Wasn't the bar tender able to move the bar stools up and down? That would probably be the closest to anything at the bar.

That said, "modestly profitable" is often insufficiently so...

Actually it's a Wizarding World of Harry Potter concept. The hog's head in the "Hogshead Pub" comes to life whenever they pull the tap on the signature beer (although I believe the bartenders can activate it whenever they want, as well).
That said, if you search "Adventurers Club" and "Mask Room," you can probably get an idea of what's going into DL. From what I've read, without the show however.

Agreed. Of course, in the case of 8-Traxx and Mannequins, "obscenely profitable" was also insufficiently so. Greed knows no limits.

I knew the Adventurers Club. The Adventurers Club was a friend of mine. Harry Potter, you're no Adventurers Club !
Oh Wow! Only in the Adventurers Club would someone willingly volunteer to be duct taped to a chair to help Fletcher Hodges with an electricution experiment. WE NEED THE CLUB BACK NOW!

Nothing going on right now. Either they're waiting until after the Easter rush or everything's on hold. We'll soon know.

Speaking of Universal, latest rumor making the rounds has the Jeckyll & Hyde Club (an AdvClub rip-off from NYC) replacing Red Coconut Club. No idea on the initial source here--tho Screamscape also seems to have heard a variation on this--so take it with a grain of salt, but it would be interesting to see Universal make a play for Club fans.

I didn't see this on screamscape.......Coconut seems to be the most likely Citywalk place to be worked on, it can be busy, but it mostly is empty.
It seems that the more specialized locations in Citywalk do better, so a club type experience would probably be slammed.
I think the mix of businesses is a lot better than PI had, especially when considering those that liked the club.

The Save PI blog reported the Latin quarter was going to be turned into a Brazilian steak house later this year but that no clubs were closing. Any links to the report about Red Coconut?

As I alluded to, Screamscape apparently heard J&H is looking to open somewhere in Orlando. The tip about Red Coconut wasn't from an online source (at least that's not how I heard it). Strictly rumor, no inside info on this one, but my source is pretty tight with the entertainment/acting scene in town.
Not really, been at least 3 years, probably 4 or 5. And as Wilson said, it can be popular, but more often seems pretty dead (it can't ever seem to decide what it wants to be). Also, RCC and Rising Star are the only Universal-run venues, may be looking to go third party like Disney.

Interesting, I always thought Groove was Universal run.
Also, chek out this old WDW magic thread on Coconut location and J&H http://forums.wdwmagic.com/showthread.php?t=48593

While Margaritaville, Pat O'Brien's and Fat Tuesday are franchises, they are all owned and operated by Universal. This includes The Groove, Latin Quarter and Bob Marley's too.

Oh man...they have a Fat Tuesday?? Guess where SWMBO and I will be spending an evening on our next adults only trip.....!!!!!

Funny, maybe got the idea 6 years ago. From that same thread, I think Uni missed a gold mine letting Dave & Busters go down the street rather than somehow shoehorning it into CityWalk.
Interesting, I always thought Margaritaville was more independent than that (had an acquaintance get a manager position and shoot up the corporate ladder there).
What about Bubba Gumps? Could they theoretically share kitchen space with J&H?
It's just a walk-up bar, FYI. Good place to start the evening, tho.
