Most of this is based on the last place she was working, which we had tried to purchase when it came available last year. We obviously didn't end up with it. (The current owner paid 5 times it's appraised value.)
State law requires a minimum of 40 seats at tables to get a liquor license (bar seating does not count). Places always go a little over that so that there is never a question about capacity with the commission. So... 50 seats at tables/booths and probably 10 or so at the bar, depending upon how it's laid out.
We expect our place to be a "regulars" place, and we want our place to stand out with an authentic experience... wife wants the design and atmosphere to heavily reflect the pubs back home.
Lunch... undecided. Depends on location. May opt for just afternoon and evening hours.
Entertainment? Occasionally.
A menu with all the regular stuff, plus a daily special was appealing to me but some people didn't like the idea.
Burgers, yes. Nachos... in an Irish pub?? (I know... sell what sells.)
Strange thing is that *I* just wanted a small pub that sells beer and pizza.
Damn that woman...
