30 Times People Spotted Exciting Creativity In Bars And Restaurants And Just Had To Share
Even more than the obvious, practical purpose of being watered and fed, we go to bars and restaurants for the atmosphere. A place could have the finest cuisine and the tastiest beers in the world, but if it doesn't have any soul, any feeling, are you truly going to enjoy the experience?
Probably not. That's why when we do find a joint with a ton of character, we like to celebrate it. This list of bars and restaurants, compiled by Bored Panda, comes from customers that just had to share the funny, kooky and unique things that they've encountered on a night out - these spots go the extra mile to make sure their visitors get a truly memorable experience!
Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

Bar In Nebraska Doing It Right
So how to create that elusive atmosphere? With thanks to culinary blog Restaurant Tallent, here are some basic concepts to keep in mind:
Restaurant concepts: The restaurants with concepts attract people. If you have a particular cuisine, then you can design the restaurant with the idea of that country or culture. For example, if the restaurant is Chinese then you can create the restaurant with things that will make the customers feel like they are in China. You can also add a story on how the restaurant was founded and place artwork and pictures of the history of the restaurants.
Cleanliness: Who would prefer anything which is not clean? People can get very cautious when they eat out. If your restaurant is not clean, then there are chances you may never see that customer again. Make sure to change the linen and have clean dishes.

This Restaurant In Austin Is Catching The US Up With The Rest Of The World
That's how things work in EU, Definitely, in Italy it works this way. Tips are given (not every time, not in all places) in appreciation of an outstanding service, they are not supposed to be the employees' wage.
Lighting: The lighting should not be too bright that it blinds your customers and also not so dim that they are not able to look at what they eat. Again depending on the clients and the situations you must alter the lighting.
Music: Depending on the situation you can choose the genre of music. Music can be very pleasing to hear while eating. You can prefer light jazz or pop music to have a peaceful setting. You can also set your music based on your cuisine.

Menu Design: Many may not think much about the menu card, but the menu card can attract and define the ambiance of the restaurant. Take time to create the menu card in such a way that each meal has a description of what the meal is. You can also add pictures so that the customers will know better about the food they are ordering.
Dishes, silver ware, and linens: Choose your dishes and silverware in such a way that it matches with your restaurant. Always have clean washed linens and make sure that in any situation you do not serve your customers with dirty dishes.
Pretty basic stuff, but very important nonetheless! All that's left to do now is add your own personal touch!

You are the third person that I have read to use the word 'brilliant' related to this restaurant post. My sister-in-law from England uses that word all the time to describe something wonderful and I THINK THAT IS BRILLIANT! Using at work tomorrow and the goal is at least three times. (Canada) Cheers
Load More Replies...I have seen one for kids and I am pretty sure it was on BP.
Load More Replies...I've seen that on another menu probably on Bored Panda.
Load More Replies...Reminds me of the kids' menu where dishes have names like "I don't know" or "I don't care". That may be here, I haven't read the entire post.
"I'm not hungry" Is just another way of saying "I don't think I can afford to eat, but I want to be with friends and too polite to ask for help".
There needs to be a "I don't know" restaurant. I always suck at making decisions.
I have friends like this, can SO relate. I'm like Joey from Friends. Makes me mad....
Sweet....but you know someone will cry this is sexist..but omg oh sooooo true
It is only sexist with what Bored Panda said. Referring to “she” when the menu itself never said anything about gender. And that’s because ANY gender has done that.

Ooooo! No! Bad idea! It's always good to have a bartender to act as a barrier between the person and the alcohol. Over a decade ago, when I still drank, I went to a Greek night in Corfu where each person was given a jug to fill with wine from the barrels outside. There was no limit to how many times you could fill up. I think I'm still drunk!

Yay I'm 7 months sober from being a messed up crazy alcoholic!! :) also these posts were good.
I saw a sign in front of a bar on 5th Ave in NYC. It said, "When you think about it, alcohol is a solution."
As sad as it is, a great number of people have no respect for Donald Trump, he is possibly the worst example of a president in history, many of us remain stunned, that he was elected, I am Canadian, but unfortunately, here we also have people in power, that should not be, it's in the news for all to see !!!
These were very interesting, fun to read of the creativity, Please help me to understand,the big need to use PROFANITY, I do use at times, but do think it's ugly for women to use, I am sure there are some words in the dictionary, that could get your message across, too many young kids with a foul mouth,I don't blame them as they hear it everywhere, at home and the streets, sorry, I don't see the need, just my opinion !!!
Awesome, even though many in the 'middle' didn't load for me, smh.
