MODERN BAR DESIGN, LAYOUT AND LOCATION

 BAR DESIGN LAYOUT AND LOCATION - The restaurant bar is like the fun-loving sidekick to the more
orderly dining room. Whether guests are joining you for post-work cocktails or Sunday Night Football, you
want to provide an appealing ambiance (along with great food and drinks). Your restaurant bar design can
determine whether your customers will hang out for hours or leave after one quick drink. Regardless of
whether you prefer fancy or strictly functional style, there are a few key factors all restaurateurs must
consider when it comes to restaurant bar design layout. Your bar layout needs to work for both your staff
and your guests, and should have some level of visual flair.
> Guest Considerations - Your bar should be welcoming for guests and encourage them to stay a while.
And of course, consider accessibility for customers who may need more space or those who may use mobility
aids.
> Staff Considerations - You need to keep your team happy, too! Your restaurant bar design layout should
make it as easy as possible for bartenders and barbacks to work efficiently.

restaurant bar design:

Bar Tradition’s and Practices

Drinking culture is the set of traditions and social behaviors that surround the consumption of alcoholic
beverages as a recreational drug and social lubricant. Multiple countries share this superstition around the
ritual of toasting, traditions and practices:
 France and Germany- believed that you should never break eye contact while sharing a toast with others.
Spain- before taking a shot of alcohol, you raise your glass up, bright it down, move it to the center, and
then take the shot.
 Korean culture- is all about striking a balance of fun and respect for others. Never pour your own drink.
Always accept the first drink you are offered.
 Australian culture- drinking custom is straightforward, but I advise not wearing your favorite pair of
sneakers if you’re going to partake in it.
 Russian culture-is where we get our cues. A chaser is necessary. After taking a shot of vodka, you deeply
inhale the aroma of bread. Italian culture -Aperitivo features drinks and light snacks enjoyed before dinner.
