No fricking way he reports even half of that. And that was just 1 night and just the cover/door charges.



They definitely don't report 100%, but you'd probably be surprised how much they do report. The states aren't stupid, they know how much these guys are making, and they'll hit them with an audit with quickness if the numbers don't at least kind of add up.

This is what Fred’s has become. They are a machine that prints money.

That’s because Fred’s is the best college bar in BR.

now that i think about it, bogie's was definitely slowing down a bit by 2016/17 compared to 2014 or so.

thursday nights were always packed though.

Sure, but the audit can't cover how many people paid cover each night in cash. They don't track it at all.

The drinks and tabs, I'm betting he reports probably 100% of. The door charges are another story.

To be fair, I've never heard of the owner doing illegal shite, but there's just no way he reports all of that. It is untraceable.

I have a few friends with siblings/cousins still in school, they all say it is not the frat hub it used to be. Sounds like this year was especially thin on crowds, etc.

Which is why door guys steal a lot.

They can use statistical methods and hit you with an assessment based on the results.

And if they're smart they'll track it because if they can't prove it they lose.

I have known the Fraioli's daughter most of my life and I think they're good people, at least from my interaction. She definitely is. So I'm happy they're doing well.

I'm guessing the frats who frequented bogies are the ones kicked off campus.

Deep state conspiracy theory: LSU Greek life is behind all of this and trying to shut down or isolate fraternity drinking.

I feel this way about all of the tigerland bars.


shite, you think Tigerland is bad when it comes to doing nefarious shite with cash, Darrin from Brightside is one of the crookedest sons of bitches I’ve ever known. How that place wasn’t shut down years and years ago with him running it is incredible to me.

With the bar that much in arrears, I’m surprised their liquor license didn’t get pulled.

The state tends to use licenses for alcohol, tobacco, and/or lottery as a lever to get businesses to pay in a timely fashion.

The state basically extorts places too.

See Chelsea's.
