Just like the title says. What are some ways you can make money at a bar other than selling booze and food. All I can really come up with is selling ad space and renting out the bar for special events.
 
panels surrounding the dance floor with advertising on them would be pretty lucrative id think
 
Jukebox, ATM, theme/party nights so u can charge a cover, pool table, beer pong leagues at ur bar,....
 
ATM machine with outrageous service fees, and don't take credit cards or always claim your system is "down", cash only

a mechanical bull, let females ride free though. female riding it and looking all incident sexual, bouncing around will = tons of $ from men folk standing around

an old school jukebox

A pool table and darts, rent by the hour

valet parking

scantily clad waitresses, make them give half their tips to the house

Dude gonna be coughing up a lot of money wit some of these ideas.
 
Designated Driver service

Professional Photography drunk girls pay for photos

ATM Machines

Raffles where you keep 10-20% of the dough

Merchandise "I Got F'd Up at [Your Bar Name]" Tees

depending on where you stay get a slot machine

Put vending machines in the restrooms (condoms, no-hos, etc.)
 
walk in with a gang of "little people"

let everyone know that a '****** toss" is $200/hr

don't forget to bring helmets
 
You own a bar? Why are you asking? You just some shady dude looking to do a quick hustle inside random bars or are you a bar owner or someone who generates revenue from the business of the bar?
 
make an app for your bar that allows you to contact each seat or table or post a feed anonymously (or not) live. it would prolly attract a lot of prostitutes and drug dealers tho. Which has been suggested here as well

This too. Do all the big events


My parents' godchildren own a restaurant, Everytine there's a PPV boxing event they have it and give you a pretty big plate of food with a drink (free refills too, I think), all for $15.

Place doesn't sell beer/liquor, But if it did it would make more money.

OP, having a few TV's would help.

isn't it also the bar owner's responsibility that their customers don't drive intoxicated?
 
-arcade machines
-those machines with prizes hanging inside them (ipod, headphones,dvds)
-atm machine
-jukebox
-tvs with PPV events
-maybe a hookah bar section out back
 
Make sure u know that you'll attract enough people for ppv events....it cost more to show ppv events at a bar than at home

It's a good thing you don't run a bar.
