so i've been thinking about opening a bar/club here in oakland for a while now and yesterday i was offered what i would consider the ideal venue.
the club has been at the current place for 25 years, comes with full inventory, liquor license, venue license, got a large outside patio where people can smoke & drink, full bar, full kitchen (!), large stage for shows. about 3000 sf of inside space. the current owner has simply been burned out and wants to retire. now i have run my own bar back in germany and i'm friends with several club owners back home, so i know the business side of it, but it would be great if i could pick someone's brain who has run a bar/club here in the US. i'm sure there'll be quite a few differences. if you know anything about the club/bar business, please PM me so i can annoy you with lots of questions!

if you ever need some entertainment for it, let me know.
I love to play drums live, and im sure i could arrange a band to play for you! good luck thought with the biz andy. A club would be pretty cool, and it seems like you know some of the details about clubs already |
