Hi Clayton,

there are different ways you can do it.

Nowadays it's becoming way easier with social networks and the fact that people have a wide access to the internet. You could:

Create a website so that you can give a bit of information about the place. Usually this is done for restaurants only instead of bars, but you could try that as well.
Create a Facebook profile. I think this is one of the best ways to advertise a place. This way you could add pictures of the restasurant and daily dishes, communicate information and answer to possible questions, publish the menu and so on. Ask your friends and friends of friends to like the page so that it can be shared and spread around.
Register your restaurant on websites like TripAdvisor.com and ask clients to give reviews and feedback.
TV, radio commercials, newspapers, flyers. These can be a bit more expensive and might not get you the results you want but could also reach a targeted audience.
Promotions. To attract more and more clients, you can try and make monthly or weekly promotions with drinks and dinner specials, lunch offers or anything like that.

Before you get started with one of these methods I think you should ask yourself who you're aiming at: Who's the audience? Who are the people you want to attract to your business? This way you can find a better methods to reach them. However, whatever you do, I suggest you to remain always consistent and full of new ideas. People like to go to places that are always active and innovative. Here's a good page to check out in case you might want some more tips and advice. Best of luck!
