V. Barbarino Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 Curious to see how many we can name.. Go as far back as possible... Wonder if potential club operators will learn something from this list... Some may be still open but are a failure due to not living up to the hype or they are barley hanging on and some never got off the ground example: Crobar downtown's bid for old space, players and now noc and maybe NV..Cafe NostalgiaCieloClub DowntownCrobar DowntownEclipseEnvyEscapeExileFuelHouseIce PalaceLiving Room DowntownNocturnalPlayersPower StudiosPureRioSanctuarySky LoungeThe BeachWarehouseNVPrivliageNerveBillBoard Live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest coach Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 What's the criteria for failed? Loung 16 was around for years, then closed recently. How long does it have to have been open to consider it a success? 3 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long does it have to have been open to consider it a success? 3 years?3 years is great for a club, so I wouldn't say that was a failure, as for Spin, they were doing ok for the LP days, but after that, it tanked hard!

Guest coach Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 Oh, wait, here's a good comparison. Something like 75% of all new businesses fail within the first 2 years. So, how do our clubs stand up to that? More? Less? About average? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-SIDE1414779017 Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 Now I though Power Studios did well when it was around & Rain was the bomb back in the day... what's the justification length of time open / attendance / what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest coach Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 Maze and if your going way back...... the infamous Club Hell back in 92-93 , the only club to have separate rooms named after the seven deadly sinsI thought Maze stayed open for a decent number of years? I mean, Level was around for a number of years before it fizzled out and was sold, so does it count as failed or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pod Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 All too often, you get these out-of-towners who think they can come in, toss a bunch of money around, open a club, get laid, and get a slam-dunk success.As I've said time and time again...it takes a lot more than that to run a successful club.

Guest pod Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 Oh, wait, here's a good comparison. Something like 75% of all new businesses fail within the first 2 years. So, how do our clubs stand up to that? More? Less? About average?More. Most of the clubs around here won't be around next year in their current form. What's even worse, you have to worder where these people get their startup capital to begin with? I mean, opening up a decent club (and no, JBLs on sticks and a few candles doesn't constitute a decent technical backend...) costs a pretty penny, which you would think would imply some sort of business sense on the part of the ownership...but yet when the club opens, all good sense seems to go out the window? Sad really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
