Dramatic changes have occurred in the bar industry as a result of the current social climate in which the mass-consumption of alcohol is, at the very least, passe. To keep clientele, restaurateurs and bar owners are spending more to create a sense of place and a memorable experience with entertainment, lighting, sound, and most importantly, design.
Design Spirits chronicles many unique bars and nightclubs which offer customers more - more experience, more choices, more entertainment - for their money. The entire gamut of nightlife options is represented. In addition to Carolines Comedy Club, The Big Life, Spago, and Planet Hollywood, there's a Kansas City sports grill, a mall lounge and bar, and a Moscow nightclub. Informative text, floorplans, and exquisite design details accompany the projects, and quotes from today's cutting-edge designers interspersed throughout the pages add further interest.
Design Spirits: Bars, Brewpubs and Techno Clubs also features an entire chapter devoted exclusively to specialty bars, including sushi bars, coffee cafes and tapas bars. An invaluable resource tool for designers, architects and drink connoisseurs, Design Spirits features over 350 views of the hip hang-out spots.
