It looks like a new sucker is moving into The Bandit/The Levee/Shady’s

Said every first time bar owner-

Just because the last five (six, eight) tenants didn't make it there doesn't mean I won't, my concept is unique.

well yea that didnt apply for wine. no wonder they keep failing.

Make it an all black club.

Stop trying to make that place a bar.

They've had some incredibly incompetent and irresponsible people try to make a bar there.

I think one can succeed, but it has to have a better business model and they need to change the layout on the inside.

I think something like this would work:
- Really good, but cheap bar food that serves until late both inside and outside a window to the street (think F&Ms)

- Has a new centralized, round bar on the inside with lots of TVs

- Great happy hour discount for students (free drinks for 2 hours or whatever)

- Small footprint stage with decent live music on off nights, DJ on big nights


ETA:

and most importantly, have an owner that doesn't constantly break the law and/or get high on his own supply and give free drinks to everyone he knows

And "Dead Poet's Saloon" is a horrific name. They need to stick with the 1-name standard.

They seem to be the longest lasting restaurant at the old Cou-Yon's Southgate location which has gone through 3 previous tenants ( I thin)

Leroy's still lasted longer, although not by much.

I've always thought that location would kill as a 24-hour breakfast diner.

Sounds like somewhere that hipsters would congregate...someone tell these guys that The Cove, Radio Bar, and the Spanish Moon already have the corner on the market?

Bars are trashy
