What's on your bar?
“We are a Leicester city centre venue with a great position on the high street. Downstairs is a pub that serves good food, with live music and a DJ at weekends. Upstairs is a private hire venue, including a vintage cinema and ping-pong tables.”
Desert island drink: I’ve just come back from Mexico, so it’s got to be a Margarita!
Most versatile soft drink: We use a lot of fruit juices such as pineapple and passion fruit for our cocktails and mocktails.
Top upselling tip: We listen to what our customers ask for and try to use what we’ve got in stock. We listen to staff feedback and adjust what’s on our bar. Twice a year we have a competition where they make their own cocktail creation using stock in our bar. The winning drink gets a place on the menu.
Current customer favourite: We’ve noticed a huge spike in demand for spiced rum. Vodka is also popular with our younger customers.
