What Makes A Good Bar, Pub or Nightclub?

Going out with friends can often lead to disappointment, and we can often attribute this to more than just too many drinks, it is often the environment. Hang around some Sydney bars and you will know exactly what we mean. Before you go out next time, put some thought into what you are looking for, and after considering these issues, you will find that you have a much better time. Some hidden issue that effect us greatly.

• Interior Design and Lighting. Mood is everything especially when we are paying for it. Colour and lighting can have a big amount of effect on our moods. Psychologist study for years on this subject but many venue owners seem to think that they have all the answers. Even what materials are used will influence the way that you feel. Paints that give off the wrong type of chemicals can make you feel very wrong. A pink room will make people calm.
• Crowd. More than half of a venue and the way it feels is made up of the other people. A place that looked great when it was empty may change when it is full of a type of people that does not fit you and your friends. A very important issue to consider.
• Security. Security that makes you feel safe and not under threat is long overdue. A common problem in Australia and it seems that there is always another story in the newspapers or TV where customers were bashed or beaten by over zealous bouncers. Good Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne bars, any city for a matter of fact, will have professional security that is skilled in stopping violence, and knowing how to manage that WITHOUT the use of violence. Intimidation can disturb that feel good factor.
• Music Quality. Music quality does not just mean the type of music that they are playing. A perfect example in night clubs, is the use of vinyl. Vinyl records produce a much larger sound wave than that of CDs, and you may note that more people will tend to dance and they will have a much better experience with larger sound waves. This is because of the influence that the sound waves have on our bodies and brain.
• Air Quality. For many years club operators would inject oxygen into their air systems to make customers feel better and be on a kind of high. This is outlawed nowadays but it highlights the importance of good air quality. If you are lacking oxygen you might not notice it much. This can have a big impact on the way you are feeling especially when consuming alcohol. Have you ever walked out of somewhere and then can barely remember the rest of the night? This was because you were starved of oxygen when inside the venue, and then got a blast of it when you went outside, making you extremely intoxicated. This is something to be very wary of.

Good times and good fun is more than just finding somewhere that you like, it is about feeling your way through your fun, and this is often why you think more of one place more than another. Subtle influences in our environment have a big impact on us as an individual and on the group. Many of these factors are hidden and play on our emotions and senses. The more that you become aware of them the better you will be able to identify why you like particular venues.
