The Saucer showed the Charlie Sheen roast, with sound, tonight. They could have showed Monday Night Football with sound but chose not to.
You know what? It’s time for a quick rant. They want to be an “American restaurant” ala Gordon Biersch. That works for most of their locations but the Memphis Saucer is a block from Beale. It’s a huge venue unlike most of the other Saucers. It’s a bar not a restaurant. It’s time they realized that and stopped doing stupid shit like Charlie Sheen night.
How was the crowd? Well, the past three Mondays I’ve constantly had to maneuver to get out of people’s way so they could order. Not this Monday. It was deader than an doornail.
Saucer corporate: Not all your venues are the same. Take maximum advantage of each, instead of expecting them to all conform. Want profit? Show MNF. At least at the Downtown Memphis location.
