^ duffmans post should really be in green text^ investing or owning a bar is one of the worst financial decisions you could make unless you are excessively lucky or have awesome skills/perseverance and cooking skills. If you have been around the bars as much as I have been it goes through booms and busts food is good and patronage is low, everything is good... patronage picks up and the cook cant keep up or takes short cuts food quality goes down sometimes you get raw wings, cook more than likely quits and the customers go elsewhere. Things calm down as a new cook learns his trade and builds customers until he gets the skill to get overwhelmed.
