I had no idea Maggie Mae's was doing so well
Eddie V's is always up there, probably due to the amount of wine and higher ASPs
Iron Cactus is the highest on 6th street but I don't really consider them a bar (and I've argued with them about this)
The Ranch has a huge capacity and is very popular on west 6th and I'm not surprised by their number (2 entries because they revised it and remembered how much they really sold, lol)
Blind Pig is the highest of the true bars on 6th
Rain is tops for the gay bars
Many of the places on west 6th are doing very well
Perry's Steakhouse is strong for a newcomer but I expect them to last
Any pure bar below $20k should be on the watch list for closure. Light and Firehouse are my guesses.
And don't forget that since alcohol is taxed at 14% in the bars so drinkers downtown contributed $1.8 million to the government in May!
SAN
JACINTO BEVERAGE CORPORATI
$301,876
MAGGIE MAE'S - A BRITISH PUB I
$276,255

Austin's "ultra-lounge" Pangaea closed after being open less than 2 years. I didn't care that much for the place but I didn't hate it the way some people did. Although I didn't go often because I refuse to wait more than 7 min to get in to any place in Austin. There are so many great places to hang out in Austin so why would I wait to get in when there's a probably a good place right next door? Of course if your friends are inside this can policy can make you look like an anti-social butthead.
But fear not, Pangaea is going to reopen still under Michael Ault's direction according to this
this Statesman blurb.
Let's take a look at Pangaea's alcohol sales:

refer to fancy BBQ but I may be missing something.
My favorite is the brisker platter with mac 'n' cheese and waffle fries for $9 (lunch). Doesn't seem to fancy to me but just right, moist brisket. Beer is a bit pricey though.
Nice outside patio and live music.
I think this place will do well and plan to go back often.]]>

Fajita cart
Wurst cart (pretty good)
Carl's Hot Dogs (get the relish)
other hot dog guy in alley between Fado and Lucky Lounge
they got rid of the sign on Doggie Style hot dogs showing a dog about to take a shit, I may consider eating one now, depending on how drunk I am
So there isn't much, I think the Subway stays open until 9 or 10 but it sucks. Quizno's closes early. Cozzoli's sold my number to loser (personal finance advisor) and their food is terrible anyway and deserves to stay in the mall.
What else is good and easy downtown?]]>
