How Did they Manage to Buy a Bar Together in the First Place?
Anyone ever wonder about that? How did Mac, Dennis and Charlie ever have enough money to buy a piece of property, even in a shitty, dilapidated neighborhood in South Philly?

shareDennis comes from a wealthy family and is smart, so I think it's reasonable to think he had money at a certain point.
Charlie was probably living with his mother and whatever he was doing, he could have saved a bit.
Mac not sure, we just have to assume whatever he did was enough to save some.
Yeah, they were all like 30 years old when the show started. So, it makes more sense if they bought a bar together in late 20s.
shareYeah I guess that makes sense. And as far as Mac goes, they did say in the high school reunion episode that Mac used to sell weed, so that could be where he got some cash.
It's just hard to believe, with their personalities, that these three ever had their shit together enough to save up tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a business.
Who knows? The most reasonable explanation is that Dennis just embezzled the whole amount from Frank when he was young, but that wouldn't explain why Mac and Charlie had equal shares.
The premise of the show requires they own a bar. Don't overthink it.
If you want to ask a real life question, how how they managed not to lose it? They would not be capable of sustaining a business.
Well in the first season they actually seemed to care about the bar being successful. It never was, but they were actually counting up how much money they made, and coming up with schemes to get more people in the bar. It was only after Frank forced his way in with his millions and started bailing them out that they stopped caring altogether.
In their 20's before they had Frank, at least they tried. I can believe that they managed to at least tread water and stay in business for a few years.
