Shoot, I might just open the front part and rent the back two sections out for a film studio or something like that. Or an office for promoters and they can pay me in promotion...
Really, though, if I was able to get this space, I'd do a whole different concept, maybe a caribbean club or something like that.

Seriously, though, anyone want to or know someone who wants to invest in something like this? I'm not financially able to do it alone, but I know I could make a club like this jump. Live bands on Thursdays, DJ on Friday and Saturday. Plus, its a great location for the crowd. Don't believe it can jump? Check out Skully's on a Sunday. It gets jam packed and the west indian crowd will support a club that is dedicated to them and their interests.
Maybe even use one of the other two spaces for a dedicated caribbean restaurant.

I'm def interested. I have potential investors, but they are hesitant because its in like 2 days! Columbus could greatly benefit from a carib/latin/mexican place. With good food as well! Hmm. I get so giddy just with the thoughts!

It's a shame... police scanner listeners are losing a valuable source of entertainment when Club Ice closes.

So someone could have got this for a $1. Anyone remember the Simpsons where Bart bid $1 on an old warehouse?

I mean, I have no idea what I'd do with the space, and any renovations I did would have to come from Ikea, but "Owned my own night club" would be a great resume line ;-)

From the Columbus Dispatch...Club Ice auction falls flat as bidders keep distance
By Mark Ferenchik
Club Ice was to be sold yesterday, but when the 2p.m. sale started, auctioneer Chris Davis quickly called it off.
No bidders.

I am surprised no one bought it for the liquor license and equipment. My guess is that there is some stipulation that you take over some long disadvantageous lease at the building.Yes, that is the issue. You're not buying just the assets, you're buying the business - bad location and all, haha.

Well, sure. Revamp every less than desirable block in downtown Columbus and it becomes prime real estate.
