Ok so here we go for our bar setup. YOU NEED TO BUY BARTENDING TOOLS!!!!!!!!
1. A martini shaker. - Oh the joy of these. They are very useful. From shaking martinis, to building the perfect cocktail and perfectly mixing the ingredients, these shakers come in handy!
2. A wine key. - self explanatory, you have to have on of these to open bottles of wine. Can also be used as a bar knife.
3. Glass ware. Have to have this. for a basic bar setup, have 2 cocktail glasses, 2 collins glasses, 2 martini glasses, 2 wine glasses, and last but not least, shot glasses.
4. A simple bar top to display your liquors and tools. Anything from a $500 bar to a free kitchen counter top!
5. Jiggers. These will help you measure out your spirits and mixers to the T. A perfect drink has to be perfectly mixed.
Ok so now you have all of the tools you need. Time to start buying alcohol. (better to pay a few extra $ to get premium)
