Bank Drivethrough at 6th&Cincinatti to be Plush Martini Lounge

[Townsend]

 What's the gross receipts required off food?  Seem to remember that it's at least 50% to be deemed a restaurant as opposed to "mixed beverage" or "beer and wine" establishment.  Maybe less, though.

That's what it took to allow "under 21" so I'd imagine that's what it'd take to be considered a restaurant.

Anyone else find it ironic that Christian churches serve wine, but no other business around them may do so?

Well you just can't price them...I'd imagine you can ask for a tithe

This is a non-issue anyway. I just walked through there, and there were people in the building.  They are looking to put a design firm in there of some kind or another, not a martini lounge.  Hey! At least the building is getting used.

Damn, my liver was getting all excited...

I am more excited about the prospects for a penthouse/rooftop martini lounge at the Mayo.

I never acquired a taste for martinis or gin.

The guy doing the doors for this place confirmed it will be a Martini Lounge. 

Unless it's a super secret development and he's just being told he's doing the doors for a martini lounge...

Sounds like Darth Vader's conversation with his loan officer:

ABLE finally gave them the news they didn't want...they're too close to the church to the south.  They talked about converting it to some sort of quasi-restuarant / martini bar(at night).  I haven't seen either of the brothers lately or seen any work on the property so don't know the latest and greatest.  Hopefully they didn't give up on the property.

Being as they are across the street, that can't be unexpected.

I think they could keep the martini's if they could come up with a food menu and get reclassified as a restaurant.

Either that or drop the hard liquor... Zima Martini's?

I still don't understand why people don't fight the law on ground of forcing religion.  After all, there is no other real explination of the law.

I think the logic is like being near schools, since kids go there it isn't safe :/
