ideas to perk up business

I work mostly Sundays from 6p.m. til close here in Wisconsin. And was wondering what I might do to increase business. I was thinking of wearing the top part of a medevial woman's dress. The one with the boob squishing bodice to set a mood of fun. And some drink specials to go with it. Any thoughts, Please its the worst night during the Winter.

I found that a "Sunday Cinema" night worked a treat to boost trade on the sabbath.
We'd put up a giant white sheet, borrow a mates DVD projector and show a mixture of extreme sports stuff/breakdancing/flair with a DJ playing to warm people up in the afternoon before settling into a trilogy of classic movies around a common theme (Jacobs Ladder, Donnie Darko and Butterfly Effect for instance).
It also had the advantage of keeping guests in the bar for hours instead of just a swift drink!

My Bar has Half off drinks. But this is in Chicago so anything Half off does well. haha

I would second the movie night idea. Movie nights are really popular here in Austin and I run once a week at my bar. It's a lot of fun.
