My self I love going to bars that are more modern, there is one local one I go to called  the CODA , wow the amount revenue its generating . Good news is that is only open Thursday to Sunday. From 6 Pm till 3 Am.  I would say that type of business is a cash cowl. I love it

I am looking for as much advice as possible concerning starting, owning, and maintaining a bar/nightclub. Although I am a business major at Northern Illinois University and currently work in a bar, I understand that I am extremely green in this area. So, with your help, I am compiling as much information as I can so when the time does come I will be ready. Feel free to post any information, no matter how minute, you deem worthy of note. Thank you for your time and your consideration.


Im in the restaurant biz, and I can tell you that you`ll need a lot of of cash to start with. Next, you`ll need to get a LOT of permits. Don`t forget, in Illinois starting Jan 1, indoor smoking is no longer allowed. I would think carefully before opening a bar at this point in time...

im probaly the least qualified to tell you about business or nightclubs since im only 18 and dont even have an associates
 
but
any kind of business, you are going to need alot of foresight, planning, and information.
always think things 5 steps ahead.
and advertising, get some really good promoters. Better yet, do it with some of your friends. Club promoter is just as fun as being in the vip except you can choose which sexy ladies to invite to your club. try getting on tv. there are alot of people who are looking for something to do at night. modern club, im guessing start up is 200,000-400,000. up to 1-2 million if its a high class nightclub like on the vegas strip
 
and i realllllly really suggest moving to a big city suburb preferrably one with a college nearby. If you really want to get dirty, go to the college and crash every party you can find. and if your nightclub is near the college and all the partys are getting crashed, good chance you will get more customers. but, this is just an idea i got 10 seconds ago. lol. might work, might not. preferably do it behind the scenes so the kids dont know its you whos doing it. if they find out, you just shot yourself in the foot big time
 
bottom line advice from me is focus on having a comfortable club (like that other guy said if you attract the women, they will attract the men), very good marketing, at least 1 investor, im not sure how many you really would need, and a good location

Starting a bar/nightclub is good idea. I would have to agree. Such as magazines or associations. I have been very interested in the brewing industry. Present youth very trendy they like parties nightclubs.
