I don't think they serve alcohol, as it is 18+.

They have two bars.
The reason for their hours is that they're the only club in the area that has a license to operate after hours. When all the other clubs are giving last call the party is just starting at Bob's place.

The club opens at 12 midnight tomorrow, Friday the 17th/Saturday the 18th. It is only open from 12 AM to 6 AM Friday night/Saturday morning and Saturday night/Sunday morning. :shock: :twisted:
OPENS at midnight? Geez...definitely caters to the under-30 crowd who can actually stay awake past midnight. What time does the bar legally have to stop serving alcohol? MANY years ago in NYC, it was 4:00AM, IIRC...but those days are a bit fuzzy. :fruit:

Good luck with the grand opening, Bob. Hope your first weekend greatly exceeds your expectations!

If you visit a club/disco in Denmark at 12 its completely empty - usually fills up around 1-1:30 :) Most places close around 5 and then at 5 all the morning clubs open up.. hehe

@hifibob - we want more videos and pictures! Maybe a few reaction videos of people being pounded on the dancefloor? :hyper:

I probably missed it way back but what are the room dimensions and crowd capacity?

And just to be sure, from the website, Therapy is only open 12 hrs a week? Your entry and drink prices must be pretty stiff to make all this pay off.
The "Voice Of Bill" audio system, lights, fixtures, staff etc etc. Don't get me wrong I'd love to experience it but why only on weekends?

Possibly local noise ordinances are much more lax on weekends? Or, most people with money to spend at a club work Mon-Fri and wouldn't be able to party during the week...and still function the next day.

12 hours/week is plenty if you can fill the place. The club I work at is open everyday but the bills get paid when the place fills up Fri/Sat nights 11:30pm-2:00am. Thats only 5 hours of trade per week however those 5 hours can bring in $24k in sales.

Some clubs (even under 1k capacity) can easily do 30 to 50k in sales a night in alcohol depending on the tenants. I'd expect they are also getting a small (or large) cut of the door charges.

Those are great amps, probably some of the best ever built.
Im dying to try these amps out, Bill said go "old iron" so I scored these from the INDIANAPOLIS Colts Dome remodel.. they are heavy as all hell!!!
You are welcome, and thanks for the compliment. Means a lot coming from you, I am far from the "wood working machine" that you appear to be. My toolset is modest and amateur grade, and I work soooooo much slower than you do. Some sexy curved braces you are building there :clap:
You could of fooled me it looks great!! These are actually very therapeutic to build at slow pace anyhow.. Although the rac is on to get the rest of theses built.
Late to the thread and first post on the boards... But yeah I will give vital organs for those. Ran a little outdoor with a few EV cabs and two of these. Was pretty nuclear LOL.
