The right one could definitely be popular here with the more young professional crowd instead of the types of people who places like Tequila Cowboy and Foxtail attract. The clubs we do have around here quickly lose their appeal once you're in your mid to late 20s.

Yeah I think this is exactly what he’s looking for. The problem is the huge college age population is no longer contained to Oakland as it was when there were actually bars there, so they end up overrunning the whole city because they’re going to drink the most and the club owners will make the most from them. Once you’re 30 everyone thinks your night out should consist of Bravo Italian Kitchen or something.

I lucked out. When I was in my 20s, I could choose from Chauncys, Donzis, Metropol, Rosebud, and countless others. Matrix was after I stopped going to clubs and settled down to the local bar scene. Now I just enjoy hitting a brewery here and there. My daughter is 21 now and she was just complaining about wanting to go dancing and there was nowhere decent.

Lol no one younger than me believes me when I talk about Smallman Street and Station Square back in the day. There were even clubs at shopping malls in the suburbs back then.

Bravo? Only on my birthday…the rest of the year it’s plain ol’ Olive Garden for me
