Upstart Guide to Owning & Managing a Bar or Tavern (ISBN 0936894679)

Roy is the Man!:
Okay, so I do think this book needs to be revised for 2002, as it is a few years old and times have changed (mostly regarding funding and approaches), but as for a book of basic principles I was extremely impressed. Being a new-comer to the industry this book covers many aspects of operating a bar that a business owner should know, or at least pay attention to. This book was also very well written. If more people ran their bars utilizing some of the points in this book there would be better places to go and work... which is okay for me since no one in my town seems to know how to run a real bar/lounge...

OUTDATED:
This book has some good tips, but it's outdated & reigon specific to New England.

Good source of Info:
This book helped me earn an A on a college economics class business plan!

Excellent Information and Point of View:

the how to's of pub ownership:
This is not a great book because I think there's too much info here about very tedious things, but its myu opinion and if you the reader want a very detailed inclusive type of book then this is a higher rated guide book for you.
