But having a Band/Comedian in a sandwhich bar, maybe appealing to some but how long would the idea last for. Also if you are looking not only to pulling in something unique to the place, but also have a good turn around. Then having a Band/Comedian is not a good idea at all, as revenue will drop.Guitar hero would win in a sandwich bar, everyone at uni seems to love it, even those that don't like games/geeking. Theres a couple of xbox's on a campus bar at my uni, which is always popular.
Also i'd totally use a wifi s'wich place. Starbucks is often very expensive for some students, many prefer a local spoons etc. But if you can match the Starbucks feel with spoons prices you'd do alright.
Local bands/comedians also win as they bring customers that follow that specific band, and therefore buy drinks/food - that's a regular in most uni towns.

Free wifi is a good start, but look at other things that most places offer and see whats pulling their punters in. You can't just keep to students either, as they are only a small % of your clientel.
