Amber
11. Blue Moon

Rouge you're a moron me thinks
just calling it like i see it. i see no hook. nothing that seperates your little "sammich" shop for the dozen other options in the area
your business is one of the more competitive out there. better have a way to get people in the door, or the place is doomed. show me the hook. prove me wrong.

Correct, you're either a bar with food, or a restaurant that serves beer.
If you are bar with food, then cater to them. Especially if it is "simple" bar food, then you would stick with BMC. They will appreciate their own element and the services they are used to. If you have a more sophisticated menu, then you could focus more on crafts. This is a different clientele, wanting a "calmer" atmosphere.
You can't be all things to all people. You need to consider, what is your best chance for success in your particular location.

No, but if I'm going out for dinner and I know place A has a few local beers on tap and place B doesn't, it might help me choose place A. Assuming the food is comparable.
exact reason I go to Burgersmith over Fat Cow
reason I go to Red Zeppelin over Oscars

This is a fact. Places would be a lot better off if they realize this.

I'm not familiar with BR, but location may have something to do with it...outside of that I can only tell you how a lot of great places differentiate themselves in the Houston and outlying suburbs---they have good craft beers on tap, they do tap takeover nights with local texas brewereis coming in and having several of their offerings on tap including specialty ones...places like guru burger in sugar land come to mind. their food is pretty good but I go there because they have a great selection on tap and it is constantly rotating so they will have stuff nobody else has

Went to the Flying Saucer out there a few weeks back... liked the place a lot, probably better than the downtown location. Tried both of the Fort Bend Brewing beers too, not a bad start at all.

If I was running a bar
Bud Lite
Miller Light
Bud
Coors
Michelob Ultra
Fosters
Blue Moon
Guinness
Shiner Bock
Rotate two Abita's in the last two just to keep the locals happy

The hook is we are bringing an old known name and food back to BR. My dad had 4 sandwich shops in town for 16 years. I stated who I was earlier in the thread. You, I guess aren't from Baton Rouge. Our food is better than good. Our reputation is top notch and there is 13 years of nostalgia for just about anyone over 30 that grew up around baton rouge. I have a location in prairieville off the beaten path that's doing quite well.
Having one smack in the middle of baton rouge should keep us above water for a little while.

nice...that isa great flying saucer. they have knowlegable servers as well...I have had the thunder stout on tap but not the IPA yet from Fort Bend. I'll have to find it somewhere...they are just getting started.

I think I remember a thread about y'all's RB poboy once on here. I could be think if something else.

You can't be all things to all people, but the idea in business is to attract as wide a variety as you can.
Old people eating early bird meals, then middle aged crowd, then younger professionals for a late dinner drinking waiting for a band to hit the stage.
We can be those things with a few craft beers thrown in to get a few more butts in the seats

They had the IPA on cask when I was there... it was solid, nothing amazing but it didn't turn me off at all. Closer to Hopitoulas or Hopadillo than Jockamo in that regard.

Good thing I'm not asking you to invest money right.
You assume a great deal in making a judgement. Come by and try us when we open. Then maybe you can make an educated assessment.
