Default Re: Starting a brick and mortar

I am fortunate enough to be within 5 miles of one of the best cigar bars in the entire valley (Phoenix) and I would be absolutely shocked if the owner isn't making money hand over fist. They sell a ridiculous amount of tobacco and liquor and the staff are amazing. They do a really good job of making you feel welcome and important and I've seen them double in size in like 3 years since they opened. They have an amazing selection of whiskey and they always rotate new craft beers on tap. Not only are they drawing cigar connoisseurs, but also whiskey and beer connoisseurs. It's a great way to get people interested in other tastes.

The moral of the story? If you can serve drinks and your place has an awesome vibe in a good location, then you'll do well so long as you have the demand from the proper demographic.
