What would be the most all around beneficial way to open a bar on my own private property?

I want to open my bar that is already functioning on my privately owned farm. I would like to make a profit but it doesn’t have to be much. I also want to make it like a country club which would allow me to decide who comes in and who doesnt. I would like to serve food as well as liquor and beer. I am unsure of what avenue to take to get this ball rolling.

You will need a liquor license from the state: https://dor.georgia.gov/alcohol-licensing
You would need a food sales license from the state: http://agr.georgia.gov/foodsaleslicense.aspx
And you would need to 1) be allowed by your municipality's (or county's: whomever is responsible for the following where you are) zoning to have a business there, and 2) get any and all necessary permits or authorizations (e.g. pass a sanitary inspection; get a C of O for the premises; etc.) from your local government. 
This is not something you undertake casually. If you want to pursue this, retain a local attorney to help you--not a litigator (someone who sues) but someone who helps local businesses with their licensing, etc. needs.
