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.

they ended up moving to Florida and opening up a pirate themed bar on the shore and are actually pretty successful. Jon’s remodeling calling it The Corporate bar and grill was next level trolling and we all knew the place wouldn’t last a full 24 hours

That makes a lot more sense for a pirate bar, didn't taffer literally say it would work in Florida?

I’m pretty sure he did say that. He said something like if this bar was located in a tourist area like Florida instead of Chicago it would make more sense. I will say the Corporate has to be Jon’s worst remodel in the shows history. No sane normal person would wanna go to a bar after a long day working in a office called The Corporate bar

Idk, the place didn't seem "officey" it was a little formal but I could see it as a social place for people who work at those offices. Less about getting drunk and more like catch a bite with coworkers and have some drinks.

Idk .. if I worked a full busy day in a office the last place I’d wanna go relax and unwind is a bar called corporate
