As stated, finding funding for any business - especially start-ups - is difficult. Do you have experience running a bar? If not, you might want to see if you can work for or volunteer a few nights a week at a local bar to gain some expereince.
In determining what it will take (capital) to get this off the ground, you would have to understand the daily, weekly, and monthly costs of running this business as well as how long it will take you to get to profitability.
Will you lease a space? What is it's monthly cost? Will you have to do renovations? What will they cost?
How much will the utilities costs (electricity, gas, water, trash)?
Can you get a license? What will that cost and how long will it take?
If you plan to sell drinks and the like - what will the equipment costs (dispensors, coolers, etc)? What about the products you plan to sell? Who will you get them from? How much will they cost? Will you have to pay up front?
Insurance - big expense but very needed. What types of coverage do you need to protect you and your business? How much will that cost?
Taking payments - how will complete sales? Cash only? Checks? Credit Cards? If credit cards, what processor will you use and what are the costs?
Staff - usually these can not be ran alone - how many people do you need to bar back or serve? What are going wage rates? What about other employment costs like FICA, Medicare, Unemployment insurance? Health insurance?
Marketing? What channels will you use? How much will it cost?
If you could develop a business plan that outlines these costs to include a break even analysis - then you will understand how much is needed in terms of capital.
As stated, find a local SCORE office or use their website. You could also find a local SBDC office and approach them. These are free services.
Also, to get a better idea of the costs and what is involved, search the web for free business plans. Here, you might find a business plan that is already created - thus, they have already done much of the reasearch on costs and expenses and what it will take to reach profitability.
When you have a better idea of what you need, then come back here and ask for help in finding funding - don't put the cart before the horse!
