Interesting thought

I was part of an audio club here in the Carolinas that started about 22 years ago. It’s still goes on today but founded by a different group. Most of the club members were older people who have been veteran audiophiles for many years. They had establish systems many of them were doctors and lawyers and other professionals who had built up fairly prestigious set ups over the years. We tried to recruit younger people and managed to get a few. Most of them were interested in multi channel systems and had receivers and more modest set ups. They found it interesting but was out of their reach, and many of the newcomers didn’t last long who were younger. I also think the advent of the iPod and other smaller systems has led to more personal listening then a room full of high-end equipment. I think your idea about a audiophile bar Is a great. But I can see many challenges with the partying crowd. A good way to attract people.. most people Who hear a good set up always comment that they never realized how good it can be.. a great way to expose people to high end

One way NOT to encourage people about audio is to send them over to millercarbons house!  lighten up Francis!!
