Answers: I'm planning on opening a bar soon and I've been trying to figure out the start up cost of just alcohol (beer, liqour and all the essintals) I realize this varies greatly but I'm opeing a small bar in Illinois and just a general idea would be very helpful.

Location, location, location. My answer would be for a fastpaced southwestern location; not necessarily a mid-western bar locale.
Contact your local alcohol supplier. They will know how much you need to get started based on where you are. They should also throw in some great percs too. I recently was at a bar where a beer company was giving away their logo'd pint glasses to customers. They also give them away for the bars to use for their beers, too. Liquor companies give away major amounts of branded merchandise....make your liquor rep help you out there. Good luck on the opening!
You've asked this question 3 times today.
Did you talk to your distributor? Nobody here knows the wholesale prices better than they do.
You don't say WHERE in Illinois it is. You don't say what the capacity is. You don't tell us the hours you are serving. You don't tell us if you're near a college campus, or are near a truck stop. You'll get different people who want different things, meaning you'll probably order more beer at a truck stop and more cheap vodka at a campus.
I bet you'll ask the same question, with the same typo, for a 4th time tomorrow.
