A website for a bar or gastropub where the drink menu gets equal billing with the kitchen
A bar or gastropub site earns its keep by giving the cocktail and beverage program the same structured treatment as the food menu, since for a lot of guests the drink list is the reason they picked you, and a site that treats it as an afterthought undersells the room.
What usually goes wrong for bars and gastropubs
- The cocktail list is buried below the food menu or missing from the site entirely.
- Happy hour times and specials live on a sign by the door, not on the site, so people planning ahead never see them.
- There is no events page for trivia, live music or watch parties, so that audience finds out from a flyer instead of a search.
- Reservation and walk-in wait information are inconsistent between the site and what the host stand actually does.

Happy hour and events board
A happy hour and events section on the homepage kept current as part of your weekly detail updates, so specials and live music nights are as easy to find on the site as they are on the sign by the door.

What bars and gastropubs owners notice first
Most of our visitors are on phones, so that is where I reviewed the new restaurant reservations pages. The essentials are within the first screen, with an obvious way to inquire. Staff can now text a single link mid-call instead of narrating the menu.
Manisha ShettyTable bookings administrator, Mexican cantina restaurant, Provo, UtahMobile navigation and page layout for restaurant reservationsThe restaurant reservations preparation page does one job and does it well. It explains what the first conversation needs, and deliberately asks for nothing sensitive online. We include it in our first response as standard.

Read the comparisonsQuestions from bars and gastropubs
Can the drink menu get its own page separate from food?
Yes, a dedicated drinks and cocktail menu page is one of the pages we build for bars and gastropubs, formatted the way you organize your list, whether that is by spirit, by style or as a seasonal rotation.
Can happy hour times and specials be kept current?
Yes. Updating happy hour times or specials is a revision like any other, included at the website, fully managed with 5 a month and no size limit, or handled as part of a weekly detail update on a plan that includes it.
Do you build a page for private parties and buyouts?
Yes, with an enquiry form asking for the date, headcount and occasion, routed into your CRM by API, Zapier or Make so a large private party request does not get missed in a general inbox.
Can you add an events calendar for trivia and live music?
Yes, an events page or section is one of the named pages we build, and it is kept current the same way the rest of your site is, through your monthly revisions or weekly detail updates depending on your plan.
