Korean Bar Reports

[Thumperforq]

I heard last night about the price increase from the wholesalers, If they keep the present rate they only making. 25 cents a bottle but yeah agree with you increase is too big. The majority of the day crowd are retirees on a fixed income I doubt their Social Security and Pension increased at the same rate. This will affect the day crowd and these guys that drink daytime. This will cut their drinking time down buy at least a beer.

I finally thought Jade mama had a chance to collect on this niche market by not raising prices but heard she like the rest raised her prices to match 74 and Evergreen. Hey Jade $2. 50/2. 75 you still making money and you would pack the place how about it can you survive with this margin? You would get new customers cause when you on a fixed income. 50 cents is. 50 cents, even saving a quarter would appeal to some daytime drinkers I am sure.

I apologize to the mama mentioned in the previous post but, do you need to keep the same profit margin? Unlike the mama above your trade is at night with the second shift and for evergreen after 2 AM where you make a killing. How about lowering the prices and see how that goes a $1 increase is a bit excessive. What do you think?

I realize the hard cores will still come and probably not stay as long as this is a daily ritual for them but you really need to take care of the clientele you have left. These younger guys are not as dumb as us old futs so you need to milk them with the food and the beer. And you still going turn a profit. If you keep squeezing blood from rock you will eventually only have a bloody hand. Just saying. And entirely my opinion.

P.S. Brother mits yeah you old enough cause I remember the same. Remember piss water Primo and the factory on Moanalua road??by the cases.

Already had girls at Splash trying to use increase to their advantage. Honey, mama raise price. I only make $12 a drink; mama take $8. Give me tip.

Aloha gang, Spotlite grand opening was nothing special to me. The food was probably the highlight. That and every time Yubin sings. LOL. Her lvb's were all out in full force last night. Amazing how she gets customers when she doesn't drink alcohol and also has a significant other. She must really know how to work a crowd. All other girls were so so busy nothing to write home about. Yubin by far went to get new drinks the most often with Sylvia drinking the second most as far as we could tell. Some other girl in a black top and skirt seemed to be gaining ground but was third. Lol

As we sat there last night I noticed the place was about 80 percent full but majority of the customers were just sipping. As a result the girl they were sitting with rarely went back up for a new drink. In that type of situation, I think everyone loses money. The house because of all of the food and the girls because the drinks are not as frequent as they would like. The girls who sang last night tended to be more popular in receiving more frequent nekohana.

Aloha Oe, see you there tonight. I'll be looking for your group. We will be in a group of five at a reserved table near the far side wall opposite the bar.

Be safe brothers.

74 had papers on the wall. I think it's about the price hike. Was to drunk to see clearly. Didn't even check if they raise night time beer. I guess you can't call it happy hours on the day time, but sad hours. Seeing all the grand pops with the sour face cause they have to rake in that extra doller.

International was dead lastnight. Thought you guys was joking but not. Had only Kimmi and one older skinny lady. She good to go. I was turn on but I was drunk too. Spent to much money on Lea at Splash. Never had enough to buy that lady bartender a drink. Saw a fattie at Cam's two weeks ago but never seen her lastnight. I think yuri was her name. I like that kind cause nobody like try.

Liquor distributors raised wholesale prices effective June 1. Bars are passing on the increases.

So they are selling beer that they bought last month at this month's prices? I'm sure they stocked up before the increase. Eff them.

[Getting Old]

The inevitable has arrived; increase of liquor prices is in-line with the rest of other goods and services, however. Happy hour beer price increase to $3 is too large a jump and may affect an already stagnant KB business even moreso.

[Captin Crunch]

Is this Suji that got locked out of Hollywood after the second month, ran Club Diamond (next to Keeaumoku Supermarket), gave Tammy mama (Club Tomorrow) a bounced check, and goes back and forth to Pearl City?

Yes sir. That's the one.

[Alohaoe]

Anyone going tonight? Will be there later. Report to follow.

Aloha BeerAddict my friends and I going tomorrow night about 6:00,my friends like to sing karaoke and eat.

Have fun alohaoe.

I guess the mama need to pay the rent, and increase profits. The ladies already have to pay $6 liquor and $5 non-alcohol drink prices. I do go occasionally but I am not going to contribute to to the mama's profit line. She actually increased the happy hour prices. I guess Jade Mama going get more business next door.

Brother lualualei times they are a changing and not for the better be safe guys plenty of blue on the road these days.

Ashley will be partnering with Ellie soon and run Splash together. Good luck to both.

Be safe brothers.

They can raise all they want, as all I can see only LVBs going bar and spend big bucks on princess. Casual drinkers will not spend more and getting less. Look at the faces they have at the bars. No newbies and young chicks. Only grandma and same faces I see hundreds of times before.

Raised the happy hour prices June 1. What happened to the $. 25 happy hour prices!
