4.0 out of 5 stars Very good book, but there is room for more
Ok, If just half the clubs in this town were to read this book, they would probably stay in business longer than a year. This book is very well thought out and covers alot of little gotcha's in designing a night club. Gotcha's that in my experience most club owners ignore or don't know about, and then wonder why nobody comes to their clubs.
My only critism is that...

1.0 out of 5 stars Only worth the £11 I paid for it....
When I paid £11 for this book I thought I would only get £11 worth of information...now that I have finished the book I think I was correct.

This book seems to have been put together by some one with no first hand knowledge, infact 3rd hand. Every topic is covered in an overview with no specific details, names of brands, costs, etc...which is the main reason...

My only critism is that the author could have explained things further if the book had more pages. He summarizes a ton of infomation well to fit in the books alotted length but really on the business side of things, I suspect he could have filled another book altogether.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but could be better, February 1, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Setup and Operate a Successful Nightclub: An Entrepreneur's Guide to Running a Profitable Club Operation (Paperback)
This book covered much of the same info as in other start-up books for bars/clubs, but definately points you in the right direction for things to think about and consider in owning or starting a nightclub. Aside from the numerous grammatical errors I am pleased with the book. This book should have been proofed better before publishing, I found an error about ever 10 pages (along with some strange wording). I would like to see a bit more on financial price breakdowns and models along with more info on contacts and ways to go about getting the tools/contacts you need. All-in-all this was good brain food for thought.

This book seems to have been put together by some one with no first hand knowledge, infact 3rd hand. Every topic is covered in an overview with no specific details, names of brands, costs, etc...which is the main reason most people buy this book. I believe this book could have been better if some one googled and compiled all the information.

A well laid out book that walks you through every piece of the process for what it takes to start a nightclub. A must read for any one thinking about this as a business.

1.0 out of 5 stars I own a bar, January 9, 2008

This review is from: How to Setup and Operate a Successful Nightclub: An Entrepreneur's Guide to Running a Profitable Club Operation (Paperback)
Before I actually owned my bar I bought this book. This book is a joke and is good for laughs. I would suggest this book for someone who wants to work in the nightclub industry(bartender)but not for someone wanting to open their own bar. Its way too general and Id really feel sorry for any entrepreneur who used this book as a guidebook.

This review is from: How to Setup and Operate a Successful Nightclub: An Entrepreneur's Guide to Running a Profitable Club Operation (Paperback)
Excellent book for anybody who hopes to someday open and run their own nightclub or bar. This book talks about what it takes to open a club and run one. Being a bar owner is not as easy as it seems and this one tells you what you need to know. The appendix, with many drink recipes at the end of the book was also very helpful and educational about mixing drinks. This is definitately a must read for anyone in the bar business or hoping to get into it.
