51. Going to be the dissenting opinion here..from the "food is bad"....

...it's far more simplistic. Market Saturation. There is just way too damn many of them. Where I'm at, you go to one and there is another no more than 30 minutes. Then you have competitors such as Tilted Kilt...and well...they all do the "Sports Bar" routine, so, very little to differentiate other than the menu...but at the end of the day, it's all "bar food".

Sometimes I think Playboy should reopen its clubs, include a fine dining restaurant, etc. and I think they could find a whole new market.
