Funny how he doesn't mention the 30% price hike a couple years back as a source of the reduced business...

I just came here to post that same story
![]() But yeah, they forgot to mention the loss of weekly revenue from a group of Subaru guys as a contributing factor in the Chapter 11.

The smoking ban argument is full of crap anyway, since it's not like there are any competing restaurants where one can smoke.

I wouldn't specifically agree with that one Kev. Not all of the people who go to Bully's are there to eat, and thus, although they haven't lost the smoking+eating customers to another restaurant, they have lost the have-a-beer-and-smoke-while-watching-the-game customers, such as myself, and others I know.
Although I can assure that specific number of people weren't likely enough to bankrupt the joint, couldn't have helped losing them. "Smokin' Bully's" = The Suck.

Expend a bunch of capital to build something that sucks just as the economy takes a crap = Chapter 11.

I hear the one on Steamboat near the RC Wiley is closing, about a year or so after opening.
So, that's the good news. The gooder news is that they are supposedly offering $2 pints all weekend on their last weekend in business.

That's probably where they lost their asses on money. That place couldn't have been cheap to build, plus it had the more expensive smoking lounge. But without any other places in that shopping center, I don't think people ever really thought about going there. It'll be a good spot as soon as there's a gas-station, supermarket, banks, etc right there... but for now, that shopping center is kind of a black hole. I never think to go over there... hell, I've even driven right past the Office Depot there on my way to CompUSA 3 times further from my house because I just forgot it's even there.

There is now a gas station but, the only reason I ever go over there is for Lamppost pizza or Home depot.

The only time I'll buy 7-11 gas is when I'm on my way out of town and I know it'll all be burned off in a short time cruising on the freeway.
