The modern world and the advent of the digital age provide far more means of entertainment than were previously available. Older generations might have headed to an RSL club or perhaps a smoky pub for their entertainment. If they wanted to watch live sport, the most reliable way was to head to a stadium and see the stars live, rather than choosing one of the many available streaming channels and following any team along with everything about them.

While there was a certain decadence to being able to go out to tea, such venues are rare nowadays, with brighter and more attractive places being opened to attract customers. There are more food options than ever, with tastes and cuisines from around the world tempting the taste buds. Alternatively, a quality distillery bar with the following 5 features is guaranteed to be enjoyable.

  1. Brand identity is something that makes a successful and quality distillery bar stand out from the also-rans. It should tell its own story to captivate its audience, who are looking to relax and have fun, which will include information about the drinks, which is both interesting and educational, as well as how the drinks are made. Its décor, the detailed menu, staff knowledge, and overall atmosphere should reach the highest standards so that customers continue to visit.
  2. Historical local photographs can add to the ambience, especially if the bar is the only one of its kind nearby. In such an environment, customers are likely to engage, enjoy the experience, and recommend it to others. Products being served should be at their best and served in ways that exemplify class. Crafted signature offerings, tasting flights, or samples of exclusive ranges are things that see numbers wanting to visit to enjoy consistency and to build trust.
  3. The staff in any bar can take an experience to another level, making customers feel valued as they relax in quality surroundings. Experienced servers who can explain each drink and any snacks on the menu with confidence add to a visit, with their approachable demeanour, which leads to friendly engagement and a warm welcome, helping customers feel included.
  4. The lighting, seating, acoustics, and layout should work together to create a space that feels both inviting and functional in a distillery bar. A comfortable setting allows customers to relax and forget about the stresses of everyday life, while enjoying conversation, tasting, and even learning without feeling rushed or being in a crowded space.
  5. Little extras can make all the difference to the experience of a visit to a distillery bar. Things like happy hours or loyalty schemes can make them more attractive, as can guided tastings or tours to see what goes on behind a successful operation. Such features build a feeling of community where friends are likely to be invited to share quality time.

A quality distillery bar should serve quality products in a welcoming and comfortable environment with features that make it stand out from the rest.
