Op-ed: Mason City has always had one troubled bar (by One-Eyed)

In regards to Alley Katz:

I’ve only ever been to Alley Katz on one occasion, I think it was shortly after they first opened. There were some local guys on stage playing rock and roll music. It was awesome, I love live music! I ran into a lot of friends and acquaintances that I haven’t seen in a while. Quite honestly, I had high hopes for this place.

For whatever reasons, I guess I never got around to going in there again. I visit the bars that are closer to my home. Plus I usually walk, which is a big deciding factor. Cabs are pretty busy on weekends and there have often been times where they’ve told me it could be an hour or more before they could pick me up. So I stick to whats within a short walk.

Also my friends no longer hang out there either.

I’m guessing that Alley Katz no longer plays rock and roll.

Many people are hoping that they lose there liquor license and shutdown. I don’t give a heck either way.

But know this – Closing down Alley Katz will not solve any problems. They will just shift.

Mason City has always had one troubled bar and its been in various parts of town. They shut down after a while and the clientele move elsewhere.

What bar is closest to Alley Katz? That would be my first guess for the new trouble bar.

But it doesn’t have to be.

The way you run your business has a lot to do with what types of people you will attract. If you have bartenders or waitstaff that are abusing drugs and alcohol then you are gonna have customers who are into the exact same thing.

And if you play country music on the jukebox you’re gonna find yourself with a bar full of beer drinking good ol’ boys.

Whats on the jukebox at Alley Katz?
