Opening a Bar

So I have had discussions with friends and family that I would like to open a bar one day. So far I have 0% progress towards this goal 😮 haha.

Anyway I thought I would see if anyone had experience in doing such or have worked in a bar before and wanted to share thier opinions...just graduated college but I don't think I can work for someone all my life and would rather attempt to get this goal off the ground within a couple of years.

In Texas I know they require some lincenses but thats about it. Not sure what would be the biggest expense in this industry or any other steps for that matter. Look forward to your thoughts or random comments to help pass the day at work... 😈

1. receive bar/alcohol distribution license

2. buy/rent land

3. build bar

4. purchase essential bar machinery

5. hire girls with big breasts and a cute bar tender guy

6. buy a shotgun

7. profit

Oh and Shirley Temples, they're all the rave these days.

Heres some great advice..., Save your money and spend it on moving to another country and obtaining a citizenship. Then Open up your dream Bar there. Bars are a dime a dozen and in this economy. It is no time to be starting a business, unless you have suddenly stumbled upon a windfall.

That's just me though.

You don't need a licence to sell DRUGS 🙂

Three things that will get you plenty of customers:

Make sure you have sports events.

Make or hire someone to make you a drink/appetizers that will be the house special.

Buy a pool table, karaoke machine, and have contests!

Remember...don't drink and drive.

American needs another massive influx of the Irish then.

Hallucinating Mellon or how to mess someone up with one drink-

Layer 1 shots Midori, Bailey's, and Absinthe in a barrel glass. Light on fire. Blow out. Drink.

This is the first economic recession/depression where alcohol sales haven't gone up.

In Oregon, the alcohol sales are going up, at least that is what I heard on the radio.

If you want to do a bar right. Move to Germany and you'll become a rich man. 😉
I'm just frackin with you, partner. I simply meant to imply, with my first post, that this may not be the best time to invest in starting a business. There seems to be much gloom on the economic and political horizon.

Either way, a genuine suggestion...,go classy. Don't go for the neighborhood dive. Invest in imported beer and find the right bartender. Quality product brings quality customers and you definitely will have to get a venue license so that you can hire bands and draw more people and always remember...,location location location 😂
