I Want A Place Where Every Maid Had A Garter Belt...

Hmm. I do remember reading about "theme resturants" in Japan like Anna Miller's, where the girls dress up in neat costumes and serve food...and attract people to buy food. Kind of like Hooters, but with maid costumes...

Anyways, with my need of a place that I can have fun at (fun being equal to a place that has good food, good beer, and good company), I keep thinking on the subject...and come up with my own theme place idea-Londonminium.

It's a mixture bar/coffee shop/resturant. You can pretty much wander in, find a booth or chair(s), look at the menu, and wait for a maid to come by and take your order.

Yes, a maid. In a full costume that leaves so very little to the imagination...and what it does leave to the imagination should be very tempting. (We'll have male butler-costumed waiters, too...just in case). They play a careful game, and it's fully understood that when you walk in, it's very much look, don't touch (the girls will get raises and increased salary on the basis of knowledge of a martial art, the more and the higher rank, the better...).

The booths can be screened off, and there are areas which are convienent for meetings. We're talking classic, Victorian-esque London coffee shop...everything should hint at this being London (or at least England), from the food to the coffee to the tea to the beer. Each place should have a theme to it that ties it into the area as much as to England/London. The San Francisco location, for example, should have a nautical theme to it, showing both cities as the part of a network of trade and ships that travel the world.

Oh, yes, the beer....we make it all on site, if we can. The place will have Wi-Fi, bookshelves (with places for people to leave and take books...), magazines, memorabilia, beer for sale, etc, etc...

I'm aiming at creating a "third place", where people can hang out, meet up, chat, hear live music (local jazz, rock, etc...), have a drink with friends and people after work, work on homework and meet up with clients. Oh, and have fun and a good time.

Not looking for investors yet...but I am thinking about this semi-seriously. Need a good location, might be in San Francisco or San Jose...hell, maybe even Portland or Seattle...
