The thing to do is get a Chinese girlfriend. Then make the bar out in her name.
A foreigner will not get a license to run a bar.
To run a bar in China:
First license: license to open a shop.
2nd license: to sell food and drink.
3rd license: you can sell beer.
4th license: You have pay state tax.
5th license: you pay local tax
6th license: they give you the fapiaou book.
7th license: health and safety.
8th license: sell smokes.
Good luck

can also open a wfoe but for food and beverage you have to invest 500000 RMB
but i guess thats what you have to calculate for your start up anyways.(depending on how big.
but you have to calculate salaries for at least 1 year, rent and stuff too
usually you have to calculate 1-2 years to make profit
