I was looking into starting my own business, opening up a sports bar! How and where do I begin?

I met this guy one night out with friends. We have been talking on the phone and texting for awhile and finally got together for the first time last night. We went to a sports bar for some dinner and drinks, and while we were sitting at the bar and getting to know each other, he slipped his arm around the back of my bar chair, and it sort of touched my back, then he grabbed my knee as he was joking about something. Then, later on, some really cute guys walked in and they kept staring at me, and he was like "I am going to crack their heads in." I didn’t even notice the guys were staring at me until my date pointed it out to me and was all defensive and territorial about me. I was having a really good time with him until his body language and the comments about those guys occurred.

The most embarrassing thing happened today. My dad took me and my older sister out to lunch. Well my dad walks into the resteraunt talking on the phone really loud and we were sitting in the middle of the room. My dad had his chair turned out talking on the phone loud, legs open like he was in a freaking sports bar. I wanted to die. Then when the waiter came my dad sat there for ten minutes making the waiter stand there because he couldn’t find something with both a burrito and beans (we were eating mexican) and he was complaining it wouldn’t be enough food for him omg! Anyways finally he orders and my dads friend who he hasn’t seen in a while comes over and they are sitting there talking all loud and what not and I’m trying to figure out WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU WE ARE IN A FLIPPIN’ RESTERAUNT YOUR A 43 YEAR OLD MAN NOT A 5 YEAR OLD USE SOME MANNERS!! I love my dad but now I’m kind of afraid to go out to eat with him. I don’t know what to do.

I’m 23 years old, and FOR NOW, I am still living with my parents. That’s my grandmother, my aunt, and Godzilla… I mean, my mom. Now, everyone in my immediate family makes me want to pick up something heavy and throw it at them, but my mother is by far the worst. I can list almost all of the irritating and maddening things she does that make my life a living nightmare, but I’ll keep it to a minimum of four. First off, whenever I want to go somewhere special to chill (and yeah, I still have to ask her if I can…), or if I want to do anything remotely fun, she comes up with every reason possible to make me stay home and tells me I’m wrong for going to the same places over and over again; when in fact, I don’t! She does this every time. For example, there’s a sports bar I like to go to in Dallas called the Regal Beagle. It’s a pretty chill place for the most part… perhaps a bit of a dive, but… what can you do? I know a lot of the bartenders there, and they all seem cool to me whenever I’m there. My mother, basically, hates the fact that I have a social life, and frequently says that "people who like to hang out a lot are thugs…" Okay, I’m a thug for wanting to have a little fun, freedom and frivolity? When I try to explain my case (which gets very heated VERY quickly), she starts yelling "Go ahead! Go to the Regal Beagle, wander around and look stupid like you always do at that place! That’s why they’re tired of seein’ your ass now! Stay at home!" So much for reasoning, huh? Another thing is that she sucks at those ‘little talks’ we have. For example, whenever I’m feeling like my best friend is distancing himself from me (something that has been on my mind for the longest time…), my mom isn’t the one to help me feel better. She says things like "I don’t wanna keep hearin’ these sob stories about how your friend may be abandoning you! He ain’t your boyfriend! Shit, you need to focus on getting a girlfriend!" I’m always looking for someone to date, but what she doesn’t get is that my friends matter to me a lot, too; and it hurts badly when I think I’m being treated wrong by them. Plus, she’s always, ALWAYS talking (or shouting) over me when I try to express my opinion on anything! I can’t ever get a word in inch-wise. Very irritating and rude. And the biggest thing that really gets me pissed? In December, I signed a lease to a new place and I have a roommate named Laura. The apartment is 3 flat (6 between us two), and features a fireplace, two huge rooms with two huge closets, and a poolside view. It’s amazing. However, it’s been two months and I haven’t gotten the chance to move into it yet. Why? Because my mom insists that I get furniture first, and she thinks my roomie is someone who’s out to boss me around and take advantage of me. Laura is my friend, and I know she wouldn’t try anything. My mom really needs to realize that I’m an adult now, and I’m not going to listen to every little thing she says (or yells) anymore. Am I right or wrong on this one?

A sports bar that has plenty of TVs. Although most are tuned to a sports event, at least one screen should shows something that doesn’t involve a ball, for that un-sportsmanlike friend who gets mercilessly dragged along for the evening. One with a beer selection that is huge, the happy hour’s a steal, and the kitchen makes first-rate bar food, including sandwiches and the usual wings and fries. — James

A coworker of my husbands said that he took his family there and they have highchairs. not that i want to take my duaghter there but i thought that it was a sports bar atmosphere for adults ( mainly men)
