Some quality insight here..
Obviously:
It takes a lot of hard work
You would probably go broke
Most start-up businesses fail
There's a lot of competition
It's a niche market

I think we all know these things and really want to know people's thoughts on how to make it WORK..

While personally not in a position to go into this type of venture any time soon, I just wanted to open a dialog about general feasibility in different areas, & why one thing might work in one location & not another etc.. We are on the Gold Coast (QLD Australia) currently and there are opportunities and great locations here as there are in other parts of the world ut its a different game every where you go..

One thing I have noticed during my time in in California is that there are lots of neighborhood bars that are popular for really no reason other than a stocked bar.
If they can survive (some for over 50 years) on friendly bar tenders and standard drinks alone then the same must be possible with tiki decor even if for no apparent reason. I wonder if it's possible here in Oz?
