Bar Room Drawl

By CHRIS YTUARTE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Cheers to Beer This Year " Whoever drinks beer, he is quick to sleep; whoever sleeps long, does not sin; whoever does not sin, enters Heaven!

Thus, let us drink beer!”

— Martin Luther At 12:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 20, the mayor of Munich, Germany will tap the first Oktoberfest beer barrel inside the Schottenhamel Tent, officially kicking off the iconic global beer celebration for 2014.

This 16-day festival may be based in Bavaria, but it resonates worldwide because, well, the world loves beer.

But in today’s bar business, oddly enough, that can sometimes be forgotten. The cocktail craze that has enveloped the industry and the dawn of “mixology” have made it occasionally hazy what this whole thing was built upon in the first place — good ol’ beer.

Of course, that’s not to say that spirits and cocktails have totally overshadowed beer on-premise. In fact, this issue of Bar Business shows that ale is not ailing much these days, rather it’s booming, based heavily around the continuing growth and love of craft beers.

As we report in our Booze News section, the Brewer’s Association announced that through June 2014, approximately 10.6 million barrels of beer were sold by craft brewers, up from 9 million barrels over the first half of 2013. Craft beer has averaged nearly 11 percent growth each year over the past decade. “Today’s marketplace offers an

6

Bar Business Magazine September 2014

unparalleled number of styles, varieties and flavors of beer,” says Craig Purser, President and CEO of The National Beer Wholesalers Association. “American consumers continue to demonstrate that they enjoy this vast variety.”

And variety, as they say, is the spice of life. In that same Booze News column, we introduce a soon-to-arrive line of new beers based on characters from the wildly popular Hobbit books and movies by author J.R.R. Tolkien, who himself once wrote this about imbibing: “Ho! Ho! Ho! To the bottle I go To heal my heart and drown my woe Rain may fall, and wind may blow And many miles be still to go But under a tall tree will I lie And let the clouds go sailing by” Tolkien would surely be proud to have his own beer, but he’s not the only wizard wishing for a cold one. In our Owning Up column we discover a California-based brewer who just happens to be finishing up his PhD in neuropsychology while creating new ales in his laboratory. And our Inventory section tells us that, just in time for Halloween, Newcastle is bringing back its Werewolf Blood-Red Ale to haunt beer coolers across the country.

So while you celebrate National Bourbon Month and sip some amazing cocktails in September, remember where this all started — with a nice cold beer. And beer is still here, in a big way.

Booze News Do You Have a Drinking Hobbit?

I

f your habit is drinking and you like The Hobbit, there is a new series of beers making its way into the marketplace that is right up your alley.

Beer geeks and regular geeks alike rejoice with the announcement that a trio of Hobbit-inspired microbrews are being released by Olympia, Washington-based Fish Brewing. Honoring J.R.R. Tolkien’s literary little people and the supporting cast of his books (and the recent Hollywood movies), Fish Brewing is partnering with BevLink and Ocean Brands to promote and distribute the new beers, while Warner Brothers and New Line Productions signed off on licensing and usage of the iconic Hobbit imagery and names.

Set to be sold only in 22 oz. bottles, this epic tippling trilogy will include Gollum Precious Pils, a strong Imperial Pils style brew; Smaug Stout, modeled after a classic Russian Imperial Stout with a subtle hint of Habanero chilis to represent its namesake dragon’s famously fiery disposition; and Bolg Belgian Tripel, a strong Belgian Tripel named for the Orc chieftan of Hobbit lore.

At 22 oz. and nearly 10% ABV each, there is nothing little about this Hobbits.

Maine Heritage Timber Provides Rare Preserved Wood for Bars and Restaurants

F

or bars and restaurants, a stunning atmosphere is just as important as delicious food and drinks, and there is one Maine company that’s creating an entirely unique ambiance for establishments across the country. Maine Heritage Timber, a leading source of river-reclaimed timber, creates one-of-a-kind décor. From custom bar tops and an array of flooring products to wall and ceiling treatments, Maine Heritage Timber offers expertly crafted products that are distinctive in their beauty, strength and durability.

“We pride ourselves on creating a product that our customers can’t find anywhere else,” said Tom Shafer, managing co-founder of Maine Heritage Timber. “It’s always exciting seeing the finished product, whether it’s a custom bar or a whole remodeling job. When I think of the history behind the timber that we use, I can’t help but think of the men who fell the trees with hand tools over a hundred years ago. It makes you appreciate the natural beauty that much more.”

Working with establishments like Bangor Blaze in Bangor, ME and Moxie Kitchen + Cocktails in Jacksonville, FL, Maine Heritage Timber provides a unique look for tabletops, bars, flooring, wall applications and more. Maine Heritage Timber works directly with clients and designers to create the perfect space for each customer, from restaurants and bars to lounges and pubs.

Maine Heritage Timber utilizes a unique resource that would otherwise remain forgotten. A multitude of native species of timber, cut down in the height of the logging industry in the 1800’s, was preserved in the pristine and

frigid waters on Maine lakes and rivers. Maine Heritage Timber extracts the untouched timber from the water and mills it down to create custom pieces. The rare wood features stunning hues, dense grain and historical provenance.

Maine Heritage Timber helps return the river to its natural ecosystem and ensure their customers receive an ecofriendly product. For additional information, visit www.maineheritagetimber.com.

CHARLES JOLY NAMED THE WORLD’S BEST BARTENDER

A

fter a week of fierce competition, incredible craftsmanship, unrivalled creativity and exceptional cocktails, Charles Joly from The Aviary in Chicago, USA, beat 47 of the best mixologists from around the globe to be crowned the DIAGEO RESERVE WORLD CLASS™ Bartender of the Year 2014.

Charles mesmerized the judges from the very first cocktail but it was his unique and show-stopping signature serve that will help cement his name in cocktail history. His signature cocktail Above the Clouds, crafted for the final Punch and Glass challenge, blew the judges away.

Throughout the week Charles consistently proved his winning credentials to the esteemed panel of judges that included legends and luminaries of the cocktail scene such as Dale DeGroff, Salvatore Calabrese, Julie Reiner, Steve Olsen and Gaz Regan.

“Wow, I just feel totally overawed by this. I know it sounds like a cliché but to be announced as the DIAGEO RESERVE WORLD CLASS™ BARTENDER OF THE YEAR 2014 is like a dream. The other finalists really are the best bartenders in the world today so for the judges to pick me as the winner is incredible” said Charles Joly.

“This journey didn’t start today at the ceremony, it started many years ago when I first started working in a local bar. I make drinks with my heart and it makes me happy to see customers happy. The possibilities open to a bartender are limitless, not just in terms of your career but your creations – the only limit is your imagination.”

Matteo Fantacchiotti, Global Vice President Commercial, DIAGEO

RESERVE, said: “Right from the beginning Charles Joly’s passion, creativity and unrivalled mixology skills captivated the judges. His desire to create unique serves that combined sophisticated tastes with innovative modern twists never faltered at any stage of the competition. It’s a real honor to have Charles as our 2014 Diageo Reserve WORLD CLASS™ ambassador.”

Charles Joly will now become a global ambassador for Diageo Reserve WORLD CLASS™, a role which will see him travel the world, educating and inspiring new talent whilst developing his own skills and knowledge through the different tastes and techniques they experiences along the way.

The 2014 WORLD CLASS™ Finals consisted of a series of innovative challenges staged around Great Britain, starting in Gleneagles, Scotland, before travelling via the iconic Orient Express to London. Discovery was at the heart of the competition, a theme brought to life by the series of innovative challenges that immersed the 48 finalists in Great British culture and inspired them to create premium serves, using the world’s finest spirits.

This year, for the first time ever, consumers were also invited to participate in the WORLD CLASS™ Global Final and discover a world of fine drinking culture at the WORLD CLASS™ House.

Booze News America’s Beer Distributors Applaud Sustained Growth for Craft Beer

T

he National Beer Wholesalers Association (NBWA) – which represents the interests of America’s 3,300 licensed, independent beer distributors – applauds America’s craft brewers for their continued growth and entrepreneurial spirit.

According to mid-year data released this week by the Brewers Association (BA), craft brewers enjoyed continued growth as American craft beer production volume increased 18 percent during the first half of 2014. According to the BA, from January through the end of June 2014, approximately 10.6 million barrels of beer were sold by craft brewers, up from 9 million barrels over the first half of 2013. BA-defined craft beer has averaged nearly 11 percent growth each year over the past decade.

The BA also reported that, as of June 30, 2014, there were 3,040 breweries operating in the United States, with 99 percent being craft breweries. That number includes 502 new breweries that opened for business in 2014 across the country.

“Craft beer continues to provide a significant contribution to the American beer industry,” said NBWA President & CEO Craig Purser. “The tremendous growth in craft beer sales underscores the excitement of independent beer distributors in partnering with America’s craft brewers to help them reach a wide network of retailers and increase their value.

Women and Wine

M

en and women are different when it comes to their wine habits.

New research from Canadean finds that in the US, women drink wine in order to relax and unwind, seeking good value options, whereas men are more likely to be wine buffs, searching for high quality and new drink experiences. In 2013 the US spent a total of $21.2 billion on wine. Women are the biggest drinkers accounting for 59% of consumption by volume compared to 41% for men.

According to Canadean’s new research, women desire products that will help them relax and unwind, with this need motivating over $6.7 billion in

success is due in large part to the effectiveness of the independent distribution system that allows access to market for brewers of all sizes and a state-based regulatory system that works to level the playing field between brewers, distributors and retailers."

U.S. beer distributors directly employ more than 130,000 people and add $54 billion to the country's economic output. wine sales in 2013. Finding good value wine is also highly important to women: 15% of what they buy is driven by the search for products which give the best value for money. According to Catherine O’Connor, senior analyst at Canadean, this is partly due to women’s high wine consumption: “Being more regular drinkers of wine than men, women look to find affordable offerings that allow them to enjoy the drink frequently without feeling guilt over their spending. This makes communicating value an essential part of how marketers should target women.”

Although they drink less wine than women, men spend more in the search for quality.

Male wine consumers in the US are driven by the search for quality products and new drink experiences. Although they drink less wine than women, they spend considerably more money in their search for high quality products. Men spent $1.8 billion to meet this need in 2013, whereas women only spent $1.0 billion in their search for quality. Men are also driven to find products that offer new experiences, with this need fuelling $2.4 billion of their wine consumption compared to $2.2 billion of female consumption.

O’Connor explains, “these findings reflect a growing wine connoisseurship among American men. While beer is still more likely to be men’s standard drink of choice, a growing number of men are looking to wine for a premium drinking experience as well as to show off their knowledge and refined palates.” According to O’Connor, “this means rising male demand for luxury wine experiences and products that can offer the wine buff something new.”

Island Flavors and Cacao Creations The land of the tiki drink is one that has always allowed for creativity.

The sweet, high-powered flavors that give these cocktails a kick match up well with new products made from exotic ingredients like cacao fruit to shape some amazing new cocktail recipes. By Elyse Glickman 12

Bar Business Magazine September 2014

n Chicago, one of America’s hotbeds of molecular cuisine, the kitchen-made cocktails at I|O Urban Roofscape under the direction of Chef Riley Huddleston update familiar tiki cocktail favorites by carrying ingredients and preparation to extremes to create an updated but approachable drink. His cocktails— such as the The Piná Roja Colada — average between 12-18 ingredients each — many of them liqueurs — and he uses scientific techniques of molecular mixology to craft them.

“We use liquid nitrogen to create our sorbet, so the mouth feel will be pleasant and mix well with the spirit and make for an impressive presentation when it goes out to the table,” explains Huddleston. “The challenge here is to ensure the balance of the various ingredients blend and yet preserve the integrity of the spirits and fruits. My goal is to appeal to both the adventurous guest who wants a new experience and somebody who may be less experienced and can get to know the rum or whatever spirit we’re using in a way that’s totally approachable. For both customers, the flavors stay true and are nicely pronounced.”

In Los Angeles, where the tiki trend thrives alongside pre-Prohibition genre drinks, Lesley Solmonson, a cocktail writer for the L.A. Weekly newspaper, and husband David, dedicate a great amount of space in their new book, The 12 Bottle Bar (Workman) to drinks that illuminate the enduring power of tropical thunder.

The book, aimed at beverage professionals and fans, features contributions from top local mixologists reconciling their sweet appeal with a more balanced and modern sensibility.

“The American palate, perhaps more than anywhere else in the world, is attuned to sweetness,” says Lesley Solmonson. “We love sugar, and the average customer, even at a time where today’s tiki recipes are more balanced, wants that clear sweetness element that’s at the core of the rum as well as the fruit juices. Also, we love fireworks--the presentation of the drink. You can have a lot of fun with garnishes as well as flourishes such as plastic monkeys and paper umbrellas. The mix of flavors, combined with the (drink’s) appearance is sure to spark conversation. As a bartender, you can break down barriers with your customers that you may not be able to with other drinks that are more serious and spirits-forward.”

Lesley Solmonson further advises bartenders to be aware of the fact that their palate may not always be the same as the public because they’ve already been exposed to a broader range of flavor and texture. For example, while bitterness is a darling for the bartender at the moment, some bitter flavors may be too intense for the average customer unless that element is used judiciously.

Therefore, sweetness cannot totally be lost in a tiki drink, as the sweetness is part of that genre’s soul.

“It is really a meeting between the current craft cocktail culture and the fun of drinking,” adds David Solomonson. “I don’t think anybody has ever ordered a cocktail like a Manhattan for a good laugh. At this point, there is a new generation of tiki drinks emerging that www.barbizmag.com

Solbeso is the first premium distilled spirit made from a curated blend of the world’s finest cacao fruit sourced from Latin America. meet that sweet spot where customers will want cocktails that are both approachable and exciting as well as recipes that allow mixologists to get creative and show off their skills sets.”

There’s also the notion shared by some mixologists that sometimes it is best to return to the source of inspiration in order to move forward with a more progressive summertime beverage program. This happens to true for beverage directors and bartenders at top resorts in French Polynesia who are looking to update their offerings for their endless summers.

David Enkaoua, Food and Beverage director at Le Meridien Bora Bora Resort, points out that although the property guests currently make more requests for straight alcohol (including fine sipping rums from around the world), neat or on the rocks, a slow but steady return of rum production and “rum culture” to Tahiti and its neighboring islands has prompted him and his colleagues to develop new cocktails and improve upon classic cocktail recipes with access to higher quality rums from around the world as well as their home-grown bounty of tropical summer fruit.

“Our bar offers twelve cocktails that stay the same through the year, and we have a selection of four that change every month to get our (beverage program) current with international mixology trends,” says Enkanoua. “We teach our staff new tricks and techniques so they can capture the essence of what guests from different parts of the world will want to order, as well as September 2014 Bar Business Magazine

13

Liquid Assets new things we can get them to try. One thing we offer that one cannot find outside of French Polynesia is Avotea, a beautiful white rum produced in Tahiti which is in many of our cocktails. While they don’t have an old (aged) rum yet, it is in development.”

Enkanoua also offers sage advice for those bringing the flavor of Tahiti’s endless summer to America’s heartland. “From my experience as an old bartender, you have to be careful when mixing different alcohols because if you go too far, you lose the essence of the spirit and the taste the distiller wanted to achieve,” he states.

“This is why we use white rhum agricole in our cocktails, instead of old (sipping) rums which each have complex nuances and flavors. It is also wise to keep the number of cocktails relatively small so it is easier to maintain the quality of the other ingredients that go in the cocktails.

At Le Meridien Bora Bora, we want everything on the menu to represent the fact we only have premium items, including rums, maintaining a balance between having in stock things they know from home and new things they may want to try that they can’t necessarily get at home.”

Solbeso is the first premium, distilled spirit made from a curated blend of the world’s finest cacao fruit that is sustainably sourced from multiple countries throughout Latin America. At 80 proof, the category-defining spirit delivers a floral aroma and light taste derived from the creamy, sorbet flavor of cacao fruit – a delicate, citrusy sweet pulp that bears no resemblance to the dark and bitter cacao bean, used to produce chocolate.

A by-product of cocoa bean production, the aromatic cacao fruit used to distill Solbeso is sustainably sourced from family farms and co-operatives throughout Latin America, where cacao production has been a way of life for thousands of years. By pioneering every step of the production process - from collection, to fermentation, to distillation - Solbeso has created the world’s first cacao fruit supply chain, vastly benefitting local communities in remote regions of Latin America along the way.

Through the use of modern techniques of distillation, Solbeso has reinterpreted this ancient tradition of making alcoholic beverages from cacao fruit.

The Solbeso name is a portmanteau of the Spanish words Sol (Sun) and Beso (Kiss) - an allusion to the open-air fermentation process where the cacao is literally “kissed by the sun” – conjuring the warmth and magic of a spirit born in the tropics.

The cacao used to make Solbeso is naturally organic, 100% pure, and rich in natural stimulants.

The taste of Solbeso is a robust spirit that captures the character of the finest cacao fruit of Latin America.

With hints of warm honeysuckle and dry citrus, the flavor profile is both zesty and full-bodied with a complex and unusually soft finish.

Solbeso adds a new verve to cocktails, infusing them with the benefits, taste and aromatics of cacao fruit, while the spirit also works over ice or with a lemon twist.

And what better time of the year to do so; the air is cooling, colors are changing, and the rich, rounded flavor of Bourbon blends perfectly with the elements around us.

According to the Kentucky Distillers

www.barbizmag.com

Association, Bourbon production has grown more than 150% in the last 15 years. In fact, there are more Bourbon barrels aging in Kentucky warehouses today than any time since 1977. So this month, we decided to honor the great American spirit, as well as one of its forefathers, Jimmy Russell, with some great Bourbon cocktails. As Wild Turkey’s master distiller, Russell

celebrated his 60th Anniversary with the brand on September 10. To raise a glass to the longest-tenured master distiller in the world, what follows is a collection of classy Bourbon cocktails created by mixologists Sam Ross, Sean Hoard, and Freddie Sarkis, plus four from bartender Naren Young, all in honor of Jimmy Russell’s 60 years with Wild Turkey and National Bourbon Month. Enjoy.

r Bar u o Y t c e t o r P from Troublemakers

IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM

If you’ve been in this industry for any amount of time, you know that 1% of customers cause 95% of incidents at nightclubs and bars. All it takes is one. But being aware and proactive in protecting your venue and your customers can make all the difference.

“

Bad boys, bad boys, whatchya gonna do?

Whatchya gonna do when they come for you?” We all know the theme song from TV’s COPS. But as a bar owner, ask yourself a similar question: When the bad boys come, whatchya gonna do?

www.barbizmag.com

When people go out for the night, they want to have a fun and safe experience. It’s important to find a way to provide this experience to your customers by keeping troublemakers off of your premises. So what are the best ways to keep the troublemakers out? Here are five tips:

1) ENSURE THEIR ID IS VALID Checking an ID to ensure that it is real and not expired is extremely important to protect yourself from liability and ensuring your premises is safe. We recommend using an ID scanner (check out the mobile app VeriScan or VeriScan Online from

September 2014 Bar Business Magazine

21

How To:

IDScan.net) or hiring a professional to train your employees on how to spot a fake ID. ID formats are constantly changing, so it’s important to stay up to date.

2) REWARD THE GOOD, PUNISH THE BAD Loyalty cards and other incentives can be very persuasive in determining a patron’s behavior. By creating a strong loyalty program where you reward the good and punish the bad you can greatly persuade customers to be on their best behavior. To ensure this is successful, it is important to advertise your loyalty program to customers to make them aware of your VIP and Banned lists.

3) IF YOU KICK THEM OUT, MAKE SURE THEY STAY OUT There’s no such thing as a one-time offender. Many of the club-goers who get kicked out tend to come back and cause more trouble. If you ban them from your establishment, make sure you keep them out and don’t allow them to sneak in when a different bouncer is on duty. Most modern ID scanners have this capability and will allow you to record incident details.

4) TALK WITH YOUR FELLOW CLUB OWNERS Many troublemakers will get kicked out of one club and simply move onto the next one. If you talk with your fellow club owners or share a list of banned patrons with each other, you can better protect your club and make the night more enjoyable for your customers.

22

Bar Business Magazine September 2014

5) LET THEM KNOW YOU’RE WATCHING It is important to make customers aware that you know who they are.

Placing cameras where customers can see them will let them know you’re being vigilant to keep your club safe.

Several bars, nightclubs, and restaurants in Minneapolis discovered that the same customers continually go door to door and cause all of their businesses’ problems. To eliminate this issue, these business owners began looking for a way to work together to keep the 1% of their customers that cause 95% of their incidents off their premises.

The best solution they found was a mobile app called VeriScan Online from IDScan.net, which allows businesses to share lists and instantly ban patrons from their establishments. Through this cloudbased solution, if a patron is kicked out or banned at one establishment and tries to go to another one, the owner will immediately receive an SMS or email notification upon swiping the person’s driver’s license at the door.

Steve Hark from Aqua Club in downtown Minneapolis is the leader of the movement to make the city’s nightlife a more enjoyable and safer experience. Since his adoption of VeriScan Online, eight other restaurants, bars, and nightclubs have

started using the app and its shared list feature to keep dangerous customers from entering their venues.

IDScan.net’s VeriScan Online is a sophisticated ID verification system that provides a new standard for mobile ID scanning. Coupled with Honeywell’s industry-leading SL22 iPod/iPhone scanner, VeriScan Online turns any Apple device into a powerful ID scanning device that scans all drivers’ license from the U.S. or Canada, verifies age, and captures data into an online data analytics dashboard.

“Our goal is to provide a mobile solution that protects business from liability and keeps their premises’ safe,” said IDScan.net CEO Denis Petrov.

“We fully support the Minneapolis businesses that have started working together to keep dangerous customers away from their establishments.”

IDScan.net provides ID scanning solutions that read driver’s licenses, military IDs, and other state IDs for access control, automatic data capture, and age verification. The company has 10+ years of experience in the ID scanning industry and has pioneered ID scanning for mobile apps, and clients include Sapphire Club in Las Vegas, Caesar’s Entertainment, Molson Coors, Hooters, and Borgata Casinos.

VeriScan Online, with the Honeywell SL22 scanner, is utilized for

www.barbizmag.com

access control and customer relationship management. This solution provides a full suite of features including a magnetic stripe reader, 2D barcode scanner, image capture capabilities, custom groups (such as Banned and VIP), and online reporting tools. Because VeriScan Online is a cloud-based solution, it easily synchronizes information across several devices and geographical locations.

VeriScan Online is available on the App Store and offers a 30-day free trial.

Of course, not all on-premise trouble takes place inside your venue.

How can you protect your nightclub from the dreaded chargeback?

You’ve experienced it before. A customer comes to your nightclub, spends a lot of money, and a week later issues a chargeback through their credit card company. This phenomenon is a result of something called “buyer’s remorse,” and it affects thousands of clubs all over the country on a weekly basis.

Chargebacks directly hurt your business’ bottom line and can lead to a significant loss on your books. With chargebacks becoming a frequent occurrence in the nightclub industry, how do we protect ourselves from these costly transactions?

At IDScan.net, the company has developed a fully integrated system that helps you keep track of visitors and prove that they were on your premises.

The program features integrated ID scanning, image capture, fingerprinting, and electronic signature into a system that is still easy-to-use, fast and efficient, and most importantly, effective.

Crazy Horse III in Las Vegas found VeriScan Plus and the M-280 scanner to have an immediate impact on their club’s operations. By utilizing it at the VIP section of their club, Crazy Horse III is able to quickly capture all of the customer’s credentials and information to protect themselves from fraud and chargebacks. The system is also fast and efficient, which allowed them to still deliver an extremely high level of customer service and an excellent customer experience.

How To:

r Backup You Computer Files

e v a H s y n a a w l l A ackup P aB

By William J. Lynott EVERYDAY WE RELY A LITTLE MORE ON COMPUTERS TO STORE VITAL INFORMATION, FROM PHOTOS AND MUSIC TO OUR MOST IMPORTANT BUSINESS DOCUMENTS. BAR OWNERS WHO MANAGE THEIR VENUE FROM A DESKTOP DEVICE KNOW THEY’RE JUST ONE STEP AWAY FROM A MELTDOWN IF THOSE FILES DISAPPEARED.

I

f you’ve ever been a victim of a mild case of computer shock, a vendor file that you couldn’t open, or an employee record that you or someone accidentally deleted, consider yourself lucky. Glitches like that pale in comparison to the ultimate computer disaster — a hard disk crash or a virus that wipes out all of your business records.

24

Bar Business Magazine September 2014

Think it can’t happen to you? Think again. Computer consultant Michael Leibrandt of Abington, Pennsylvania says that almost every computer in service over a period of several years will suffer a major catastrophe such as a hard disk crash. Imagine what that would mean to your bar business.

Further, computer failures aren’t the only danger. “Many owners

and managers tend to think of a computer malfunction as the only risk to their business records,” says Jack Shea, President of Solutions by Computer, Springfield, Massachusetts.

“It’s easy to forget about the possibility of fire or flood.”

Fortunately, modern technology has made protection from that kind of disaster simple and inexpensive. Still,

www.barbizmag.com

whether you use dedicated software or an off-the-shelf package, you must take the steps necessary to give yourself the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your business records are safe.

Remember, you can replace a computer that fails; the information it contains, in many cases, is irreplaceable.

A Brief History of Backups In the early days of desktop computers, backing up was a simple procedure. All you had to do was pop a floppy disk in a drive and copy your data. Today, most files are much too large to fit on floppies.

That’s why manufacturers no longer include floppy drives on their computers.

In 1995, Iomega introduced their innovative ZIP drive, a format that many regarded as the logical successor to the floppy, but that didn’t happen.

The ever-increasing size of data files has caused many users to look to emerging technology as a better solution to the backup problem.

While some users still rely on Zip disks for their backup chores, Leibrandt recommends looking to newer technology as a better long-term choice for protecting business data.

Another early format that has lost favor is the tape drive. “Tape backups are less reliable than other methods,” says consultant Robert Meyhoefer, of Mount Laurel, New Jersey. “Tapes can break making them unusable, backups and restores are slower than other methods, and tape drives capable of handling large amounts of data are quite expensive.”

Here are four backup methods that Leibrandt and Meyhoefer say are most suitable for providing the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your business records are protected from loss:

CD/DVD Disks Compared to early floppies that held a maximum of 1.4 MB of data, CDs can hold as much as 800 MB. DVDs can 4.7 gigabytes of data (twice that much if it’s a double layer). A gigabyte (GB) is 1,000 megabytes. There are few sets of bar business records that

www.barbizmag.com

ALMOST EVERY COMPUTER IN SERVICE OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL YEARS WILL SUFFER A MAJOR CATASTROPHE SUCH AS A HARD DISK CRASH. WHAT WOULD THAT MEAN TO YOUR BAR BUSINESS? cannot be accommodated by CDs or especially DVDs. A single DVD with its massive storage capacity can be bought for around $1.25; CDs cost much less.

Most new computers now come with CD/DVD drives built in. As recently as a dozen years ago, a DVD drive went for as much as $500 and a single DVD disk for $35. “While we use tape backups for our Unix-based systems,” says Shea, “our Windows-based systems use DVD disks.”

According to Leibrandt, you should keep in mind that disks have their own set of disadvantages. Some users have reported disks that became unreadable after a few uses, others readable only in the drives in which they were created. He recommends a second set of backups when DVDs are used.

“However, as far as cost is concerned,” says Leibrandt, “CD and DVD disks can’t be beat. For most users they should be adequate and would certainly be the least expensive.”

Jump, Flash, USB Drives So-called jump or flash drives are tiny plug-and-play portable storage devices that use flash memory for data storage.

As small as one-half inch by one inch, they can be toted around in a purse or shirt pocket.

Jump Drives will work with any newer PC or Mac with an existing USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 port. When you plug a jump drive into a USB port, your computer automatically assigns it to the next available drive letter. Then, just use the drag and drop method to transfer files and folders.

Retail prices for jump drives have dropped dramatically in recent years.

Some manufacturers offer jump drives with up to 32 GB of memory, far in

September 2014 Bar Business Magazine

How To: excess of the needs of a single bar business. “The primary advantage of jump drives,” says Leibrandt, “is compactness and portability. They were originally designed to transfer files from one computer to another with a minimum of bulk, and they do that job superbly well.”

Meyhoefer agrees. “If you are backing up less than 2 GB of data, I recommend using inexpensive USB jump drives. They’re a great way of backing up and transporting data quickly and easily. You can never make too many backups. Just make sure you organize multiple backups

so you can find what you need easily in case of an emergency.”

In Leibrandt’s opinion, jump drives have one major disadvantage. “They’re so small,” he says, “that they’re easy to misplace or lose. I’ve managed to lose a couple of them myself.”

External Hard Drives As you know, the “permanent” storage device on your computer is its hard drive. This is where all of your applications and data files reside. The use of a second hard drive for backing up data is arguably now the most popular of all systems.

“The method of choice for backups is the addition of an external hard drive,” says Leibrandt. “Plug the device into a USB port and copy your entire library of data files. For the ultimate in protection, unplug the drive and take it to a completely separate location for safe off-site storage.

Because they come with huge storage capacity, one drive can do it all.”

The latest external hard drives have also benefited from technological downsizing. Drives of up to a whopping 2 terabytes (TB) of capacity selling for around $100 are smaller than your favorite novel. A terabyte is equal to 1024 GB. Smaller external drives with enough capacity to store all of the data files for a typical bar business are no larger than a cigarette package.

For the ultimate in compactness, Leibrandt likes the FireLite brand. “I’ve had very good luck with them,” he says.

“However, you won’t go wrong with any of the major manufacturers such as Maxtor and Iomega.” Maxtor drives, bundled with Dantz Retrospect software, include a one-touch backup button. Just press the button and do other work while your computer handles the backup procedure automatically.

Online Data Storage Business owners who prefer not to invest in backup hardware and the bother of toting physical backups to an off-site location have an alternative method that helps solve both of those issues. Online data storage allows you to log on to a secured Web site where you may upload your files for storage and recovery if that is ever necessary.

Many commercial software packages offer an online storage option for an additional fee. “One of our clients recently had a devastating fire,” says Shea, “but we were able to get him up and running quickly with our online backups.”

The costs for online storage vary according to the capacity you require. www.Ibackup.com offers a basic plan with 10 GB of storage space for $9.95 per month. There are many other companies such as ZipCloud (www. zipcloud.com) that offer similar plans.

All companies encrypt their stored data so that it can not be accessed by unauthorized persons. Also, some Internet service providers offer limited storage space to their account holders at no additional charge.

“There’s one caution with online data storage that you should keep in mind,” says Leibrandt. “If the provider’s server goes down, you won’t be able to backup or have access to your files until the problem is fixed.

That’s why I consider online data storage a supplement to traditional backups, not a replacement.”

up a regular part of your daily routine.

“For the ultimate in protection, you must always store a backup copy of your data off-site,” says Meyheofer. “When one of my client’s buildings was destroyed by fire, I asked if he had current backups of his business data. ‘Sure,’ he replied.

When I asked where they were, he

pointed to his burnt out building.”

Finally, whatever backup option you choose, be sure to do a test restore occasionally to make certain that it’s working properly. “Don’t wait until you have a catastrophic loss to discover that your backups don’t work,” says Leibrandt.

All the tools you need, all in one place.

Schedule Regular Backups Remember that protecting your business against data loss will be effective only if you perform your backups on a regular basis. Unless you use a program with an automatic backup feature, you must initiate the backups.

How often should you back up your data? If you used your computer only occasionally, a weekly backup might be enough. However, in your business, important information in your computer changes every business day.

That’s why you should make backing

GROOVE DYNASTY

ATLANTA’S TONGUE & GROOVE CELEBRATES A 20-YEAR MILESTONE THIS YEAR, MAKING IT A MODEL OF LONGEVITY IN AN INDUSTRY OF SHORT-TERM LIFESPANS. WE SPOKE WITH THE OWNERSHIP TEAM THERE TO FIND OUT WHAT HAS KEPT THE CLUB IN THE GAME FOR TWO DECADES.

operations. The dynamic nightlife duo has continued to make Tongue & Groove an Atlanta mainstay.

“Tongue & Groove has earned a reputation for delivering a lasting, world-class nightlife experience, something that’s virtually unheard of in the nightclub world,” Krohngold says. “We’ve made an unyielding effort to pay attention to the industry and adapt to the times to continue offering Atlanta a memorable nightlife experience. Our dedication to that mission is how Tongue & Groove will remain a staple on the scene for years to come.”

A series of festivities in November will culminate in a large anniversary event on Thursday, November 20th. The evening will pay tribute to the club’s rich cultural history and its founders, with an extravagant soiree in the original month in which it opened.

The newly renovated Tongue & Groove has expanded to include all new furnishings, décor and lighting in its 8,600 square-foot space, located in the Lindbergh neighborhood of Buckhead.

Tongue & Groove has earned a reputation for delivering a world-class nightlife experience since 1994. Catering to an upscale crowd that enjoys fashion, music, art and nightlife, the venue has received numerous accolades and has been featured in The New York Times, USA Today, Robb Report, DJ Times, E! Entertainment News and more. From its modern design, eclectic music selection and unparalleled service, the nightclub is specially programmed to ensure that there’s always something to groove to for locals and visitors alike.

“In 1994, Scott was already partners in a college bar called The Odyssey in Buckhead, and at that time there really wasn’t an upscale alternative for the more styleoriented, martini bar, ultralounge crowd,” says Krohngold. “So we decided to create something with more of an emphasis on conversation and meetings that was a little more high-end at the time. Guys could only get in with sport coats, we had a tight dress code, and it was the roaring 90s — dot.coms and everyone in Atlanta was making a lot of money. We catered to that crowd, and over time things have evolved.”

Krohngold and Strumlauf opened the original Tongue & Groove in the former Buckhead Village, when

n an industry measured in moments, an industry well known for breaking bad, Atlanta’s Tongue & Groove has broken the cardinal rule by keeping its doors open for two decades. The city’s nightlife landmark is proud to celebrate its 20th anniversary this year.

Throughout the past 20 years, the club has hosted and entertained the likes of numerous A-list actors, pop stars and athletes, as well as performances by world-class musicians and DJs, who have all played an integral part of the club’s history. After opening its doors in 1994, the original owners, Michael Krohngold and Scott Strumlauf, still manage the day-to-day

“Design and music changes, but the core of our business is hospitality.”

NEWSWEEK aptly described the club; “Named after its wooden floors, and what happens on them.”

“The biggest changes have been in the technology,” explains Strumlauf. “Social media has been a big change from 20 years ago; even e-mail is a big change from when we opened 20 years ago. We put an iMac in the wall with a keyboard at one point so people could check their e-mail, and we thought, ‘Are people really going to do this?’ But they did. Everything from

“Our focus has always been on the brand and the corporate culture,” says Krohngold. “Scott and I have been business partners for over 20 years and we’re both still very hands-on, which sets the tone for being relaxed but professional. We tried the restaurant scene for a while and we decided we would bring that level of service and hospitality to the bar and nightclub environment. We hire good people and we treat the customer really well.”

Tongue & Groove’s ongoing success after 20 years is partly due to a constant state of reinvention to stay relevant. people’s general communications to advertising has changed with the technology over these two decades.

And of course cell phone cameras have ruined putting celebrities in the VIP room. It went from everybody coming out and partying to celebrities not wanting to come because of cameras and then everybody else becomes a celebrity because the club photographer became a staple.”

Thirteen years of continuous operation in the same location earned them a reputation for delivering a lasting, world-class nightlife experience. The club was displaced by developers in July 2007, but it would take more than a wrecking ball to keep them down.

Bar Business Magazine September 2014

The duo created the buzz again in 2008 by opening the new Tongue & Groove (T&G) in Lindbergh City Center, just off Piedmont Road in Buckhead, an updated and a larger version of the first, again with two rooms creating two distinctly different environments.

Krohngold and Strumlauf tapped David Kreidler as operating partner, and pulled out all the stops to ensure this Tongue & Groove was bigger and better.

The Tongue & Groove team attributes its ongoing success to a constant state of reinvention in efforts to stay relevant with regards to all aspects of popular culture. An ongoing evolution in music has seen DJs over the years play dance music ranging from pop to www.barbizmag.com

Tongue & Groove caters to an upscale crowd, the definition of which has changed over two decades; ownership has adapted. techno, hip hop to EDM, and Latin salsa to swing.

Advances in technology affect the way music is played and how it sounds. T&G’s new space-age sound and lighting rig leaves little to the imagination and completely satisfies the most discerning clubber. The system was designed by Atlanta architect Jeffrey Griffin, and outfitted in technology by Scott Waterbury of Atlanta Sound & Lighting.

The dress code that at one time required sports coats for gentlemen now acknowledges that jeans and sneakers are fashion forward. The well-trained and hospitable staff includes a team roster of polite doormen, seasoned veterans and hot young rookies

In 2012, The Joint debuted as a redesign of T&G’s second room. More organic in nature, with reclaimed wood and up-cycled materials, this 1,500-square-foot space allows for an alternative music format and is perfect for smaller private parties.

Two decades is a long time for any type of business to remain viable, but it’s virtually unheard of in the nightclub world. T&G has broken the old-school rules by not only keeping its doors open for two decades, but remaining “liked” by cynical locals — and not just on Facebook.

“Design and fashion and music changes, but at the core of our business is hospitality,” says Krohngold.

“And as long as we’ve been consistent with that we’ve been successful. We don’t have a lot of turnover; we have one bartender we hired in ’94 who is still with us, and our barbacks have been with us for 15 years, as has much of the management.”

Similarly, Strumlauf points out: “The stability in our partnership over the years has been crucial as well.

We’re aware that we operate in opposite ways but at the same time we’re always on the same page.”

keep it open and sustain it and stay relevant? Can it still be popular? I think we’ve done that by thinking of it as the neighborhood bar of nightclubs.”

Its current location — just steps from public transportation and situated between major thoroughfares connecting Midtown and Buckhead — ensures that Tongue & Groove will likely remain a staple on the scene for years to come.

“We’ve always stayed grounded over 20 years and taken it seriously, treating it foremost as a business and not as a playground,” explains Strumlauf.

“Because it’s very easy to get lost on the playground if you don’t keep your eye on the ball.”

TAKING CARE OF

BUSINESS

Part I

The goal, as always, is to increase bar sales, but here’s a hint: It won’t happen unless management makes it happen. © I’ll tell you how the Three P’s — Personnel, Product, and Profits — can all come together under proper managerial structure on-premise to form the perfect storm of success.

S

ure, external marketing efforts can contribute to higher customer counts, but it does not guarantee those additional patrons will come back after the initial visit. To turn a first-time customer into a regular depends on the ability of the staff to sell, not so much the marketing effort.

It comes from the competency of your bartenders, servers and, most importantly, your manager’s ability to drive bartenders and servers to a higher level of performance. Herein lies the problem.

Most bartenders and servers could care less about higher sales — that’s management’s problem. And most managers can’t raise anyone’s level of performance because most managers in today’s bar business don’t know how to train. They often don’t have the necessary skills that come from experience and knowledge.

If you want to increase sales at your club, it’s only going to come from one source — a well-trained, knowledgeable staff. Who positions oneself directly in front of the customer to make a sale? It’s not the manager. It’s the bartenders and cocktail servers who are on the “front line.” They have the best chance to get to know your guests — their needs, their drink choices, their anticipations. The customer is right in front of them.

Here are some suggestions and guidelines for better managing your bartenders and servers. Use every one of them and I’d bet your sales will improve.

www.barbizmag.com

A PERSONNEL APPROACH A. Teach the importance of “attention and recognition” — what it means for repeat business. Why do people come to bars instead of staying home? They want interaction.

They want someone to talk to, someone to pay them some attention. It’s not the drink that makes them return, its how much attention you give them while they’re there.

Teach your bartenders and servers to get to know each guest by name, remember what they drink and their favorite food items — something about them. Teach bartenders to introduce themselves and extend a handshake to anyone sitting at the bar. This is one of many important “people” skills for repeat business.

B. Teach bartenders and servers how to generate a conversation with a guest. The bartender should ask open-ended questions that create a conversation.

Conversation starters can be anything. Make sure it’s not “Hi, you ready to order?” Ask your bartenders/ servers what their opening line is going to be.

C. Teach bartenders and servers everything you can about the products you sell. They must learn how to make a few recommendations. Up-selling bar products is not easy and it has to be taught. However, today’s bar manager usually takes it for granted that bartenders and servers know how to do this. They don’t. Management must train their bartenders and servers through role model situations and constant testing. The bartender/ server must grow from the “order taker” type of

service person to the concerned, “how can I better serve, and sell to, this person?” It’s done through knowledge, and the knowledge is validated by testing.

Vendors can provide on-site training about most of their products. You have to ask them for their help.

Get vendors involved with your staff.

D. Assign someone in your company to be the Training Director. When it comes to sales, this person is more valuable than the GM or the Bar Manager, provided they take the job seriously and try to make a difference. What kind of impression does a guest have if the bartender or server can’t name, or doesn’t know, the difference between all the domestic and imported beers you sell, or if they can’t explain the breadth of your wine list?

E. Emphasize to your bartenders and servers the importance of the constant smile. Being pleasant and making eye contact with every guest should come naturally, but many bartenders and servers have to be constantly reminded to do it.

F. Make sure your bartenders talk to new customers more than regulars. It’s the new customers you must get to come back, hopefully with a friend or two. You’ve already got the regulars. Spend your free time getting to know as much as you can about the new customers.

This is the best way to increase sales. Get the new customers to come back, somehow, some way. In the bar business the formula for increasing sales is simple: “No people equals no money.” You need more 34

Bar Business Magazine September 2014

people to make more money. And your best chance to get more people is to get the new customers coming back, often. Now you’re making more money.

G. Keep distractions away from the bartenders/servers.

No cell phones. No boyfriends/girlfriends/husbands/ wives allowed on the property during shifts. No incoming personal calls. No texting (unless to promote the bar). Every bit of a bartender/ server’s attention must be devoted to the customer.

H. Do not allow employees to congregate amongst each other on the floor or behind the bar. If it’s not busy, the server should be on the floor in their station, even if there’s only one customer, or at the front door meeting and greeting guests as they come in and then seating them in their station. Bartenders who understand “cyclical motion” behind a bar should always be busy doing something.

I. Do not allow your bartenders or servers to be seen eating, or smoking, or counting their tip change, in front of customers.

Is management on the floor watching for these things?

J. Do you have props in place to help you make the sale?

But remember — a champagne or wine list cannot be presented unless the server or bartender can answer any question a guest might ask about the list. If you’re going to put a table tent on a table, everyone must be able to describe it to a guest and be able to make a sale from it. That includes the managers.

K. Always do a daily “alley rally” at shift change time.

Managers should conduct a five-minute session that www.barbizmag.com

focuses on “what’s happening today”? The manager could include some suggestive up-selling techniques.

He could verbally quiz employees about drink ingredients, pricing, or whatever will help them be of better service to each guest. Daily reminders to the staff are critical to the success of the “increasing sales” process. Do not expect your employees to motivate themselves into great sales people. It comes from management.

L. Management should not allow a bartender or server on the floor until extensive training has taken place and tests have been passed. Sales will never get better if a bartender or server is just thrown onto the floor in a “sink or swim” mode just after hiring with very little to no training.

There’s too much to know, such as the cash register/ POS system, drink prices, bottle prices, what products are available, where the fruit backup is kept, who cuts it, etc. It doesn’t happen overnight. It takes several days and it takes management training.

M. Schedule according to the needs of the business first.

Management should forecast sales from historical data and schedule accordingly, allowing for extraordinary circumstances, special promotions or conventions in town. Make sure you have scheduled enough bartenders and servers to meet the demand, but don’t “overstaff.”

I have witnessed too many “grand opening” events that didn’t schedule enough bartenders and servers.

Therefore, all the money tied up in the big promotion failed because customers couldn’t get product or service. They left upset. Will they be back? I doubt it.

N. Don’t change the schedule from week to week. Give your staff a chance to have a personal life outside of work.

Give them a schedule that has them working the same times, same days, week to week. Your customers will appreciate this as well. Regulars get accustomed to seeing the same bartenders/servers at expected times.

They look forward to it. It’s a waste of management’s time to try to accommodate every employee’s request for a schedule change.

O. Management must lead by example. It cannot be done from the office. Get out on the floor and greet guests, shake their hands, talk to them. Make suggestive sells or talk about upcoming promotions, the same way you’d like your staff to up-sell and promote. Your staff should notice and follow your example. Very few will do it by themselves. They must be shown the way.

P. Tap into each employee’s skills outside of work. Maybe some of your employees are college students who are developing skills in marketing, landscaping, public relations, computer technology, advertising or graphic design. If so, do you need help putting a brochure together? Do you need help with social media, a promotional event, gardening around the club? You might have a music major who could lend a hand with entertainment situations or band promotions.

average increase, sales per hour, or gross sales average per customer.

Broadcast or post the results of any contest on a bulletin board, which makes it become a peer pressure situation. Retrain those who don’t achieve goals. Reward those who do.

Cash is still the best motivation.

R. Teach your bartenders and servers to anticipate service needs, such as lighting cigarettes, a need for paper/ pen, drink refills, a glass or mug for bottled beer, change, etc. Some employees have natural instincts when it comes to anticipating service needs – most have to be taught.

S. Treat your employees better than you do your customers.

If your employees are happy, love their job and love working with you, don’t you think all of that transfers over to the customer? Of course it does.

A Pair of Classy Throwbacks 36

Bar Business Magazine September 2014

LAS VEGAS LOS ANGELES MIAMI

A brand new set of venues paired together — one above the other — in New York City’s swanky TriBeCa neighborhood marks an auspicious start to one owner’s first foray into the bar business, both featuring throwback vibes mixed with contemporary touches. Welcome to CHURCH STREET TAVERN and BANDIT’S ROOST. By Chris Ytuarte www.barbizmag.com

I

n the past 13 years, Jon Behling has worked for renowned brands such as the Gansevoort Hotel, Pink Elephant, SL, Sl East, Finale, Juliet Supper Club, South Point and most recently Gilded Lily. His appreciation for hospitality stems from his varied experience and background in the nightlife, restaurant, and hotel sectors. But this month, Behling takes his biggest plunge yet, opening a venue of his own for the first time; more impressively, two venues, paired together.

Located at 313 Church Street, in the heart of NYC’s richest precinct, TriBeCa, Church Street Tavern will take guests back to an old New York ambiance with vintage décor, featuring a classic American menu with a modern twist and a vibrant raw bar. Directly below that, Behling and his partner will also open a lounge called Bandit’s Roost, where guests will feel like they’ve stepped into the iconic Jacob Riis photograph from 1888 (titled “Bandit’s Roost,”) that depicts a mobster-ridden alley on Mulberry

www.barbizmag.com

Street. Guests will enjoy an extensive cocktail list and an open format DJ program in the Roost, while both floors of the 313 Church Street space will offer unparalleled levels of hospitality, aiming to quickly become one of New York City’s premier destinations for fine dining and nightlife.

“We really want to make it a New York kind of place with a New York feel, which is something we came up with it when we realized there weren’t a lot of places like that in the area,” explains Behling, who, with a partner, has formed Tribute Hospitality Group to own and operate the two venues. “It’s something we came up with when we saw the space. It was not designed very well in its old configuration. It had blue walls and blue ceilings and red chairs. It wasn’t a design that we liked at all, so we kind of gutted the whole thing and started from scratch.”

When guests enter the stunning 2,000 square foot space of Church Street Tavern, they will feel like

Church STreet Tavern takes guests back to an old New York ambiance with vintage décor and a classic American menu with a modern twist. they’ve gone back to New York City in the early 1900s, featuring a wall of exposed brick, black subway tiling that lines the adjacent wall, bronze finishes, antique mirrors, a concrete painted ceiling and exposed piping painted in brass. Church Street Tavern will accommodate 70 people seated with options ranging from long black tufted leather banquettes, various tables, and hightops near the bar.

For a more casual atmosphere, guests can enjoy the bar area, which is wrapped in brass with stained wood trim and offers extensive wine and signature cocktail menus.

“The design came first,” says Behling. “We saw what we wanted in our heads and we put in on paper. Then we kind of created the menu and the cocktails to fit the space and the area.

And we think the neighborhood can really use this kind of venue down there. There’s not too many places with a cool speakeasy or a great old school restaurant with a modern American New York feel.”

In addition to the fresh raw bar at Church Street Tavern, Chef De Cuisine Chris Burke offers a continental menu with dishes such as crispy artichoke with lemon-tarragon yogurt, Rock Hen with sherry reduction and duck fries salad, Broiled Halibut with tomato confit and soft herbs, as well as an array of fresh seasonable vegetables and sides, all perfect for sharing. The venue will also feature tableside classics such as steak tartar, and freshly pulled mozzarella with seasonal accompaniments. A budding celebrity, Burke has over 19 years of experience in the food industry including time spent with world famous chefs such as David Bouley, Daniele Boulud and Gordon Ramsey.

With Church Street Tavern, says Behling, “We’re catering to the TriBeCa crowd and the Wall Street people, and of course we want everyone uptown to come as well. But it’s more focused on the downtown crowd in the restaurant, and then the downstairs is going to be more of the party scene.”

Downstairs at Bandit’s Roost is a very exclusive 1,000-square-foot space with a capacity of 100 VIP-only guests.

Upon entrance, guests will be transported to some of New York City’s most dangerous and iconic allies of the early 20th century. Named after Jacob Riis’ iconic 1888 photograph of Bandit’s Roost alleyway and the mobsters that occupied it, the speakeasy will depict that time period, featuring a mirrored hallway and ceiling at the entrance, and inside, 38

Upstairs at Church Street Tavern is a sophisticated throwback vibe for eating and drinking alike. black and white tiled floors and red felt wallpaper will showcase the large photographs from the time period.

To enjoy the elevated state-of-theart DJ booth, sound system, and upscale bottle service ambiance at Bandit’s Roost, guests must adhere to doorman discretion or be an existing client lucky enough to receive a personalized entry card with the guest’s name and code written on the card. A quick text using their card’s code will alert management of their arrival. Weekly entry codes will also be e-mailed to select VIP guests to grant them entry to private events and/or existing daily and weekly parties.

“For the Bandit’s Roost, the space kind of fit the idea,” says Behling. “We saw the space and thought about what would fit best in there and how we could make it work. We feel like the exclusivity is great, it’s what New York needs. Everyone is tired of the big clubs and going out with herds of people. They want the exclusivity and something that’s like a members-only kind of place.”

The membership program for Bandit’s Roost is there to offer existing clientele and new clientele an elevated level of hospitality, but it’s not the only way to get in. The privileges of being a cardholder are mainly a fast www.barbizmag.com

and easy access and entry process.

When management is alerted via the code of their arrival, they can ensure their cardholder guests get in quickly and that their table is set up with their pre-determined bottle or cocktails of choice. Existing members come from Behling and his partner’s existing lists and they will invite frequent diners and on a weekly basis and send codes out to various VIPs and industry tastemakers. Guests without a card or code can just ring the buzzer outside and the doorman will come upstairs and help them. It’s a small venue, so entry will be at the doorman’s discretion but they don’t intend to be any tougher than any other downtown lounge.

“We’re not going to do much promoting for downstairs; it’s going to be internal promoting,” says Behling.

“We won’t even have a web site or anything like that.”

Behling and his partner were excited and intrigued by the area and the culture in the early 1900s, and the Jacob Riis photograph, “Bandit’s Roost,” gave them much inspiration; the entire Five Points neighborhood in general has always intrigued them. So when they saw the intimate space for Bandit’s Roost, Behling knew right away it was what they should do with it. “Downstairs we just wanted to have cool drinks that everyone likes and everyone feels comfortable drinking,” says Behling.

“It will hold about 80 to 100 people, with 10 tables, and we’ll have different DJs every night playing cool openformat music. You might hear Madonna or Led Zeppelin or Guns N’ Roses.”

While the dual spaces of Church Street Tavern and Bandit’s Roost co-exist in the same footprint, they will provide patrons with varying experiences. While diners can go downstairs to Bandit’s Roost, Behling and his partner anticipate the two venues will remain separate from one www.barbizmag.com

another. The upstairs bar is more of a laidback atmosphere catering to those looking for casual cocktails and conversation, or for those who came for dinner and have the option of a lively but casual atmosphere at the bar for cocktails after their dinner. But dinner at Church Street Tavern doesn’t necessarily feed into a night downstairs at Bandit’s.

“They are very different spaces,” says Behling. “When you’re upstairs, if you don’t know about the Bandit’s Roost downstairs, you can eat dinner and not even know it’s there. But we are

Inventory Woodwork™ Wines Celebrates Winemaking Follow your passion. Work Hard. Stay humble.™ Woodwork™, the latest wine brand released from Diageo Chateau & Estate Wines (DC&E) embodies this mantra through winemaking.

Woodwork™ believes the best work is done by hand and from the heart.

This combination creates a variety of wines that are used to craft blends unique to Woodwork. The use of oak staves provides robust flavors, but is low impact on the environment due to being more efficient in performance than traditional wine barrels. Three Central Coast grown varietals are available nationwide beginning today and will deliver distinct oak influences and fruit expressions. www.woodworkwines.com

Penny Blue XO Rum Released Rare stamp collectors – a.k.a. philatelists – know the Mauritian Penny Blue stamp as one of the world’s rarest in existence. Rum collectors – a.k.a. rum collectors – know Penny Blue XO as the award-winning Single Estate Mauritian Rum first introduced in 2013. Anchor Distilling Company and London’s Berry Bros. & Rudd Spirits announces the release of the second batch of Penny Blue XO Rum, distilled at Medine, the island’s oldest operational distillery, first opened in 1926. Penny Blue is a small-batch vatted rum, natural in color and non-chill-filtered, that is entirely produced on a single estate – from growing the sugar cane, to distillation, maturation and bottling.

Berry Bros. & Rudd’s spirits manager Doug McIvor and Medine’s master distiller Jean Francois Koenig carefully handpicked 22 casks for maturation – an array of barrels previously holding cognac, whisky or bourbon. Selected at their peak of maturity, each cask imparts its own personality and flavor profile; the combination delivers the full balance and complexity. Only 3,000 bottles are currently allocated for the U.S. For more information on Penny Blue XO and other products, visit www.indianoceanrum.com.

Cacao Cocktails Introducing Solbeso, the world’s first spirit distilled from fresh cacao fruit (at 80 proof, it bears little, if any, resemblance to chocolate), whose final production technique was finessed by the very talented Dave Pickerell (former Master Distiller of Maker’s Mark and consultant to a variety of craft spirits).

Buzzing among the bartender community as what just may be an entirely new category, Solbeso is still in a preliminary launch phase (currently only available in select locations in NYC, Miami & Los Angeles). It is backed by New World Spirits, a newly formed incubator and importer based in NYC with an advisory board full of current and former executives hailing from the likes of Diageo, Brown-Foreman, Treasury Wine, Anheuser Busch, and more. Solbeso’s story is incredibly different than anything else on the market. By pioneering every step of the production process - from cacao collection, to fermentation, to distillation - Solbeso has created the world’s first cacao fruit supply chain, vastly benefiting local communities in remote regions of Latin America along the way. Through modern technology, Solbeso has perfected the ancient art of fermenting the cacao fruit and is the first variation to be distilled. You can find out more by visiting www.solbeso.com.

Newcastle Werewolf Blood-Red Ale Howls Newcastle is resurrecting its popular Werewolf Blood-Red Ale, which was the top-selling imported limited edition in 2013. Like the nocturnal man-beast that serves as its namesake, Newcastle Werewolf has something of a split personality. Tear into a bottle or a pint and it mysteriously transforms – starting out smooth and mellow, then transforming to a bitter bite that will leave beer lovers howling for more. Newcastle Werewolf features a seasonally advantageous palate – sweet berry fruit with roasted caramel notes up front followed by a bite from Fuggle and Golding hops at the finish. It is brewed with rye malts, making it naturally blood-red in color, and is 4.5 percent alcohol by volume with 23.4 International Bittering Units.

Newcastle Werewolf will be supported by a national social and digital campaign, local sampling (where legal), and point of sale materials and displays at retail. Newcastle Werewolf is available nationally from August through October, Newcastle Brown Ale. Werewolf also will be available on draft at bars and pubs in most major markets. www.newcastlebrown.com

Campari® Releases Limited Edition Art Labels Campari, the legendary one-of-a-kind red spirit, announced the U.S. launch of Limited Edition art labels for 2014, modern interpretations of works originally created for Campari by legendary Italian Futurism artist Fortunato Depero in the 1920’s.

The trio of limited edition collectible labels arrive just in time for the holiday season and will grace 750 ml bottles at retail stores across the United States beginning in mid-October. The original art, depicting various occasions to enjoy Campari, were created in 1927 and 1928 for use as advertising. One of the labels from 1928 illustrates the popular Italian aperitif hour, now with a vibrant green background, while the second from 1927 depicts a collage-style character that represents Depero’s passion for Campari, now with a yellow background.

Completing the collection is an image originally created in color depicting the artist himself enjoying Campari on a bright purple background from 1928.

Owning Up

THE (NEURO)SCIENCE OF BREWING

FOR PHILIP VIEIRA, working on a Ph.D. in neuropsychology while starting a brewery has meant some sacrifices.

There have been 5 a.m. lab sessions to collect data for his research on different regions of the brain and the formation of memory. There have been midnight sessions of transferring beer to kegs and midnight neuropsychology data analysis marathons. And, there has been little time for long distance runs.

“That’s unfortunate because with this industry there is a lot of beer drinking and a lot of calories consumed,” Vieira said. “My scholarly body is being weighed down.”

In late May, Seven Brothers Brewery opened in Riverside with Vieira as its head brewer. (The name will soon change to Seven Brethren Brewery because of a trademark dispute that has required new licensing.)

The opening comes at a time of tremendous growth of breweries.

In June, the Brewers Association announced there are more than 3,000 breweries operating in the United States, almost double the number compared to 2010.

44

Bar Business Magazine September 2014

Seven Brethren is also part of another beer trend — the growth of brewery incubators. Brewery incubators allow multiple breweries to operate in the same location while sharing equipment, staffing and other costs.

Vieira’s brewery is one of three that share a 1,800-square-foot industrial space, which serves as a tasting room and manufacturing facility.

The three brewers are contract laborers under the company Brew Crew Inc., which leases the space and handles the business side of the operation.

Vieira compared the arrangement to that of a musician and music label.

This model allowed him to open a brewery without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars or having to get all the needed equipment, licenses and permits.

“As a grad student, the idea of me starting a brewery on my own would be ridiculous,” Vieira said. “But with this model I do one important thing — brewing beer — and the rest happens through the company.”

Vieira, 29, grew up in Modesto, CA, one of seven brothers. (The other brothers are all involved with the brewery, but in advisory roles.) After graduating from high school, Vieira spent three years traveling in Europe tracing his family roots, which includes a 16th century monastic brewer. He developed an interest in a variety of brewery traditions as he lived in the Czech Republic, Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom.

He returned to the United States, earned a bachelor’s degree from Fresno State and moved to Riverside for graduate school. The start of graduate school in 2009 coincided with Vieira beginning to brew beer at home.

He teamed up with Z Riesz, a fellow graduate student at UC Riverside.

They brewed in Vieira’s backyard using makeshift equipment from a WinCo grocery store and Home Depot.

Then, as Vieira put it, “the inner scientist” in him wanted feedback. He started entering his beers in competitions. At first he got terrible results.

But, the feedback itself was great. By 2012, he was winning awards and high praise at competitions throughout Southern California.

Several of those highly praised beers pay tribute to the city of Riverside, whose symbol is the raincross, and UC Riverside, whose nickname is the Highlanders. The beers include: RAINCROSS RED, an Irish red ale; TARTAN STRONG ALE, a Scottish strong ale; and RYESIDE ALE, a Scottish-American rye ale.

He also created several beers using ingredients foraged from the UC Riverside campus, including kumquats, grapefruit and oranges. In the future, he would like to use types of citrus found in UC Riverside’s citrus variety collection, which has more than 1,000 varieties.

While brewing at home, Vieira got to know Brad McCauley, the husband of one of his classmates, Jasenka Orion. McCauley, who also brewed at home, decided with another partner to create the brewery incubator that became Brew Crew Inc. He liked Vieira’s beers and asked him if he wanted to be one of the initial breweries. (McCauley runs Delicious Science, another one of the breweries at the incubator.)

Vieira, who is writing his dissertation and expects to receive his Ph.D. this fall, tries to spend only one full day a week at the brewery, but increasingly that is becoming two or three days a week.

“Brewing is a lot more fun than typing on a computer,” he said. www.barbizmag.com

f you’re planning on changing the game in 2015, first you have to know the name of the game, and in this industry, it comes down to one word: entertainment.

From that single four-syllable noun comes all other things in the bar business — success, profits, sales, revenue, crowds, reviews, longevity — they all come as a result of your ability to provide entertainment.

Changing the Game

On-premise, that can come in many forms. Maybe your drinks are so amazing that they themselves constitute entertainment; perhaps your colorful and knowledgeable staff are entertaining; do your 40 big screen TVs provide all the entertainment you need? How about a high-tech digital jukebox? Trivia events? A good burger? Advanced tap systems? Powerful POS? A killer sound system? Smart phone apps? Light shows? Projection screens? What is it?

What makes your venue entertaining?

Not only do we provide you, on a monthly basis in Bar Business Magazine, with some solutions for better serving and entertaining customers, but once a year we give you one of the most detailed and comprehensive listings of providers available to the marketplace in the form of our annual Buyer’s Guide. This year is no different.

Paired with our September 2014 digital issue, which includes the aforementioned articles of assistance (ID scanning technology, computer backup processes, bar sales improvement tips, and a case study in longevity from Atlanta — plus all the Bourbon cocktail recipes you can handle for National Bourbon Month) is our 2015 Buyer’s Guide. This is a thorough collection of suppliers and providers of all things nightlife, from the most elaborately entertaining to the most basically fundamental (and functional) equipment, technology, beverages and hardware.

Keep this digital collection handy on your iPad, desktop computer, or Smart phone. It’s a complete reference of every supplier you need to know to have a better 2015, and it’s designed to be easily searchable by category, company name, or specific product. Don’t get lost in the land of random Internet searches when you need something for your bar and you need it right away; just look to the 2015 Buyer’s Guide.

Remember, if you keep them entertained in one way or another, your customers will always come back. The key is to keep them happy and keep them enamored of what you can offer them that their own living room can’t. In the pages that follow are thousands of tools that will allow you and your bar to do just that.
