You buying? I'll patronize the "Desert Rat Inn"...Who posted about it being for sale and interested in it?

I didn't but Ray has signs everywhere saying that for $240,000 you get it all. That includes everything in it and the out buildings but there is a $2,000 a month rental fee. Not sure but I guess that means the house and lot???
Ray said he is finally had enough and is too old to keep it up. He wants to spend time with his family & grandkids and relax more.Plus I want to know why they are selling. Guess I'd have to ask. Reason is son wants to start his own, but it would seem to me to make more sense to buy an established place. With someone who has been an employer.
You mean your youngin' son? Oh hell no. A bar is no business for someone still wet behind the ears. There is a reason these bars keep going back on the market. I see a bar as being a possible business for someone retired who doesn't need the income to support a family... and by the same token that someone has to be someone who doesn't have to be home with his family... because he never will be.Couldn't afford it all, but was looking for the person that was interested. I would never change the name. Bad mojo. The rental could be a plus or minus and negotiable, no doubt. Plus I want to know why they are selling. Guess I'd have to ask.

He would be more fixer upper, oveseer or caretaker as I see it. BBQ'R on weekends and bouncer at nights, knows little about running a business. He has a day job right across the street.
Good luck with that... I know a few bar owners and previous owners in this area and its just not a nice home life at all.
Yup. I thought it would be 'fun' to own a bar. So I bought one with a restaurant too. It was anything and everything but fun; worst business decision I ever made. You never own a bar..a bar might own you though.
I've lived and worked in the county my half century plus..and when I bought a bar I, unfortunately, had gone too much on the memories of how the bar business in this county was once king; there were more bars than churches. Those days are a quarter century past gone.
The only good thing that came out of my bar-owning experience was some of the people I met and friends I made.
What ever happened to the Rendezvous?
Why? Are you a dyke?
Hardly.
Man hands.

Hey Desert... have your son read this Thursday's edition of The County Times newspaper. Perhaps Ray's interview in the "Proposed 10 cent per drink tax" article will give him some insight into why so many seasoned bar owners have their bar up for sale.
