Not easy to get to from Essex county but I'll keep this in my radar
Anyone think a hockey bar cod succeed in NJ? That would be my dream business, but I'm not sure where I'd put it.. Can't see people driving more than 30 mins to a bar when there is probably one closer to them
In North Jersey, pretty much the only locales that I think a hockey themed bar could work, at the moment, are Hoboken near the train station and Morristown on South St or nearby The Green.
They would have to heavily promote the baseball crowds during the summer to stay afloat-and football too in Sept.
Eventually I'd love to see one near The Rock, but that is many years away, not enough people with disposable income live near The Rock yet to support such a bar on non-game nights.
On that note, I've spoken to the managers at a few of the bars near The Rock, they all said business has been great on game nights this season, much better compared to last year.
I'm sure they are all hoping for another long playoff run, they are killing it on game nights.
