Hybrid Lots - Retail x Restaurant?

Hi all - so at the moment I'm working on a new, relatively small communal lot.

So far I have a small florist, beside a bistro/bar type lot on the ground floor. Just a small speak-easy type space for locals to meet and brunch, share a bottle of wine etc.

I'd like your thoughts on how I can make this lot work. To my mind, if I make it a retail business (for the florist), the adjoining bar would be for show only. If I make it a restaurant, the florist is purely decorative.

If it is a retail business owned by my Sim and I place a bar, I assume that they will have to hire a mixologist? Ideally I'd like for the bar to be something which exists for passing Sims to enjoy and not necessarily contribute at all to the actual retail business. I guess the alternative would be to run both at the same time which sounds super stressful. 😂

I suppose my goal is to create something a bit more "real-life" where lots of different businesses are close together, almost to the point of overlapping and giving it a more accurate street-feel.

Any tips from you guys would be very much appreciated.
