Seems as though the B&Ms around me are doing just fine, and there are several of them. I would say that 90 percent of them are under the same roof as a liquor store and owned by the same person. So I think that helps their revenue stream. I'm not sure how well they'd do without that aspect.

I've never been too fond of lounges, though. I'm just not a fan of sitting in a stuffy room filled with smoke. It's a bit claustrophobic. Luckily, Wichita has several bars with heated patios that I can go to year-round. And when it's above 45 degrees, you can find me on my back porch minding my own business.
