To run a bar without the vision for Gen Z would be to develop a menu blindly.ย 

They spend less than Millennials did, yet spend when they do buy. They consult their phone on TikTok rather than Google. And when their discretionary spend comes in at $450 billion, they're quickly becoming the generation that makes or breaks your bar.ย 

That's why forward-thinking bar owners are listening. Gen Z isn't just another clientele group, they're redefining the economics, culture, and brand of nightlife.ย 

Learn what makes Gen Z tick, and discover how to create an experience that draws them in, wins their trust, and brings them back.ย 

๐Ÿ“Œ What Youโ€™ll Learn ๐Ÿ“Œ

ย ๐ŸŒŸ The shift in marketing: why TikTok and Instagram outrun Google and Facebook.
ย ๐ŸŒŸ How to turn beverage, space, event โ€œInstagramableโ€ to get free organic publicity.
