Before Covid it looked like it was going to be an upstairs outdoor bar. Would have been kinda cool.

From my understanding multiple concepts have been started but nothing ever finished. the second story concept sounded cool, but it fizzled out during the Fauci led closures...

@RiverDave can you shed any light?

Isn't that the building that the strip joint was in back in the 80-90's?

I know the entire story. Friend owns it.
Lets just say the concept is great. Permits done. licenses done.
The city and certain restaurant owners made it impossible to get to the finish line. These delays caused investors to back out. Its pretty much complete inside.

I thought it was the old Firehouse Bar before they moved a long time ago. @throttle may remember. ;)
The original Firehouse Bar was on Capri, it was a rad little bar (the Toby Keith, "I love this bar" comes to mind)! The owner wanted to expand and moved into that building for a while. I don't know what happened. I am not sure what the building was before she moved in.

Your friend could probably find the "pull" and investors here on RDP if he came on here and made his business pitch.

When she she opened it… a few days later we walked in and ordered beers. Got that pretty quick, walked around a bit and then upstairs… we downed our beer and left. The smell of the place was horrid. Never went back.

The place up on Capri was awesome… just too small.

The place on Capri was our favorite bar in Havasu. Karen was so nice, and the atmosphere was so comfortable.

Curious as to what I'd get out of providing that investor network? LOL

This isn't biz launchers dot com... Unless they wanted to pay for the Blinky blinkies on the page. (ads)

I wouldn't think anything unless you wanted to invest. You've created a place for like minded people (some with extra capital) to hang out. The fancy restaurant doesn't get cut in on the deals that are completed in their lounge either :)

The "pull" is you the "Fixer" of Havasu. Get the situation "Fixed" and bring in investor's. I'm sure you would be handsomely rewarded.
