Transcript

Me and my boys just tier our life savings into this bad. This is day two of turning it into the best bar at Rutgers University. Last video, we asked you guys what color we should paint tier countertop and the walls. You guys absolutely flooded the comments. We went with red countertops, black walls. We started out by clearing the entire space. We removed the speakers, pulled all the nails out of the walls, vacuumed the entire floor to prepare for the transformation. Thankfully, my dad's owned a painting company for thirty years, so we had the perfect eye for the job. The red we chose came out perfect. It makes the bar really pop. We wanna put a massive massive mural on these walls. If you or someone you know can pull the job off, DM us right now or tag them in the comments. We still have a ton to do before our grand opening. Follow us to watch us completely transform this bar. Let's go.
