The cost for starting a bar varies quite a bit. If you want a small bar aimed at attracting customers in local neighborhoods, then the costs are a lot smaller than a dance bar a business district.
If you plan on leasing space to start your bar you can expect that with equipment, 6 months of expenses and employees' pay, any education you obtain, licenses, and drink and food inventory you can spend around $100,000 at a basic minimum. That's not even counting the insurance.
If you're building your own bar, then the costs can easily add into the $300,000+ range.
