I opened a night club on a block in SF that had lots of other bars. Unfortunately, we also picked the one spot on the block that was also next door to a liquor store.

I can't tell you how much that cost us because people would just go next door, get a small bottle of something for cheap, down it while they were out on their smoke break and then come back to the show in my place.

It really sucked honestly.

Which one? Butter? The moves California ABC made during Covid were interesting.

Same block. I have stories about the ABC for days, evil evil humans work there. If meter maids had a place to graduate to, this is where they go.

I can see how that's bad placement. Did you try a cover with no-reentry to at least cut down on that?

But, yeah, it can be harmful like that or positive in that maybe there are restaurants next door where people eat before they come to your bar for drinks and a show.
