[Rhodes22-list] Favorite Pubs

[Todd Tavares]

 Rummy,

Good luck with you new adventure!  But I always thought the three most
important factors for the success of a bar are Libation, Libation,
Libation. :^D  (Sorry...I couldn't resist)

  Rummy, I have been supplying beer to St. Louis area bars for the
  last 18 years and will reiterate the the 3 most important factors
  for the success of a bar (Location, Location, Location). Find out
  who suppled the Drop Anchor with booze and beer. Call the
  wholesaler and see if they will give you a sales history on that
  location. You would not believe how many locations are a 1-3 year
  death sentance. When one business goes out of business and another
  opens at the same location we just change the last digit of their
  account number up on digit. Every new customer is dissorganized,
  over extended on credit and assured of their eventual success. As
  I set up a new account with a number like #####9 I feel like
  calling the poor bastard and tell him to quit while he is only a
  little behind. Another factor that completely determines the
  success/failure is whether the owner is going to be present 100% of
  the time. Absentee owners get robbed blind even by their best
  friend, brothers
  , children, mother ( I have seen it all ). If you survive these
  two hurdles you got as good a shot at doing as well as any of the
  other places in the area. We have 2 bars in the city which provide
  the owners with 100 - 200k incomes. I attached our customer list
  incase there is a name there you like.
  Names that spring to mind

  Nemos
  gunkhole cafe
  Castaways
  Davey Jones Locker
  The Office (we have one of these - I wonder how many wives have been
  fooled)
  Crusty Burger

  Good luck, I did not mean to discourage you and would be happy to
  lend my experience if you have any questions.
