Book New Bar and Club Design

Download or read book New Bar and Club Design written by Bethan Ryder and published by Laurence King Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Following the highly successful Bar and Club Design (2002), New Bar and Club Design examines current international trends, showcasing 47 bars and clubs completed since 2001." "The 1990s restaurant boom led to an increase in both the volume and diversity of restaurants, and this in turn heralded an increasingly sophisticated bar market. There has been a resurgence of cocktail culture and an explosion of the 'style bar' - professionally designed venues that serve high-quality drinks. As this book demonstrates, such bars continue to open in cities from New York to Moscow, Beirut to Kuala Lumpur. There is also a trend in lower-budget designer bars that are as visually interesting as the big budget productions, such as Andy Wahloo in Paris and Opal in London." "Likewise, club culture continues to thrive. Many nightclubs are cosier than the 'superclubs' so popular during the late 1980s and '90s, and recent years have seen the emergence of the 'boutique club' - small, exclusive nightclubs where the focus has returned to the music, the sound system and the dancing. Other alternatives include late-night lounge bars with DJs that cater to the 'grown-up clubber', offering comfort and luxury rather than an empty shell in which to dance. Some 'superclubs' are still being built and these offer the very best in technology and audiovisual entertainment, usually laid out over several different areas. This book explores the design Zeitgeist of bar and club culture worldwide." "Following a brief introduction tracing the latest international trends, four themed chapters on bars, restaurant bars, hotel bars and clubs showcase the most interesting and unusual venues from around the world. New Bar and Club Design is a must for anyone with an interest in interior design, bar or club culture."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Detail in Contemporary Bar and Restaurant Design

Download or read book Detail in Contemporary Bar and Restaurant Design written by Drew Plunkett and published by Laurence King Publishing. This book was released on 2013-03-12 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bars and restaurants need to be assertive. Customers tend not to visit them to satisfy basic appetites for food or drink but for the social opportunities. Their interiors need to occupy the imagination of their customers and to whet the appetite for a return visit. The design that gets the formula right will do as much to prolong the life of the business as the products on offer. As this book demonstrates, the conventions and mechanics of eating and drinking influence how bars and restaurants are conceived in different regions of the world. Whatever the final result users are in sustained, intimate contact with the elements of the space they inhabit and detailing must be refined enough, and visually rich enough, to withstand prolonged scrutiny. This book includes a wide range of international projects and for each one there is a descriptive text, colour photographs, floor plans, sections and construction and decorative details. A bonus CD-ROM contains all the drawings as printed in the book, in both EPS and DWG (generic CAD) formats.

Book Wisconsin Supper Clubs

    Book Details:
  • Author : Ron Faiola
  • Publisher : Agate Publishing
  • Release : 2023-11-21
  • ISBN : 1572848804
  • Pages : 467 pages

Download or read book Wisconsin Supper Clubs written by Ron Faiola and published by Agate Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supper clubs guru Ron Faiola is back with updated chronicles and beautiful new photographs from the clubs that captured the attention of readers in Wisconsin Supper Clubs, and also features several new venues shaking up this midwestern tradition. Wisconsin Supper Clubs, Second Edition is a resource for and about supper clubs throughout Wisconsin that includes charming photographs of the unique supper club interiors, proprietors, and customers, as well as fascinating archival materials. Also recorded in this book are the regional specialties served at these clubs, ranging from popovers and fried pickles in the northern part of the state to Shrimp de Jonghe in the south. One Northwoods supper club even features fry bread, a traditional Native American dish uncommon to most restaurants. In this updated second edition, Faiola revisits many of the clubs across the Dairy State that starred in his first edition, recording their struggles and triumphs in the years following widespread pandemic shutdowns. New to this edition are fifteen extra clubs that have entered the scene in the past decade, striving to be a part of this custom that is hugely popular with Wisconsin locals and regularly frequented by all midwestern foodies in the know. The "supper club experience" is a tradition embodied by many long-standing restaurants scattered throughout the small towns of Wisconsin. It is based around a bygone idea that going out to dinner should be an experience that lasts an entire evening, emphasizing food made from scratch, slow-paced dining, and family-run businesses. Combine this with stately dark-panel decor, complimentary relish trays, and the best brandy Old Fashioned sweet you'll ever have, and you have barely scratched the surface of the Wisconsin supper club's appeal.

Download or read book No Sleep written by DJ Stretch Armstrong and published by powerHouse Books. This book was released on 2016-11-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No Sleepis a visual history of the halcyon days of New York City club life as told through flyer art. Spanning the late 80s through the late 90s, when nightlife buzz travelled via flyers and word of mouth,No Sleepfeatures a collection of artwork from the personal archives of NYC DJs, promoters, club kids, nightlife impresarios, and the artists themselves. Club flyers, by design, were ephemeral objects distributed on street corners, outside of nightclubs and concert halls, in barbershops and retail shops, and were not intended to be preserved for posterity. Through the 90s, they became both increasingly prevalent and more sophisticated as printing technology evolved. Overnight, however, with the advent of the internet, theflyer essentially disappeared, despite it being common at one time for promoters to print thousands of flyers for any given event. Recently, these flyers have become sought-after collector's items.
