Go for it. I'm pretty familiar with the bar business in the city. I dont buy that city ordinances dont allow a bar in that location and the that the owner is doing the city a favor and shutting down the ACE. ABC wouldnt have issued a lic for the location in the first place if it wasnt legal to so (I know from first hand experience). Now, they do have a 41 lic which legally is supposed to generate at least 50% of their business from food..... but that is rarely enforced unless there have been problems at the bar.
Edit - just for the record. I have no inside info on what is happening. Just my opinion.
I think you misunderstood me. They can't have a bar in the Armory building. He wants to own the bar where Ace is now. That way he can keep all the money for himself, especially if he makes it Kink-themed.
since he owns that building too, he can refuse to renew the lease when it comes up. That is what he's doing. He's certainly not doing the City any favors, nor any to the moto-riders therein.
