We've discussed the economics of bike shops here before and what must be done to make them a profitable endeavor.
I hope Bikes on Mass Ave., soon to be Mass Ave. Bikes & Brew, has figured it out. I had the idea for a brew-pub and espresso machine next-door to a climbing gym many years ago. Always worried about traffic moving in the wrong direction (beer first, then climbing), presenting liability concerns. IMO the bike shop is a natural and perhaps safer alternative.

It's an interesting idea, hopefully it works out... I suspect you have to really nail the coffee/brew aspect, and have that able to support the business when needed.
Right. The social scene is the money-maker. The bikes littering the place is the draw. Almost like one of those coffee shop/art galleries where the art gallery is a way to get a free and rotating selection of decorations for the cafe.
