When the temperatures slowly rise and we spend more time in the fresh air, playing in nature, catching the sun's rays and enjoying refreshing and chilled drinks, then we know that summer has finally arrived. This warmest time of the year brings feelings of joy, freedom and relaxation, and also stimulates in us the need to socialize and have fun. In the following, we therefore present various activities that will enrich your summer offer and will make guests happy to stop by your place.
Some are suitable even for the smallest terraces, others require a little more space or just a greater degree of creativity, and all of them provide additional value that will attract many guests.
With the right amount of imagination, any bar can be large enough to hold a thematic event. Recently, quiz nights, better known as trivia nights, have become extremely popular. To organize a quiz night, you only need a few tables and chairs and a board where you will write down the results.
The same applies to karaoke, which will be especially successful if you offer some drinks at a special price along with them, or if you arrange a happy hour before turning on the microphone. With the help of social networks, you can spread the word about your event quickly and for free. The organization of such events can be arranged throughout the year, so that, for example, every other Tuesday is reserved for a quiz or that guests have the opportunity to show their singing talent on the third Saturday of every month.
You can combat the high temperatures with refreshing drinks and the wind. But here we don't just mean turning on fans and air conditioning, especially if your bar is located in an environment surrounded by nature. In addition to refreshments, you can also offer your guests bicycle or scooter rental. Cycling is one of the most pleasant ways to exercise in the warm months. If you are surrounded by hills, you can enrich your offer with electric bikes/skids, which make overcoming more challenging climbs a real adventure.
Before they leave, you can offer the guests some refreshments, otherwise after several hours of driving in nature, with the wind in their hair, they will certainly be happy to drink some orangeade or iced coffee when they return the equipment.
There's nothing wrong with turning your customers' worlds a little upside down sometimes. Especially if there is a great deal of fun and laughter along with it. Zorb is a huge ball made of special PVC that two people can strap into and roll down the hill together. If there is a hill or a hill near your bar, you can allow your customers to go down the ramp strapped into this big ball and have incredible fun while doing so. You can even organize a competition and arrange a competition track. It is not even necessary to offer zorbing all summer, you can only offer it on certain days or weekends.
Zorbing is not just rolling down the hill, you can even organize football or walking on water with various zorb balls. In any case, physical activity will stimulate thirst and hunger in them. So if you also offer a "dizzying" discount on your offer, all the better!
Slackline walking has been winning over outdoor sports enthusiasts for the last few years. Not only is it fun and beneficial for the body, you can do it practically anytime and anywhere. Is your bar surrounded by trees? Then you can use this to your advantage and stretch the tape between the two trees at the height between your knees and hips. It can be used by just about anyone, although the first steps may be a little shaky, so we must also take care of safety. Since people today are already a bit spoiled and we are used to always having something going on around us, we also start to get bored quickly. If you decide to set up slack in or near your bar, your customers will definitely not get bored. Not only will they be able to participate in sports themselves, everyone likes to see how someone else is doing.
Don't forget that children are also your current and future guests, who have their own wishes, needs and personality. When you make the children happy, you automatically make the parents happy too. Place games near your bar, you don't even need to overdo it. In most cases, just some swings or a sandbox are enough. Climbing games and, of course, slides are also extremely popular. Also, if you may not have children yet, you've probably seen parents who "struggled" with bored children and quickly left the scene as a result. So make sure that your children can get distracted, on rainy days even crayons and some paper are enough, and as a result parents will prefer to come to you and stay longer.
After all the sports activities that we have listed above, it is also necessary to take care of relaxation in the evenings. Outdoor cinema is a pleasant summer activity, for which in principle you do not need anything other than a good film, a projector, a screen and speakers. You don't even have to limit it to your patio, you can extend it to your parking lot as well. At the same time, of course, popcorn or any other snacks are necessary, and the tour can begin! Due to the legislation, it will be more profitable for you to write to young, not yet established filmmakers for permission to screen the film, but this method can also pay off with some successful Slovenian filmmakers.
You can also organize a small concert. Invite local, as-yet-unknown musicians, who will be delighted to have the opportunity to introduce themselves. Not only will you spice things up and break the routine every day, but you will definitely attract some new customers in this way. In any case, due to the nature of the events, we advise you to inquire well before the organization about the necessary bureaucracy that may arise.
With all this in mind, of course, first of all, take care of the competence of your employees, because it is mainly their communication and service that depends on how the guest will experience your bar. A satisfied guest means more revenue. At the same time, he will return and spread a good word among his acquaintances. Could we ask for anything more?
