Their failure is probably tied to the clientele that they were trying to attract. I've been to the cigar lounge near my brother's house down in Jacksonville several times, and it was widely popular and supported by the locals because the drinks, bar food, and cigars were reasonably priced, plus they had a massive selection of cigars to choose from in some very nice humidors. This place was trying to charge country club prices while being located in a working class neighborhood...

The Fan is not working class. I don’t disagree that their target audience wasn’t correct, but that’s not why.

The Fan is working class so does that make Lakeside the working poor?

Since when did a neighborhood of $800k-1.2m homes become working class?

Lots of people rent in the fan. That's your working class. I lived in the Fan for years making a very small salary.

The one near Atlantic? Near Ragtime and such? I was born on 4th street over there and went to that spot in 2012. Small world.
