Web design for pubs and bars, built for the phone at night.
People open a bar's website late, on a phone, deciding between two places. Yours has to show what you pour, what it costs, what is on tonight and whether there is a table, before they have finished their drink.

Why the night goes to the place next door.
The drinks list is a download
A PDF on a phone in a dark room is unreadable, and it still lists last winter's specials.
What's on lives on Instagram
Quiz night, the band on Friday and the match on Saturday are buried in a feed. Someone searching for tonight cannot find them.
The kitchen hours are a guess
The bar is open until eleven and the kitchen stops at nine. If the site shows one set of hours, people arrive hungry at half nine.
Private hire goes to a general inbox
A birthday for thirty is worth more than a quiet Tuesday. An enquiry that sits in the same inbox as the supplier emails gets answered late.
What a pub or bar site needs.
Each part of the page answers a question someone asks on their way out of the door.
- The drinks list as a real page, legible at arm's length in low light, with prices
- A what's-on list you update in a minute: quiz nights, live music and the matches you show
- Bar hours and kitchen hours set out apart
- Table booking in one tap, or a request that reaches your phone
- A private hire form that asks the date and numbers, and goes to the person who handles it
- Allergen information beside the food menu
- A look that matches the room, dark if the room is dark
What people check before they come.
Most of these change week to week. The site has to let you change them just as fast.
What's on
Dated lines for quiz nights, bands and screenings, so last month's gig never sits at the top of the page.
The matches you show
Which fixtures, on which screens, and whether booking is worth it. Sports fans plan their evening around this line.
Beer garden, dogs and step-free access
The small facts that decide a Sunday afternoon, stated once and kept true.
Bookings
DesignMyNight, ResDiary or SevenRooms if you use one; a simple request form if you do not.
We connect the booking system you have. You do not need a new one to use the site.
A cocktail bar in Leeds.
The Lark Room's site is set for 22:40, the hour it gets read: a dark ground, the drinks list first with specs and prices, and the Sunday aperitivo as one dated line the bar changes in a minute.
