The bar that me and my crew hang out at, Brian Borus, is closing. It is located in an apartment complex that went condo and the condo association doesn't want a bar there so they bought the business to close it. It will become some sort of crappy retail space. So, where do we move to? We go out a lot, and we spend a lot of money. We debated over the weekend what demands we should put for the new hang out to acquire our business. (We really spend a lot of money at bars) One bar manager has already offered us ten% off of our tabs. We also debated buying our own bar.
Use the comments to put in your input into what bar should be our new hang out. We would prefer to stay in the Short North. Food is always a plus, as is a large amount of bar space. (We would rather sit at the bar than at tables) Also, and I hate to admit this being the good liberal I am, some hotties on the staff doesn't hurt either. Anyway, any ideas are appreciated.

Reality bites and all that.
Who offered the discount... I'm very susceptible to coupons and such...
We all kinda know several of the local holes (too) well, but there are also several we don't know... should we recruit a scouting party and do some taste-tests?
I agree that staying in the bubble is good form... but is that new Surly Girl going to be too far? It's worth a shot if only because of the food at Betty's and the chance to forge a new spot as it opens... I can't remember what the bar actually looks like from the previous owners.
on others:
1. Macs... lots of good food, but lots of smells that stay with your clothes, bar rarely has space needed... good servers and staff
2. SNT... we all have been to it a million times and still frequent it... but it has an existing crew and is hit or miss on foods
3. 670Cap stuff... nah
4. Union Station... cheap and food... but somehow I just don't see this working out...
5. Press G... good food, occassional cuties, great location... tiny bar space
6. Rossi... I just don't know...
7. Zenos and B. Hamptons... close to me... far from others... great backups though for winter nights... and both have pool tables/food/totally random crowds. I'm so lazy Hamptons will likely be a filler for me until the BBclan votes.
8. Mike's no-name bar... good on occassion, but I'm afraid to go regular... p-man does have quite a nice vernacular and wardrobe...
9. Skullys... hard to imagine... no food?
10. R Bar in Arena district... off beaten path in high turnout zone... is near food, random crowds, bad on parking... but I actually have been a couple times and enjoyed...
11. Spice... not my crowd... but some servers we know have popped up there.
If the new bar must be in the SN, then my opinion consists of the following:
SNT: No
Macs: No
Union Station: Maybe
Barley's: Maybe
Frog Bear: No
Byrgandy Room: Maybe
Novak's: Maybe
St. James's: Yes
Mike's: Maybe
Rossi: No
Press G: Maybe

Needs: Bar Space, Television, Someone to tell me which bar is selected
Wants: Smoking Area, Windows
TV size, number and ability to control channels is definitely a plus. My only real gripe with Novaks is the plastic cups and bottles... hate those. Parking can also be an issue. St. James is a good bar, but I haven't been there in a long time.
Once Turkey is turned into sandwiches... let's get scouting. I'm up for hitting Park Street soon, is it live music during happy hour? every night? It is close to spice, so occassionally we can sneak out and see the yups in line to remember the good lives we left behind. I'm up for trying novaks as well... I'll bring a paint can...
When is the next scouting party?
