Could you make a few quid by charging people "corkage" for consuming their own alcohol on your premises?
Not thinking of starting a shebeen or anything but I'm into caravanning, & Irish sites are generally poor in terms of facilities. Some have a basic "common" room and the caravanning club I'm with occasionally have meets where we socialise and have a few tinnies (our own) etc.
Now as an incentive for the owners to do up a "lounge" for more comfortable socialising, could they charge punters corkage for the consumption of intoxicating liquor brought onto the premises by those punters. The owner wouldnt be selling any liquor, just effectively getting a charge to recoup his cost of providing the facility.
Any views? I presume the whole byo phonomenon (bring your own wine - big in Australia) must have covered this point?
