There is definately a lack of live music venues which could be a big draw card around here.. there is also the new "small bar licence" available now in Queensland which is around $500 so cheap compared to traditional bar licencing but still all the fees for development approvals etc.. you can only have 60 patrons in the premises at one time and only trade to midnight with late trading for specific events on application.. What would (could) work here is something similar in size to Otto's in NYC or the Pink Elephant in San Diego (both have room for live music) with a look similar to say the Tonga Hut in north Hollywood (understated but unmistakably classic tiki bar) Thoughts?
