Colloquy Grog Shop

Company Summary

Colloquy Grog Shop is a bar/coffee shop designed to bring together singles and create an environment that allows people to comfortably meet each other.  This is done through a structured conversation system that eliminates uncertainty regarding the social dynamic by creating structure through the use of conversation topics assigned to each table.  This structure allows people to be feel more comfortable in meeting new people at the bar/coffee shop because the uncertainty of how to act is eliminated, the structure guides the interaction with the people at the table. 

The Colloquy Grog Shop will be set up in the hip, upcoming industrial area of NW Portland.  This area is a rapidly emerging night stop for the targeted demographic.  Because the rented space will be an old warehouse the lease costs are quite reasonable.  The tradeoff for the very reasonable lease is slightly higher tenant improvements required at start up.
