Philippines Wine Supplier Yats Wine Cellars is pleased to share with you these articles about starting a business or establishing a career in wine
If you are thinking about opening a wine bar and stressing the funding, as you should be, pay attention to these steps. Someone else has already done a lot of the work for you. Capitalize on it.
Instructions
Things You’ll Need:
• An Old Bar
• Wine Crates
• A Couple of Wine Barrels
• Wine Racks
• Creative Eye
• And More
1.
There is bound to be a bar that has closed in your area. Dive bars started failing before the economy imploded; find an abandoned commercial space with bar amenities that will save you big dollars. Also, there will be an existing liquor license granted for the premises and that is huge.
2.
The space you are looking for: It should be long and somewhat narrow, a rectangular shape and less than 1,000 square feet. It should have men’s and women’s restrooms. Most importantly, it should have a built-in bar. You are going to save tens of thousands in renovation costs if you find this formula.
3.
You can tear out the back bar and set it up as you need to for the purposes of wine purveying, that’s an easy project. You can add and subtract refer units as necessary. Be sure to purchase all refrigeration units used at a restaurant wholesaler. Believe me, there is going to be plenty of great used equipment for sale over the next year.
4.
Don’t get cute and think about creating a food prep area and buying more equipment. You can serve a cheese platter, crackers, grapes and olives from behind the bar. People will be coming to socialize, enjoy a good glass and peruse the opposite sex. Stay focused.
5.
Dealing with the overall decor: Clean up the shell of the space and get rid of all junky beer bar related furnishings. If there is a carpet, it must go. Paint the walls a cream white. Stain the concrete floors, if you have concrete floors. Add a row of wine racks directly behind the bar stools for the regular retail wine selection. Add a couple of round tables in the rear with chairs. Stage a couple of old wine barrels and display empty bottles of your best wines along with candles.
6.
Last consideration: The lighting has to be nice. Pick some beautiful pendants for over the bar and make sure the lighting plan hits the tables but not everywhere else. Make the mood. All lights must be on dimmers.
