Main Bar/CashBar)

The main bar, also known as Anglo-American formal bar, is the most common and common bar in the hotel. Most of these bars are beautifully decorated, elegant and unique, with a strong European and American style. Audio-visual equipment is relatively complete, handicrafts, bars are wrought iron, and there are enough stools, drinks, cups and wine mixing equipment, etc., with outstanding characteristics, complete types and proper furnishings, creating a good atmosphere. Most of the guests who come here to spend money come to enjoy music, wine and unrestrained interpersonal communication. Moreover, the guests sit in front of the bar directly facing the bartender and appreciate the bartender's operation. The whole process of the bartender from preparing materials to preparing drinks and serving is completed under the guest's eyes, so that the guests can enjoy the beauty. Therefore, the requirements for bartenders' professional skills and cultural literacy are relatively high.

service bar

this bar is the night business place of high-end restaurants, and its service is the best. Bars are more flexible in decoration design, such as night, and restaurants decorate their environment as bars with unique lighting and music equipment. The purpose of this bar is to pay equal attention to drinks and food. Guests can simply enjoy night snack or its special snacks or simply use drinks.

both Chinese and western restaurants have service bars. Generally speaking, the service bars in Chinese restaurants are relatively simple in equipment, so bartenders don't need to deal with guests directly, just serve them according to the wine list, and the supply of drinks in bars is mainly Chinese wine. Service bars in western restaurants have higher requirements, mainly supplying a large number of table wines (wines) with all kinds. Moreover, due to the different storage temperatures and methods of red and white table wines, it is necessary to equip a table wine warehouse and a vertical freezer. In the operation and management of high-star hotels, the wine storage in western restaurants is very important, because the style and standard of western food and wine catering are reflected here.

Theme Bar

Lan Kwai Fong is the most famous bar in Hong Kong, with a small bar of 31 square meters to 111 square meters. Each bar has its own theme, such as: football bar, saxophone bar, nostalgic bar, Berry Bros. & Rudd (only buying red wine and nothing else), beer bar (only buying beer) and other special bars.

Banquet bar

Banquet bar is a bar set up according to the banquet form and number of people. It is usually designed according to different forms such as cocktail party, VIP room and wedding banquet, but it is only temporary. Catering bar is a special form of banquet bar, which is set up temporarily when there is takeout. For example, some companies hold opening reception, and the venue is located in the company. At this time, the service staff of the bar need to bring drinks and various utensils to the venue designated by the company to set up a bar to provide drinks service.

Gentleman Bar

It's a bar for men only, and most of the customers are non-hotel guests. Because it is a social place for men, some of them also have a hub-throwing field.

club bar

in principle, it is a bar that only people who have obtained membership and their families can enjoy. However, some of them are also open to our guests in order to take care of them. This bar implements a limited drinking system, and formal receptions and other social activities are held here. There are also member bars with high-end members, which mainly protect consumers' "privacy" and must pay a high "admission fee", so ordinary consumers can't get in. Carina Lau opened a member bar in Shanghai to provide entertainment services for celebrities in the upper class.

Cocktail Lounge

Lounge usually has the formal characteristics of a coffee shop, and its style and decorative layout are similar, but it only serves drinks and snacks, not staple food, and some seats are located in front of the bar, but guests generally don't like to sit on it. This kind of bar has two forms: one is the Lobby lounge, which is located in the lobby of the hotel and mainly serves the guests in the lobby; The second is the Music Room, which also includes the dance hall and karaoke hall. Most of the hotels are comprehensive concert halls with bands playing and dance floors for guests to dance.

performing arts bars, as the name implies, are dominated by performing arts, and the performing arts of bars are regarded as important. The quality of actors, the quality of programs and the form of performances should be carefully built. According to different regions and local cultures, programs should be made in combination with the tastes of guests to win their likes, but the concept of fashion should be embodied and guided in the bar. No matter what boys and girls like, it is undoubtedly reflected in the bar, and it should be carefully planned in performing arts. It developed from a bar, and its biggest feature is that there is a stage in the middle, surrounded by guests, and the song and dance performances take turns, during which the host gags. Performing arts bars are different from simple bars and opera houses, more like dance halls in the late 1981s. In a bar that focuses on programs, the content of the programs is "too complicated to be prepared".

Slow-roll bar

It is slightly different from performing arts bar. Apart from interspersed performances, most of it has been DJ's slow-roll dance music as the mainstream. This kind of bar is a fashion shop with short life and is a popular product of the times, but it can make money in a short time according to the luxury of bar decoration in a period of time.

Taste Bar

This kind of bar only receives a certain class of consumer groups, regardless of decoration design and personnel quality. This kind of bar has a large investment. The bar is positioned to serve members and provide them with all information and assistance in their daily life, work and business, ranging from business services, such as business capital flow and various business assistance, to booking air tickets for members.

Workshop Bar is a small area casual bar, which needs the patience of the operator, because there are probably few guests at the beginning, but it needs to be persisted and operated with time. Generally, it belongs to two couples or a single woman, and one or two people can handle it. The profit of this bar is very small.

Grand Bar

Most of the multi-functional bars are located in comprehensive entertainment places. It can not only provide drinks for lunch and dinner guests, but also provide a wide range of drinks and other services for guests with different needs such as music appreciation, dancing, karaoke and fitness. This kind of bar design integrates the basic characteristics and service functions of the main bar, lounge and service bar.

Leisure bar

This is a place where bar guests relax after a stressful trip or after work. In the decoration design, you don't need gorgeous lighting design. The most important decoration design is comfort and elegant general environment. Such a bar is more suitable for dating. If you play music in such a bar, you need to turn down the volume of the music. Such bars mainly operate cold drinks (non-alcoholic drinks), and coffee is a major item in the drinks they sell.

Clubs and salons are generally the objects of choice for larger entertainment gatherings, and the name is the most important point in the comparison of decoration design of such bars. This bar is also popular with people.

vertical bar

vertical bar is a typical bar in the traditional sense, that is, guests usually drink directly on the bar without the service of service staff. "vertical" does not mean that guests must stand to drink, nor does it mean that bartenders or waiters stand to serve, it is just a traditional customary name. In this kind of bar, a considerable number of guests drink in high chairs in front of the bar, while bartenders stand inside the bar. Operate in front of the guests. Because the bartender is always in direct contact with the guests, it is also required that the bartender always keep neat appearance, modest and polite attitude, and of course, he must master skilled bartending techniques to attract guests.

Cigar bar

Cigar bar is an entertainment consumption place, such as bars and clubs. But the main product of cigar bar is cigars. This place is generally unaffordable. Usually, several high-class friends from the city will go to the cigar bar to talk about business cooperation or entertain guests with each other. There are red wine, coffee, table tennis and so on, which can be used for tasting and entertainment! Some large enterprises also have their own cigar bars, or cigar lovers and cigar lovers.
