Opening a Lounge/Club

[floridaorange]

Anyone here ever seriously considered opening a small venue of some kind with quality house music and good drinks? Or if you currently do own one or run one and don't feel like posting about it here, please pm me. I'm meeting with a guy this week who has opened and sold several to discuss some things, but I wanted to check in with my ms peeps too.

@ Rave Lizard I can't see your posts, I don't know why but you are stuck on ignore mode, will have to look into that.

Re:

I haven't opened my own venue but I've been doing promotions for over twenty years. Just remember, at the end of the day it is a business (that word makes me cringe BTW). So, if you want it to succeed, you definitely need to have a model/ structure in place & expand upon that idea.

wow - 20 years promoting, no kidding! ya, it would very much be for business purposes, if it wasn't profitable I wouldn't go near it. Just kind of bouncing around some ideas now, but I still need to meet with this guy who has opened and sold several and made good $ doing so.

You could Invites to José Padilla to play,
but I think that micko could be cheaper,

My direction is to go more toward 'One-Off' events. That way, you don't have to concern yourself with a liquor license (byob), certificate of occupancy, or building inspections.

Re: Opening a Lounge/Club

according to my friend who is introducing me to the club owner who sold his clubs, he knows how to handle all that, because I asked the same thing Mikey.

Actor, photographer, Starbucks guru and now club entrepreneur. It sounds like you should give up on these pipe dreams and get a proper job. I suppose your music policy could be based on recommendations you got from people here.
