This book is a very easy read, and highly informative. There's plenty of ideas and the writer has considered many of the "little things" that make a big impact, as well as the fundamentals!

Just don't look at the cover (the cheeziest cover I think I've ever seen on a book; I literally had to tear mine off to avoid laughing or having any of its "uncoolness" rub off on me).Anyway, I own a pretty sucessful bar in Santa Barbara California (Indochine on State Street) and bought this book when I was reading up in anticipation of starting a new restaurant (w/ a bar in it).While the book assumes the reader knows little or nothing about the business, it has a wealth of information for readers of all levels of experience. I was apprised/reminded of numerous aspects of the biz that caused me to tweak my own bar (to largely sucessful result). Quite simply, this book made/saved me significant money.I highly recommend.Christian Hunter

This book is both intensely informative and remarkably well crafted. While Fier's book assumes the reader has no knowledge of the Bar business, it is written intelligently and without condescension. Like any good textbook, _Start and Run a Money-Making Bar_ starts at the beginning and offers a thorough education covering all aspects of the Bar owning business.
An easy read full of information a real value for you.
