New Venue Coming Soon!

The place will officially be called The Haunted Castle. It's a simple name, very neutral, not overly gorey/scary. Plus, I'm pretty sure the city council wouldn't approve of Drunkenstein's; which will be the actual name above the bar.
It's a Restaurant/Halloween Bar/Irish Coffee House/Live Music and Arts Venue.
Standard Bar Liquor License = $94,000. Completely out of the fucking question.
Series 12 Restaurant w/ Liquor License = $2700.
So now I'm a restaurant.
You can't have Irish Coffee without Irish Whiskey, right? Plus I make some wicked Bailey's Irish cream pie. Have you ever been carded for pie before? You will at my place. It's the equivalent of one shot per piece.
It's located in Tempe, on McClintock just south of Apache. Southwest corner just south of the Pep Boys, right before you go under the train tracks. There used to be a Dirty Drummer in the same complex, now it's just a sports bar called Yogi's.
It will be a split venue. The total space is 3800 sq ft. About 1000 of that will be for the music/arts venue side. The other side will be the Halloween bar and Irish Coffee House. Plus that way you can escaping the ear-piercing death metal solos if that's not your thing.
It will be all ages, all the time. Unless, say a band like Eroticide is playing one of their bloody porn type of shows, then we'll have to limit it due to decency laws.
All types of music is allowed, not just "horror" bands. And we can use the room for any kind of function; it doesn't have to be just a music venue.
For example, I want to bring out Kamala the Ugandan Giant to do a wrestling match with some of the locals then he can sing the night away!!! Check out the site for some of his smooth r&b stylings. Rockin' & wrastlin'!!!

My thesis is called the "Black-Emperor-Says Theory" and holds that any any Phoenix-area indie rock festival there is a 100 percent probability that Emperors of Japan, Black Carl, and/or What Laura Says will be on the bill.

yeah this is a great idea. best of luck.
i take it you will serve Sparks?
also .. don't know how much money you have, but it would be super neato to have a really good sound system where all of the instruments are miced up (unless it's a little room)

and hfe, amen to your comment. my girlfriend and i are always looking for something like that and go to places that advertise that and it ends up being a cover band or something doing old motown (which isn't tooooo bad) and top 40. EDIT: maybe that's your cue to start a band like that and play 3 nights a week. i'd check it out.
