How is the one in the Barclays doing nowadays?

It’s something about upscale sports bars that feel kinda off to me.

Like who are you aiming at with ace of spaces, caviar and baseball? To have all those extras without anyone buying them must be a big L. Really felt like a place that Jay and Juan created for themselves, most people just want some beers, wings and pizza regardless of if they are finance guys or construction guys. As long as the tv and wings are good we’re good

International tourists , largely... and the general tourist beyond that. Seeing a bunch of non white people front it could be a throw off but "our" celebs are really jus ambassadors for Americana prestige . Black people aint the target audience for any of this shyt

We insult “our black celebrities” at every damn turn


We have to “check in” in certain city’s while 👨 don’t


Would you embrace your own as a black celebrity or keep them at arms length and love us from afar


Be honest

Eh... people pursue their interests and get caught up in the feedback loop. U wanna consume dumb shyt, indulge yourself...

If i were to posture in my own damn community as some papered up tough guy who cant be fukked with no one would be surprised when something happens to me. Idk why the guy singing and dancing on stage for crumbs supposed to be exempt from the same nature we all gotta answer to

Common and lupe were very visible and accessible Chicago and didn't get fukked with... ijs

And investors ain't paying nikkas to "embrace their own" thats what dollar stores pawn shops n food deserts are for. When i said we arent the target audience i meant jus that...

Caviar? Lol nah 40/40 is regular I get wings. It gets more expensive when you’re in the private room with the pool table which I did for my birthday a few years back or if you’re ordering bottles on bottles.

That's what I'm talking about the lounge part, if that isn't being utilized it's just a big cost probably dwarfing the revenue from the area by the bar

But then again, it's no money to Jay
