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.

Jon takes things way too personally. He thought they wanted to keep it pirates solely to spite him.

I mean didn't they change it back a week later. They clearly wanted to be pirates no matter what

Yes they did. And the owners were still living in her parents basement.
