yeah but, theres so many stupid laws. in order to obtain a full liquor license, you need to have provisions (food) prepared on premise.

hookah bars are even harder to open, you need to obtain another license that alows smoking, not to mention and expensive ass air circulation system.

people get charged anywhere from 15-25 for a hookah head.... if you import the hookahs [which i can do ] theyre not expensive... youd make a killing...

but you write it off against future income... start up costs besides circulation and the smoke license are nothing

you say nothing, but it might take 6 months to get a license. which means 6 months of paying rent with no income

[F87LUV]

6 months? honestly i havent done research but i do know, all you need a hook up and that wait is gone

IDK... wine/beer with "finger" foods that compliment that particular drink sounds good to me.

a place where people and unwind and enjoy themselves after work, and a place where someone will bring a date and enjoy themselves on the weekend.

sometimes you wanna go where someone knows your naaaamme....da da da ta.

its a hassle, everything has good and bad points, but this is what i really want, and slowly but surely i will make it happen.

[nyalpine90]

the most difficult thing is find a good central spot where any1 can go...the right size ..sometime the places that are good to hang out are too small..

[F87LUV]

but unless the rent is real low... if youre so restricted, id move on

its a catch 22.

small places full up quick with a few number of people. this makes the place look like its "happening" and busy.

larger place with the same amount of people, place looks "slow" and "dead", people move on to smaller place.
