According to Google, a bar is a counter in a pub, restaurant, or cafe across which drinks or refreshments are served.
The hospitality industry is home to the idea of bars and establishments that serve drinks and refreshments on ice for public enjoyment and consumption.
The origin of bars can be traced back to ancient Greece and Rome. Across cities and the countryside, taverns sold alcoholic beverages with food to travelers for a fee. As time went on the taverns expanded their services to include gaming and other forms of entertainment to the delight of the public. The structure of the taverns changed once more with the fall of the Roman Empire, the number of these taverns began to decrease and offering only food, lodging, and stables for travelers.
Just like in its early years, the concept of bars has evolved, and out of this has come the 24-hour bar system. In this system, bars stay open for 24 hours straight in order to serve beverages to paying customers. Different establishments in the hospitality industry have adopted the system of leaving their establishments open for 24 hours in order to accommodate their customers.
From this 24 hour system arose certain perks, so in this blog post, we are going to examine the perks of having a 24-hour bar as a stand-alone business or as part of a larger establishment like a hotel.
