Description:
Why is drinking at a bar more delicious and enjoyable than at home? Discover the hidden mechanisms and ingenuity behind alcohol-serving establishments. By removing the ceiling of a restaurant and viewing it from above in three dimensions, you'll uncover the unique strategies optimized for each venue—from carefully considered design and seating arrangements to spacing, restroom placement, kitchen size, and even the gestures and attire of staff members. This book provides complete visual explanations of the "hospitality" behind thriving bars, clubs, snacks, standing bars, Chinese restaurants, and concept cafes. The author is a veteran designer with over 100 alcohol-serving establishments to his credit. Packed with essential reference materials for anyone interested in understanding, creating, or opening a nightlife venue—as well as for creatives looking to depict these spaces. This comprehensive guide covers everything from pre-opening inspections through construction phases, detailed profiles of diverse drinking establishments (from traditional teahouses and craft beer bars to soul bars and international clubs), the evolution of drinking culture from Edo-era izakayas to modern venues, and emerging concepts for tomorrow's bars.
