New Wine Bar / Lounge Opening

The new place will be opening by the end of August. It is called LIFE.
It is an upscale wine bar/lounge. We will have all furniture no regular tables and chairs. More laid back and relaxing setting. Main room will hold 120 sitting and 180 standing plus the back VIP Room will have its own theater for about 60 people sitting and 90 standing. We want to show old school movies and shit in the theater. I need some themes for some nights and happy hours.

What do some of the bars, restaurants and lounges by you do?

Sex & The City Night - have the shows playing on the tv's with drink specials for women.

Cuba Night - Cigars and Cards and play Casino

Golf Night - play Happy Gilmore, Cadyshack, etc...

SNL Night - play old Will Ferrill and Chris Farley shows

Gangster Night - play GoodFellas, Bronx Tail, Godfather, etc...

We will have a strick dress code and of course amazing women tending bar.

BAH

I hate clubs - they're places where people go to think that they're special that they "got in" and places where the sole intent is suck as much money as possible out each and each idiots that has to be there to be seen.

Ego + Money = Mo Money

Remember when the club owners and workers are sucking up to you it's not because they like you it's because they want your $$$$ - and you're the dumb cow to give it to them.


It's like how gym owners/trainers feel about people who join for their "new year's resolutions" - a sucker to make cash off of with the least amount of work possible.
 
I agree. I hate clubs but they make me a ton of money! This is more of a laid back lounge then a club. Smooth jazz playing. Very laid back. Not a sweat box club. Very upscale! High end. $350 for bottles of Goose. $10 for bottle beer. Stuff like that. No bullshit!

Ok so basically you just admitted to everyone that you are a friggin thief and will rip them off if they come to your "so called" club!

Yeah I know I like paying $10 for a bottle of 0.75$ beer
 
It is the cost of going to a good place. It is NY baby not a Factory lunch room. It is NORMAL in NY to pay top dollar to go to a place like this.
Maybe one day you can work as a bar back in one of my places. MAYBE...

That's not exactly thievery, sweety. Have you ever visited a large city and gone to an upscale club before? It's pretty standard higher prices. Nothing odd there.
 
Thanks Killah. It is the norm in a real city. No big.
Like I said before this is not Blue's Factory Lunch Room...

Yes Sweety, I live in one of the largest cities in Canada. And no, I've never left the house or ever been to any club. Well once my Mom took me to a book club....
ughhhhhhh!!!!!

Where's this joint going to be located? Lots of wine bars / lounges in the city, as I'm sure you know
 
ok, ok, I got it, a good suggestion for your "so called" club
How bout you nail yourself to the wall and people can throw darts at you.
I would SO visit and pay $15 for a beer
 
Explain your post then Blue...
WAIT....
She is over 40 so the last time she was at a club she was drinking 7&7 and doing the Hustle with Johnny T.
 
blueta2 said:
I was joking sweety...I live in the biggest party town in Canada and I am 40, you think I've never been to a high end club.


lol at biggest party town and DOUBLELOLOLOOZZZ at 40!!!!!!!

oh cool, the "I was joking" line.
 
Yonkers, right on the water in the new downtown area. It is fucking amazing here! All built up and getting better! My other 2 places in Westchester are here too. It is sick. Need to check it out one night! Saturday night we have about 800-1000 people between the 2 places already and when this new places opens... WOW!

too bad it's in westchester. open another in the city. is 350 for a bottle of goose standard for some vip shit in the city? is that 750ml? if that runs for 35-40 (typically) online, then your businesses must be getting it for under 30, at the least, right?

damn.
 
Take the Metro North Hudson Line. Takes 25 minutes to get to from Grand Central! Walk off the train an you are there! 8 restaurants within 1 block. Very cool area! Stop by...
$26 each for the 750ml Shhhhhh!
Standard mark up.

sounds like a possibility. if there's a meet up at the end of august, we should go there to coincide with the opening.

lol, jack schitt, if you're here, you're going.

We paid $500 in Vegas for a 750ml of GG. Well, my friend did. I laughed when they said that. I was dumb enough to spring for the La Grande Damme. Ouch.
 
It is expensive to go out these days. Top notch places cost top notch prices!

since i love 80s shit, i'd appreciate a night for 80s flicks.

real genius
weird science
breakfast club
ghostbusters
back to the future
etc (all the iconic shit which defines the decade)

also, some obscure stuff, like:

big trouble in little china
flash gordon
etc...

will these be recurring theme nights, or are they planned as one-offs for now?
since it's not strictly a wine bar, i assume you'll have a good selection of liquor
(like the goose you mentioned)? what about your selection of beers on tap?
 
I like the 80 night theme!!! GREAT MOVIES! Yea, they will be one-offs. These nights will be on Sun-Wed. Thursday - Saturday will be packed no matter what we do or charge. Just looking to fill the space on off nights with these events and Corp events.
Fully stocked bar with all Top Shelf Liquors. No tap beer. Only bottle.
Small Tapas menu and deserts too. HUGE WINE SELCTION TOO, OF COURSE!
From all over the world. And FEMALES ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!

Great theme but not the right place... WINK

We used to have F&L in LV playing all the time at World about 7 years ago when I was running that club in NYC. Also 9 1/2 Weeks. Sexy!!!

ok, fair enough. you're not really paying for a bottle of vodka anyway, that's just included.
 
Your paying to be in the place and to sit in the best area with the HOTTEST WOMEN! The drinks are just a bonus!

Yeah, it was because we got a table and the bottle service, and all that dumb shit. It was fun though.

LOL@ running that club?!
I somehow cannot believe a fool like you can run anything......except your fat mouth off.
My guess, busboy!
 
You would have to talk with Jack. He will be running my VIP area...
Where is Jack???

EF'ers would get a discount!



jackangel said:
you wouldn't charge EFers all that $, would ya? we need the hook up. no more than 9 dollars per beer, please.
 
Are you back? Lunch at the Factory is over??? The .05 raise means shit.

I ran the Promotions for that club and about 12 others. That's how I got into the business. I learned about the management while I was doing the Promotions. It was tough work but I made it happen and now look at me.
Hard work pays off!

Running promos and running the actual club are two different things kiddo!

I did look at you now and what, you married an average girl but still fuck around on her and get on EF to brag about the little you have.
Ok? And that's impressive?
Work out, get buff, love your wife and stop cheating on her, tell us real stories and then maybe I will think "wow, look at him now"!
You're nothing son
 
Blue just put me on Ignore already... Stop following me around and posting after me. For real. Get over your old self. Not even going to respond to your childish remarks! It is just funny to me. Go back to the factory. OWNED!

This is a real thread with real posts, BEAT IT!

Why are you such an old over the hill whore? Yea, I said it!
BEAT IT! GO BACK TO THE ASSEMBLE LINE AT $5.05 A HOUR.
Stop being jealous of others. Be happy with what you have even if it is not a lot. Don't be negative towards others for your short falls. I am young and on the up and up. You on a quick downward spiral! Just let it go!
Take care.

BLUE
PLEASE PUT ON IGNORE!

yonkers, did you rectify the problem with your staff at the place in westchester?

"I had my hopes high since it's a great location and atmosphere. But I can't recall the last time I was at a place where the staff was as unattentive as this staff was. My waiter virtually disappeared, and the manager was not concerned as we had to get up several times to ask for our check... really disappointing. "
 
Have some good music man. Like De la and tribe. Chill music that still vibes. I don't want to have to scream at a chick when I'm trying to mack her.

you're right, this is a real thread
 
Which place in Westchester?
Sorry if that was the case.
When did you come by? Do you know who your waiter was?
I can take care of it for you. VERY SORRY!
I do not run the day to day, our managers do but very sorry for any bad service! If this is real I will take care of your next meal!

i don't often go to 'clubs' anymore, although when i do, i go to upscale ones only, but i do often go to expensive restaurants that often have lounges in them.

Obviously, good music is a must, but so is good food and drinks- think creatively.

Have areas that are quieter than others, for people who want to hear eachother vs. people who want to dance.

theme nights- 60's, 70s, or 80s.
latin
techno
marti gras

if you're going to have tv's, which i would, put on stuff to match the theme. have dinner or drink specials named to match too. and GOOD, awesome lighting.
 
I agree. Very low music. A lot of low jazz too but I like the 2 vibes you spoke about. Same page!

i'm sorry- i didn't write that. it was a review of the Pier view.

I assumed you had seen it.
 
So we are on the same page. What you spoke about is what we are doing!

All good. I was going to say I did not know you were local!
We do get some bad press from time to time... Nature of the business!
The Pier View is a VOLUME business. Like I said we have around 800-1000 people on a Saturday. It is more of a Bar. Ya know. It is inside and outside so sometimes the staff gets bogged down. No excuses but the truth! The new place will be more of an Upscale Lounge.

ok. there was only one review and that was it, so that looks pretty bad for a busy place. well, it looks pretty bad for any place, really.

btw- here's a suggestion.
besides good alcohol drinks, you might want to consider having things like good coffee and tea. then you aren't excluding your non drinkers and people who want to go someplace after a date but aren't into "clubs" per se.
 
You couldn't pay me to set foot in a themed environment. It's like college all over again.

But I do get it, the boring masses get all giddy over that stuff
 
Huge Desert section and coffee's and tea's. People can go on a Sunday afternoon and just relax on the water or after dinner at home come down and enjoy. Thanks for the solid 411.

Please tell BLUE TO PUT ME ON IGNORE! Read the sticky BLUE.

Like I said Thursday - Saturday will be packed no matter what but we want to pull money in on off nights. Sunday - Wednesday.
Creative things work from time to time. We will try a bunch and see what sticks. Corp partes and events will be big for us on these nights. Juts want to try different things and see if the shit sticks. Ya know!

Right there will you both. We re doing those things already. Been doing this for years but it is always good to look outside your normal environment and look for ideas. THANKS FOR ALL OF THE POSITIVE FEEDBACK! Seems like we are going to be doing the right things when we open. Wish you guys would stop by when we open!!!

BLUE - PLEASE PUT ME ON IGNORE. IT WOULD MAKE LIFE SO MUCH BETTER!



jackangel said:
i like stilleto's suggestion of non-alcoholic drinks. definitely agree with having music that isn't loud. hate.
 
Well it is Sunday Funday... I will run that by the other investors next week.

Might be hard on a Subject Line in an email but who knows....


jackangel said:
how about an Immigrant Clowns on Acid Fucking Dwarves up the Ass theme? i think this would do well on a sunday.
 
i think it's workable. tasteful, decent. now midgets, on the other hand...that would be fucking disgusting and crude.
 
Atleast we are on the same page.
A friend of mine wanted to open a half midget bar / half normal bar. One side would be midgets and the other would be a normal bar. The middle wall would be 2 way glass so the normal side could look into the midget side. Pretty sick!

do models and bottles night.. 2 for 1 bottles.. if a dude comes with 5+ chicks he gets a free bottle.. of some shitty vodka like effen or rain..

Big Trouble in Little China is NOT obscure.
 
Downhere we have :

Foreskin night - just what it says. Show your foreskin, get a free drink.
Ari Night - Entourage is playing, everytime Ari says "fuck" a round of shots go out.
Deadwood Night - same as above but when Al says "cocksucker"
 
A - Always
B - Be
C - Closing

Which movie is this from?
(Said in a sales meeting in the rain)

GREATEST SALES MOVIES OF ALL TIME BY THE WAY!!!
Might do a night with those types of movies playing.
Can't say which ones. Don't want to give a clue away.
 
Need to hire hot bartenders for the new place. We have a few but always looking to add new ones into the rotation between the 3 places in Yonkers.
Any HOT WOMEN looking to tend?
