Thinking About Buying A Martini Bar...

TaDoW · 03-11-2005

It's a fairly quiet bar in a local upscale neighborhood, their numbers look good for their history. Myquestion for you is this ... I haven't ever TOUCHED the food/beverage service industry. Now, obviously until I had a clue wtf was going on, I'd keep everything the same - bartender, manager, wait stafff, etc... have any of you ever owned a restaurant and/or bar? What are some of the pitfalls? Would you recommend actually working in the field/industry before ever trying to purchase a business of that sort?

Also - I've heard that WA state doesn't allow the same business to own both a porn company AND a company that serves alcohol ... can anyone shed some light on this?

thanks all =-)

P.S.: Happy Friday!
