"I have not worked in a bar but I frequent bars/lounges in London which are owned by friends of friends. "
I would ask them for a job.
You want to know every single piece of the biz before getting in. Or else you will get robbed blind.
I am talking deliveries, staffing, payroll, every single goddamn job that needs to be done (bartender, bouncer, waiter, bar back, janitor etc), food, how to fix the ice machine etc.
Like I said on the other thread, "Graveyards are filled with guys who said, "Lets open up a hip nightclub!!!""
And make sure you actually want to spend your life in a bar.
Because that is what you will be doing; spending your life in a bar.
"It's a huge gamble but if you can pull it off the lifestyle would be every players dream."
Or every players nightmare.
Dash's tips are great and all but more importantly:
Make sure that you make money.
