#12I would not pursue this idea.
Could you elaborate why not?
Re: Is this an idea worth pursuing or not?
#13I love it! Keep me posted if you ever get a beta out
For sure. What's a good email address I can reach out at?

#14Love the idea! I think the biggest barrier would be neighbors who do not want parties in their neighborhoods. If you could find a way around that, that neighborhood would be a hit with millennials and gen z.
Thank you! And yes, those concerns are valid. Though I'm envisioning the use case to be wider than just a party. It could be hosting a book club, kids play date, a movie night etc. Would you be interested in beta testing it?

#15You’ll face a high regulatory and liability burden, but neither of those are insurmountable (note that I am not a lawyer or financial advisor and this is not legal or financial advice). Liquor license to serve drinks is the first that comes to mind. Then there’s the risk factor that running a bar involves dealing with unsavory people (people who start fights, harass, other levels of petty crime and violence). You als…
Yeah, your right. There are certainly some regulatory challenges with liquor and if a host a serving food. But to get around the liquor license issue, it could be byob. The events also do not necessarily have to involve a party - it could be other events focused around a theme or activity.
Bouncers for hosts would probably not be necessary. I've used airbnb experiences before and this is basically the same concept. Airbnb doesn't have bouncers for their hosts. The ability to leave reviews by both hosts and guests would deter bad behavior. But this is an issue I need to dig deeper into.

#16How is this different from simply inviting your friends for a party?
The idea is that you can open the app at any time and see what events are happening IRL in your location. Would that be something you'd find useful?

#17No
Re: Is this an idea worth pursuing or not?
#18Potential issues? What potential issues could there be with people running faux bars in their own home without a liquor license?
Why not go all in. Run an app to let people invite strangers into their house and do major surgery/critical care on them. Call it AirAandE.
After all the obvious evidence to the contrary, why do people think this "who needs laws what could go wrong" approach will work out?

Totally right, regulatory and liability burden take the huge part of cost.
However, Consumers can take some of these responsibilities, That's why the price of service mentioned by OP can be less expensive.

The sassy tone is really not necessary. Also, airbnb's entire business is predicated on inviting strangers into your house. Do you have anything else?
