To open an 80s themed pub?

I have an opportunity to buy a disused building that was previously a social club.
It's a good size, I grew up in the area where this building is and have very fond memories of it as a youngster back in the 80s.

I would theme it completely as I remember It, old style jukebox and bandits, wooden everything, snooker table where you pay for the lighting and a pool table where it's 10p play.

It also has a skittle alley and huge function room. The building is in fair order, leaking roof etc as it was abandoned. I don't want to ramble on so I'm sure you get the gist.

Would you be interested in such a place? This isn't going to hit home for a LOT of mumsnetters but does anyone out there get what I'm thinking?

There's a reason the social clubs closed.

It doesn't matter what you'd like

Or we'd like

You need to do some robust, local market research to find out whether there's a niche for it AND whether the numbers add up to make it profitable

Forgods sake don't put your efforts and cash into this on the basis that you'd like it and MAN approves

You need to figure out does your idea look feasible!
