    by venue... you mean a store?

    i have some friends who have done it. it seems very much like renting an apartment. seemingly easy to break even if you have enough traffic. go fer it!

    Just wondering if anyone has any experience with it.

    I know of a few people who are starting out by running an event in someone else’s club/venue..that way you get the experience without a massive risk..

    just write me a check for like $15,000.00 and i’ll give you nothing in return.

    it will save you so much time and effort.

    I’ve been bartending for 6 years at the same address, and I’ve worked for about 15 different owners.
