If I could toss a wrench in it now,, I think its too inflexible for a real bar setting, cant scoot your seat over to get away from one & closer to another. Cant lean on the bar & face who youre talking to, Its ( to me) more gimmick than function, & frankly, Id feel like an idiot sitting there. Theres a reason those rides in front of the grocery store were small, it was because that kind of fantasy is for children, So, while at first blush I thot it was "cool", after a moment to consider how Id actually feel if I was there, I realized its not cool at all. ( Edit to add: NOt for a Regular bar type setting) I think it will survive not because of the bar setting, but because the bar setting is in keeping with the rest of the property. Its kind of a museum & tourist spot.( best I can tell from a quick look at their webby site) So, for them, maybe it will be okay, but if it was just a bar, theyd go broke. Its not a bar in the sense of the word most folks think of when they are "Going Bar Hopping". Its not where a guy goes hoping to meet his soul mate for the nite, its an attraction, like a theme park.Its a place to go where They Have a bar, it Isnt just a bar, so, for them, I guess it just may work,, If I stopped in there, Id sit down for a beer with my wife & friends & have a picture taken,, then Id go look at their collection of stuff that has wheels & motors & such!
One thing is certain, they spent a LOAD of Cash building that place,.
I hope whoever it was that put that all together makes a fortune..vision & guts & the ability to put it all together,, thats what MADE America what it was & thats what will bring us back,
You know,, there are song writers. There are singers, just vocalists. & then, once in a while, someone comes along with stories to tell,, a good enough voice to tell them, & the talent to accompany themselves on some instrument. Those people leave me in awe, & I am truly impressed with this bar,, I just have to look at things from all sides,, The place is cool for what it is, if it was just a beer joint & pool tables with motorcycles for seats at the bar, I think that would be abad idea, but the thrust of the place is not "just a bar", so, I think It will work out, & thats a good thing!
