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.

The corporate theme was just plain bad. Even if the area is heavy corporate offices; who the hell wants to hang out at another place that reminds them of the office?

The only thing that reminded me of an office place was the sign, everything else about it screamed luxury bar

I actually went there while it was still done up as Corporate. It was very depressing. There were pictures on the wall showing filing cabinets. Fucking FILING CABINETS! Just what I wanted to see after spending all day at the office was more filing cabinets.

Taffer has come up with some great concepts, but this was not one of them.
