<a href="http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=61103&highlight=business+wife">This thread</a> in tilted finance from a little while ago has a pretty in depth discussion on purchasing a retail kind of business. Obviously there are special legal issues with owning a bar vs. a convenience store, but it should still provide you with a lot of information about buying vs. leasing, things your accountant should look into, etc.

Are you a regular there? If not you should check out the vibe of the bar and make sure you don't want to change it too much. Buying a biker bar and turning it into a place selling strawberry dacharis would be a good way to piss off the existing clientele.
