    I'm the manager of a bar and I was wondering if a live cam of the bar would be something yall would watch? Yay or nay?

    I guess before you went out if every bar had one you could check the feeds to see where you wanted to go.

    I think it would be pretty funny, especially if you could fix it for some way that the viewers could interact with the drunk people and get them to do shit.

    Yea it is a good idea. I thought of this back when I was bartending, but the owners were too cheap.
    You should only have up live on Fridays and Saturdays tho, unless you are really busy other nights.
    One club in Houston, The Roxy, Has a cam up on weekends on JTV.

    Only if it's a strip club.

    I mean, personally, I'm not staying in, just to watch streaming video of others going out. lol

    Sounds like it could be fun, thered be some drunks playin up to the camera. My local has a camera wired up so people in the back bar can see the action in the front if theres a band playing and theres always a bit of, "hey look at me im on the TV!" very lol worthy.

    I told my buddy he should do this 2 years ago. Point it at the dance floor/stage area. Maybe even have karaoke once a week.

    Ludo always comes off like a loser on tv.

    I would think the cam would be a negative more than a positive.

    I mean it could provide entertainment given the setting of the bar and typical crowd are capable of doing crazy things and possibility of hot chicks flashing cams.

    On another note, could be sweet for locals as well in determining if the bar is/isn't crowded enough for them to want to go on a given night.

    people who are young and cant get into bars and are curious as to what they have to look forward to or loners or other people would probably want to watch it

    i dont remember where it was, maybe ricks in ann arbor, or somewhere in madison. but one bar had a camera outside of the bar so that you could check and see what the line was like. can imagine that this would be a great addition and also great gimmick to bring some publicity to the bar.
