Mech - loving the idea but the scope needs to be defined more.
Are we talking about starting a simple dive bar where we can hang out and bang?
The beginning of a global franchise catering o the international playboy lifestyle? (my favorite)
A Member hangout - along the lines of Project Hollywood?
I just put a business model template up on google docs. PM me your email and I can add you, and anyone else willing, access to it. It a simple template that can be modified as needed once the idea comes to shape more
Funds - Check.
Motivation - Check
Experience - Check
Knowledge - Check.
Everything we need to do it, we have right here on roosh.

How much money is needed from every member mechanico?

So how will this work? We all put money in and are free to stop by any time of the year?

Mech - how about a data sheet of places you can find in the area that based on your experience and intel you think would viable options.
we could then break down initial start-up costs and work on other aspects such as insurance quotes, licensing fees, etc. Get at least a ball-park figure.

There's no cover charge to get into bars here.

When I was living in Japan a mexican friend bought a nightclub with an american guy. It was in the redlight district and started to get busy around midnight and ran until the morning. I don't know what happened, because the place seemed to be running well, but after six months they closed shop. Probably the calculation did not work out as expected.

Haven't checked in in a while... But this idea looks like a really fun project. I'm interested, and would be down to fly in to set up the cameras/online access etc. The idea of massive fishtanks is great, any idea of how much that would cost/how much of a pain in the ass it would be?

Without the breakdown it sounds like the same business plan 95% of college kids come up with...
Buy Bar + ? = get laid
There are two types of people who get into the bar business - those who want to have some fun while getting a tax write off, and those delusional enough to think they're going to make a profit.
The bar business is horrible. If you're looking to invest in something, get in a Vanguard fund or buy a rental property. The bar business is a horrible investment.
But if you're a little older, pulling running conventional game is a little harder/you're busy, and you have a little cash...It starts to make sense.
There's a 100% chance I'll be in the bar business later in life.
If you're a young guy looking to invest in a bar, I'd advise against it.

Breaking down the math that way I would think would make it incredibly easy to find investors willing to put larger amounts into an idea like this, keeping the ownership group smaller and easier to manage and schedule.
