This book is very thorough in teaching you everything from A - Z on starting a bar. It even talks about getting the money for your business venture.

After reading this book I felt exhausted and decided that I wouldn't be opening a bar anytime soon...at least not for now.

This is definitely a book you need if you want to make sure you dot all of your Is and cross all of your Ts.

Note: Starting and opening a bar takes an incredible amount of work. (Actually all business take an incredible amount of work.) As with all other retail businesses, expect to be there 90% to 100% of the opening hours. Most bars are open 7 days a week, 14 - 16 hours per day. So...that's a lot of hours to have to be there. (Hence, my decision in not wanting to start a bar.) That's something you should consider before starting a bar or restaurant. Make sure it's something you're so into that you want to live, breathe, and eat!

Best wishes.

Book was in great shape. Helpful and informative. Written in a humorous and realistic language. Discusses both positive and negatives about being a bar owner.

I was impressed how fast it got here and I am excited that the book is a easy read... and easy to understand!!!

Just what I needed. I am researching starting up a bar and wanted to know what it involves. This book helped a lot.

A lot of good info that most people would overlook. Good reference book ,at least to steer you in the right direction

I suppose I should have listened to the title. A bartending magazine suggested this book, and I understood it would be helpful to even someone who has already had the experience of opening a bar and then a restaurant. I think it would be helpful to someone without those experiences. Other "Dummies" books have been helpful even with a little knowledge of the subject...not this one.
