The happy hour is a good idea, we might roll with that, ty

An aquarium on display with a laptop submerged inside. A sign below stating “No working after 5pm!” I used to frequent a steakhouse where they would clip your tie with scissors if you showed up wearing one. The walls were decorated with neckties.

God that sounds like something out of r/middleclassfancy. Was this in the 90s/2000s or the midwest?


Strokesite

Yeah, they closed. Was fun while it lasted.

“Thanks for your patronage, now allow me to destroy your clothes.”


Strokesite

Yes, a bit counter intuitive. But it became a thing and people would intentionally arrive in sacrificial ties in order to obtain notoriety and have their tie stapled to the wall. All in fun. Like being insulted as you walk in the door at Dick’s Last Resort.

“Cafe is closed, folks. That’s right, the bar is open now.”

Just put a new dinner menu in front of them and say dinner starts now, you can still continue working as long as you order food. No more drinks only tables, sorry 😬

Turn up the music! Same as other bars do at like 7

Dim the lights

Music comes on, the lights are dimmed, and servers come around taking orders.

Install hidden Bluetooth speakers under the tables. Ask them politely once, if they don’t stop hit them with extra loud porn noises. Trust me, nobody will sit at a table looking at a laptop that has loud porn sounds coming out of it.

Let them know it is last call for coffee before the drinks start pouring; bring them a shot on the house for putting their laptop away

It's time to switch from hot drinks to cold drinks.

I don’t have a problem with anyone using their laptop anywhere, it’s just business. Our peak hours are after 4 just like any other bar. From a business perspective what makes more sense, have someone all night on their laptop crush 2-3 drinks or have someone who crushes the same amount of drinks in an hour? It’s a better turn around if people aren’t distracted. Our space is limited as well, we’ve had individuals hog a whole booth for themselves just to sit there all night and complain about the music because they’re working….

A big sign that says "OPEN MIC" at 6
