I'm opening a bar and grill

I'm really hoping that my experience with DJing all these years will make me a successful bar owner.  I have no experience running a bar, but have had experience owning a restaurant before.

Being on stage you get to see what all the customers are doing and enjoying, you also get to deal will bar managers, bartenders, and bar owners.  I would like to think I have picked up a great deal of knowledge on what to do and what not to do in order to make this a successful venture.

I'm starting another blog Opening a bar on the steps I'm taking to opening a bar and will be posting the good and the bad things I have to deal with.  So, if you have any tips for someone starting out I would be very appreciative for any help I receive.

Has anyone else every made this transition from Karaoke host and DJ to bar owner?  Do you have any tips for me?
