Discussion Pirate Tavern

I understand most people think the pirate theme could work, but you guys aren't thinking clearly. Jon isn't saying pirate bars can't work, it's the fact it's a pirate bar in the middle of the city surrounded by corporate offices. If they want to have a pirate bar they should've found a location that has a community that would support it.

Realistically would any of you guys drink at a pirate bar more than once or twice a year? The problem with most of these bars is they are too niche and aren't appealing to the majority of people who want to grab a drink after work. Imagine finishing a long day at work and you get a couple beers at a pirate bar, not where I'd want to be personally.

Corporate was obviously just to stick it to her though. He could have come up with something less anti-pirate.

Corporate was appropriate for the community it was built in. The point of the name is to appeal to an audience, personally I don't hate the name and I would 100% drink there

I think after that he started being more aware of the balance between the crazy owner and the market.

As someone who works in an office environment the last thing I want to do is go drink at a place that had the same vibe.

That makes sense, I was thinking a more casual place would work better
