[QUOTE="humble minion, post: 8265780, member: 5948"] I did spend a night every fortnight at a gaming bar near my work, but covid put paid to that. Not sure I'd do it for D&D though, I'm a big-time convert to online/VTT gaming now, and i basically never ever want to run a pen and paper game again. Boardgames etc it could work for though, or very low-crunch narrative RPG systems. A guy I know did run a gaming cafe for a while, but lockdowns put him clean out of business. Some hospitality businesses etc in my part of the world managed to stay afloat during COVID by pivoting to home delivery, take away etc. A gaming bar doesn't have that option. Edit: though i should mention, I can't imagine we were very profitable. There were three of us, we'd tie up a table for 3ish hours, and we'd order maybe one drink each in that time. The place served food too, but we were playing a really nice boardgame and who wants to get greasy fingermarks all over the pretty art? Compared to actually going out to a pub to drink with mates, when i might have gotten through three pints and an order of wedges or something in the same time, margins can't have been high. [/QUOTE]
