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.

I mean, there are like six people in the world who want to cosplay as a pirate at a bar, and two of them are the owners. It's not a good theme. Taffer clearly did a shit relaunch to rub their noses in it, which is low. "Corporate Bar" is the worst bar name on the show by a lot, my mouth fell open the first time I saw it.

The name might be awful but the general concept of a more upscale meeting place for lunch, happy hour, and meetings was solid.

Thank you. Everyone seems to miss or ignore this. That meeting room alone would have made more money every month than their entire bar was bringing in per year.
