So tell me about the bar.
Long L-shape, or smaller horseshoe?
What'll the backbar look like?
What Scotch will you stock? What gin?
Little stage and dance floor for karaoke and country bands?
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm 47 in 3 weeks. I try not to compare expectations and achievements, but I've done stuff I never thought I'd do.

That ain't right. You can't even drown the workweek in alcohol when you get home.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Long L-shape, or smaller horseshoe?
I'm more in favor of the horseshoe. Longer bars tend to lead to lots of people who think they're first.
Scotch will be everything from Cutty Sark to single cask. Karaoke is completely up to juliana, but Peggy Lee will be on there.

More importantly (well, to ME), will you stock Absinthe? And Pinky vodka?

We will also need Chartrueuse!
ETA: By which I mean, YES!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I like the horseshoe. Amante here in North Beach is a long curve, but you can tell bartenders designed it. It can support 4 bartenders easily, and the only time any of them have to cross paths is to get to the phone or one of the cash registers. In all else, they have everything they need in arm's reach. I'd like to have a smaller version of that.
Little stage and dance floor for karaoke and country bands?
Hells, yes. Also for various readings and fashion shows. The lighting and sound systems design will be done by theatrical professionals, of course.
Absinthe, Fernet-Branca, green Chartreuse, Three Olives cherry vodka, and Pinky vodka will all be in stock.
The top-shelf question is tricky, you know? How to not break the bank and still have a good selection is of paramount importance.

Oooh! I think we know some of those.
