The rise of sport-themed bars and the best ones to visit
Bars are constantly looking for new ways to stand out from the crowd, and that is being done in a number of different ways in the modern era. Opening a bar can often prove troublesome with fierce competition for customers, but many landlords are taking a completely new approach and putting a sport-themed twist on their establishments.
These have already become very popular across the world, with the success of Top Golf in the US now reaching Europe, and many looking to branch out into new sports to offer their clientele something slightly different.
Success of sports themed bars
It isn’t great surprise to see bars trying to tap into the world of sport, as the two have been connected since the dawn of time. However, bars just being a place to watch the latest action looks to be a thing of the past, as a number of venues have gone one step further by offering customers the opportunity to get involved in sports games while they are enjoying their night out with friends.
A number of examples can already be found across the biggest cities in the world, with bars allowing customers opportunities to get involved in sports such as baseball, football and cricket. Here are some of the most popular sports-themed bars in the United Kingdom.
Sixes
It isn’t any surprise that cricket was always going to be one of the most popular selections for a sports-themed bar, as it attracts massive audiences across the country and further afield. However, few offer the same option to customers as Sixes. Visitors can get involved with the bat at establishments across the United Kingdom, with bars already open in Birmingham, Manchester and London.
Those visiting can try their luck in the nets and test out their batting skills, with the bowling speed determined by the visitor depending on how highly they rate themselves.
Toca Social
The summer can often be a difficult time for football fans as a period without the sport while they are made to wait and count down until the start of another domestic season.
Fortunately, Toca Social will be a welcome distraction for visitors, as they will be able to get involved in football games throughout the pre-season and take on a number of different challenges with the help of ball-tracking technology. The party doesn’t stop after a kick around either: there is a house DJ and a wide range of tasty dishes on the menu.
Ghetto Golf
There have constantly been ways that golf has tried to jazz itself up and become a popular choice in the mainstream. Ghetto Golf has certainly successfully managed that, as it has become a popular nightlife activity for millions across the UK.
Combining mini golf, cocktails and a party atmosphere, it has quickly become a regular hot spot for those looking to go out with friends or on date night, with 18 holes to navigate across a very swanky course.
