The Outpost Cafe / Anybody ever get this
« on: January 25, 2010, 03:25:00 PM »
We were told over the weekend that the management wasn't happy 'cause our "people" (people that come to see the band)...don't drink enough.
We draw an older crowd that is real dance oriented...they typically have dinner reservations, eat supper, drink a few beers and dance all night. A lot of them really dance very well...it's obviously a big deal to them.
Last weekend the bar held about 400. We had about 350 to 400 there for most of the night...the last set is always a little slow, because they're older, and tend to thin at midnight or so (this is Cincinnati...midnight is late if you're 50 to 60).
The bar told us they want 30-somethings rather than 50+ somethings in there, because the younger people drink alot more and they make more money.
BTW the people all paid a $5 cover to get in.
This is the second bar to tell us this. Actually kind of ticked me off...we draw a good classy crowd.
Anybody else run into this?
