I don't think that their right to a good time overrides my right to be healthy. After all, they can go outside to smoke, can't they?

I think it's interesting that while drink sales went down, food sales increased since the ban. Does this mean that people are eating more and drinking the same? I always heard smoking tampts down the appetite....

Do individuals whom smoke not deserve to enjoy themselves at an establishment?

Maybe not mass market, but worth the search: Corazon Añejo; Dark amber color, aged in American oak at least one year. Sweet, floral honeyed nose. Caramel and tea undertones. Very smooth.

I like going to sports bars to watch matches. The atmosphere is very relaxed and laid back. There's always some sore loser that gets out of hand, but he shouldn't reck everyone's good time.

I would not visit an establishment that allowed smoking. I don't think a business would have too many customers if they did allow smoking; all of them would be dead from cancer or emfasema.

In regards to what Tim wrote about sports bars, I try to stay away from them, especially during the football season. There are too many crazies out there that get too violent when their team wins or loses.

As a customer, I enjoy a smoke-free environment. As a business person, I have concerns about anti-smoking laws hurting business. What has been everyone's experience with anti-smoking laws?

Hours of operation are important, but if the bar is open too much, wouldn't it turn into something like a hypermarket, where someone could live there for a month and no one would know? You'd need a great staff to keep the rif-raf out.

hrs of operation make a good bar. If it opens pretty early and stays open pretty late, then that gives customers more time to hang out. it also lets them leave and come back if they need 2.

The layout of a bar makes it good 2. Ones that have room to spread out in and have privacy are the nice ones. Sometimes you can get private rooms if ur having a party. That's real cool.

Speaking of entertainment, probably the neatest bar I've ever been to is the Coyote Ugly in TN; one of the girl's juggled fire on the bar. Very cool.

Sports bars are very adaptable. Those that have pool tables, juxeboxes, or darts give paying customers more for their money.

I see some good points here; as a bar owner, they are all very important. Location, location, location is all important. A good liquor selection is a no-brainer. Friendly staff help the atmosphere. And having the right setting for the patrons you want to attract will make it successful. How about sports bars? They could have two environments at once; a relaxed setting to have a business meeting at for lunch, and an unwinding spot for the rowdier crowds at night.

Bars that are more sophisticated and offer food are pretty useful too. Places you can take clients to for a nice dinner with drinks afterward so you can seal the deal and not feel rushed, like in a normal restaurant.

Location canmake a great bar. If it is easy to get to and has good parking or it is easy to get a taxi, that helps make it good. I agree too w/having live entertainment-I don't even know if it really matters what kind it is, as long as its good.

I agree w/Tim. I'm all for people watching, but I like a nice view too. The place you mentioned sounds really nice; I'll bet it's incredible at night!
