Go Big or Go Broke

I am currently working on creating a lounge for student in a college town where the only two places to "chill" are a pizza place and the bowling alley (pretty advanced town, I must say.). Conceptual design was a snap and finding a business savvy partner who has the blessing of the town was even easier. The problem I am running into, interestingly enough, is trying to scale back my ideas into a more affordable pay scale without losing the aspects of the business that were going to make it a hit. I need to tone down the technology and find a smaller space in order to pay for the idea, but now I feel that I am no different than every other little establishment in this town.

Who has a half a million dollars I can borrow?
