What is the population size?
What are age demographics for your city?
Are there any other lounges, bars, martini cafes?
Is there a mixology shop?
I would want to answer those questions first.
No one is driving 20 miles to get super wasted and drive home.
However, even though your audience is captive are they the right audience and are they the right size?
Young men want young women. Young women want an engaging place. Old men want young women. Old women want young men.
These are your profilings.
Do you have enough young men and women?
I would also want to know median distribution of income. Can they afford to drink at a club.
The last thing I would want to know is if DJs consider my city cool. Is there a music scene for a talent pipeline.
Lastly for real this time: do I renovate or build new.
It matters immensely in development costs.
I'd personally rather start an upscale mixology bar with an avant garde drink theme. Or even just a martini or whiskey bar. You need less people and space for that.
Edit: I've looked into starting an operation like this in the U.S.
It's like $250k+ here for a small place without 6 -10 months of A class rent and overheard covered.
You would need some serious money down for a decent place, which is part of the reason why upscale small sized specialty bars are popping up.
