Operators know that a good guest experience extends far beyond the food and beverage offerings. Every element of your venue, from the booking system to the atmosphere and even the tableware, adds up to create the guest experience. And when it comes to creating the perfect atmosphere, few things are more impactful than your music. And we’re not talking playlist – we’re talking the actual sound quality.
We spoke with David Lee of BASSBOSS® to find out why operators need to be focusing on audio as a fundamental building block of your venue, and how a great sound system can significantly boost your bottom line.
Why is it important for venues to have a great sound system?
A sound system can be so much more than just the equipment that plays the music. A phenomenal sound system actually encourages your patrons to stay longer. Powerful, deep bass has been scientifically shown to increase alcohol purchases. In addition to that, the quality of the sound becomes associated with every other part of the venue. People will return over and over again to hear their favorite music sound the best they have ever heard it.

What are the most common sound system mistakes operators make, and how can they avoid them?
One big mistake is having systems that are too loud in the wrong areas and not loud enough in the right areas. Night clubs are social environments, and people need space in which to socialize away from the intensity of the dance floor. Bartenders also need to be able to hear the customers’ orders and to interact with the customers.

Robert recently reviewed 6 O’Clock Gin’s London Dry expression — and its canned G&T — but today we’re looking at the Bristol-based operation’s “export strength” expression, dubbed Brunel.
The gin isn’t just a higher-strength version of the London Dry, it’s also got six added botanicals on top of those in the London Dry: green cardamom, nutmeg, cumin, cassia bark, cubeb pepper, and lemon. And yes, it’s bottled at a higher proof.
Let’s give it a try.

The Business Research Company’s Organic Food Global Market Report 2021: COVID-19 Growth And Change To 2030
LONDON, GREATER LONDON, UK, May 20, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Increasing health concerns due to growing number of chemical poisoning cases globally is acting as a driver in the organic market. Consumers are becoming more health conscious owing to the harmful effects caused by the presence of chemical pesticides in food products. The toxicity of chemical pesticides in food products can cause cancer, hormone disruption and birth defects. According to an UN report, around 200,000 people die every year due to toxic effects of pesticides in food products. This is causing consumers to shift their focus towards organic food products.
The organic food and beverages market consists of sales of organic food and beverages and related services. The production of organic food involves practices that promote ecological balance and aim to conserve biodiversity. These food products do not use any food additive or industrial solvent.

Ireland's Dingle Distillery has marked a major milestone with the launch of its first core whiskey expression.
The triple-distilled, non-chill filtered Dingle Single Malt will be available domestically and for key export markets including the UK, Poland, Germany, France, China and the US.
The whiskey comprises predominantly six to seven-year-old spirit that has been matured in Pedro Ximénez sherry (61 per cent) and Bourbon (39 per cent) first-fill casks.
Some 50,000 bottles have been produced so far, with the distillery aiming to produce 100,00 bottles of Dingle Single Malt - and half a million bottles across its whole portfolio - by 2023.
Elliot Hughes, managing director at Dingle Distillery, said: "Quality has always been at the heart of our DNA at Dingle Distillery and that remains the case with our Single Malt launch. We are one of few distilleries in Ireland solely producing our own spirit - we don't buy from or sell to other distilleries.
Coffee liqueur brand Kahlúa has unveiled its first bottle rebrand in more than a decade.
The new label design is intended to celebrate Kahlúa's coffee credentials and its Mexican roots in Veracruz, a mountainous region which has a rich coffee culture and where coffee beans have been farmed for centuries.
Its distinctive red and yellow colour palette has been retained, with a contemporary Aztec-inspired design that reinvents the classic Kahlúa silhouette.
Tamara Urukalo, global vice-president of marketing at Kahlúa, said: "We at Kahlúa pride ourselves on our unserious attitude and dedication to making an exceptional coffee liqueur that coffee and cocktail fans alike will love.
"But it's not just about the taste, it's also about the look - so we felt that it was only right that we gave our famous bottle a bold and contemporary makeover that borrows cues from the world of coffee and stands out from the crowd.

A year ago it was hard to fathom how Bordeaux wineries would conduct a futures campaign, selling their latest vintage as a global pandemic raged. But they managed to pull it off. Now they have launched the campaign for 2020 futures, and while conditions in many of their leading markets have improved, it is hardly a typical year.
American wine lovers and merchants are curious to see if top châteaus will repeat last year's pause on big price increases. With the global economy so uncertain, most wineries kept price increases fairly small. A strong dollar also helped. Many of the best-known wines sold well.
The economy is still uncertain, but there are signs that the next six months will bring strong economic growth as vaccinations accelerate and restrictions ease. People with money are looking to spend. Will that convince Bordeaux vintners that they can resume the big price increases seen in past years?
And there's a big catch for U.S. buyers: The dollar is weaker against the euro this year, meaning châteaus could release futures at the exact same price, but Americans will pay more. The bright side? The government has paused tariffs on French wines, removing a big extra cost.
Cheval-Blanc made a splash last week, kicking off the campaign. Typically one of the last estates to release futures, it was the first big name to hit the market. The 2020 was released at €380 per bottle, ex-négociant, up 2.7 percent on the 2019. It’s being offered by top U.S. retailers at an average price of $575, or $6,900 per case, an increase of 16 percent on the 2019. While it's not cheap, it's more than 30 percent cheaper than the current market price of both the 2015 and 2016 vintages.

Chef Daniel Boulud opens his highly anticipated, sprawling new seafood restaurant in Midtown Manhattan’s One Vanderbilt skyscraper this week. Le Pavillon debuts with a limited number of dinner reservations May 20, followed by a full opening on May 28. The restaurant takes its name from the New York destination that’s widely credited for putting French cuisine on the national stage during its run from 1941 to 1966. “Le Pavillon was synonymous with French dining in New York in the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s,” Boulud told Wine Spectator. “Bringing back that name here to New York was very important.”
The cuisine focuses on seafood and vegetables, with an emphasis on seasonal and local ingredients. Menu items include roasted beets with sesame, poached halibut and baked lobster with purple potatoes.
Daniel Johnnes, wine director for Boulud’s Dinex Group, built the wine list to complement the delicate nature of the menu. His 650 picks comprise a plethora of seafood-friendly wines such as Chablis and Champagne, but that’s rounded out by a range of selections to ensure guests can find what they’re looking for—even if that’s a powerful Cabernet Sauvignon with fillet of sole. “We don’t like to lecture people and limit them in what’s available,” Johnnes said. “We want them to have a broad spectrum to choose from.”
“That’s really the DNA of many of my wine lists,” Boulud said. “It has always been a strong balance of French and American wines, but also others.”

The first bonded Old Fitzgerald release for 2021 is here, and it’s the youngest of the whiskeys released in the series to date (which spans up to nine releases, depending on how you count them). This bourbon uses Old Fitz’s traditional wheated mashbill and was distilled in the spring of 2013, then bottled in spring of 2021.
The whiskey is instant proof that age isn’t everything when it comes to quality. While the nose initially keeps things close to the vest, with minimal fruit showing and an earthiness that evokes cloves and pepper, characteristics more closely related to rye-heavy bourbons, not ones made with a wheat recipe. The spice lets up in time, however, letting some barrel char and peach fruit notes emerge.
On the palate, the whiskey is pretty, sweet, and again delightfully spicy — it’s a pity this is a spring release, because it kind of feels built for the holidays. Light notes of peanut and cedar box open the door to a gently green herbaceous character, with rosemary and thyme in evidence as it develops, but the inherent sweetness offers the spirit an astounding level of balance. In time, the finish pushes a sizable note of chocolate and caramel and a smattering of spice box elements, again upping the complexity and showcasing the bourbon’s gorgeous physique.
UK-based brewer Big Drop is hoping to introduce more people to its non-alcoholic beers with a new multi-pack.
The Big Drop Explorer Pack - featuring a selection of its best-selling alcohol-free beers - is going on sale exclusively through supermarket chain Waitrose, with which Big Drop collaborated on the new format.
On sale from 17 May, the packs include eight 330ml cans, including best sellers from Big Drop's core range such as Pine Trail Pale Ale, Uptime Lager, Paradiso Citra IPA and Galactic Milk Stout, plus the new 0.5% ABV Cobo Mayo Cerveza.
As well as making a welcome addition to Waitrose's beer range, the pack is designed to encourage more beer drinkers to take a dive into the category's non-alcoholic offerings.
The pack follows the success of Big Drop’s previous listings with Waitrose - Galactic Milk Stout and Paradiso Citra IPA - which first hit the retailer’s shelves last year. Retailing at £12, The Big Explorer Pack will be available to purchase in 220 Waitrose stores.
