The saloon and the pub have evolved from very humble beginnings into drinking establishments catering to customers from all walks of life. The younger generation with disposable income frequent bars not only to drink; they come to be entertained, to converse, to see and be seen. In Designing the Worlds Best Bars you will visit over 100 bars: some freestanding, others in nightclubs, hotels and restaurants. The featured architects/designers showcase some of their finest accomplishments. You will marvel at their creative inspiration and design skill, and their ability to turn spaces into venues that each reflect their own individual identities.
This title is lavishly illustrated with over 250 full-color photos illustrating the designers creative use of lighting, atmospheric decor, fixturing, high-tech visual effects and unique floor treatments.
Martin M. Pegler provides expert commentary on each project. Designing the Worlds Best Bars is an invaluable sourcebook for interior designers and architects working in the burgeoning bar industry.
