So you consider yourself a fan of bars and nightclubs, right? Do you think you are aware of the industry? Well, think again. Here are some things you probably didn’t know about your favorite bars and nightclubs.
- Have you ever wondered what is the name of the boss of the bouncers in a bar or nightclub? Probably not, however, if you ever have the misfortune to meet him, you may want to address him as Mr. “Cooler.”
- Corner bars and nightclubs are on average larger than bars and nightclubs on normal land lots.
- At any given time, Ibiza has the highest percentage of the population partying at a bar or nightclub.
- Bars and clubs in Southeast Asia are the countries most likely to water down drinks, particularly spirits which, for various reasons, are disproportionately more expensive than locally brewed products (beers in particular)
- The most popular shot in the world is vodka…supported heavily by the Russians, where vodka is by far the number one drink in the world.
- Brewing companies spend millions of dollars designing beer taps, because a good beer tap can improve beer sales by more than $20. Pretty good for a little bit of plastic.
- Bars and clubs have been voted the number 1 destination for meeting people of the opposite sex.
- The reason that Melbourne has a large number of small bars and Sydney does not is because of the different licensing laws that exist between each state. In Melbourne the cost of setting up a bar is much lower and as such is more conducive to smaller venues. In response to the popularity of small bars in Melbourne, Sydney has now started to relax its licensing laws, allowing smaller operators to open small bars.
- The word Strobe (as in Strobe light) is actually short for Stroboscopic.
