Bar/Club Design

peterb

My firm is beginning design for a new jazz club that's a rehab of an existing 2-story brick 100+ yr old bldg. Any suggestions for books, projects, etc. you'd recommend that deal w/ performance space and/or bar & club design?
A couple of the issues we'll be tackling are acoustic design, multi-story circulation (between main performance/bar floor, 2nd floor lounge, & a roof-top patio/outdoor performance space.)
Any tips are much appreciated. Thanks.

can't think of anything off the top of my head...what i would suggest is go out to some successful clubs/bars and see what has been done, or what is being done...sometimes the greatest resource is what is right around the corner. besides it'll be a lot of fun in the process

what city is very important too..

if in nyc, then this question could be easily answered by going to web pages of lounge/bar/clubs- just punch in 'nyc lounge club bar' in any search engine and voila'. some even give the architects or interior designer

i'll assume the same for most cities..

examples:

have to second kyll on emphasizing the importance of the club's location, see the work of bernard khoury for good examples of how a strong understanding of cultural context can transcend the rather fleeting notions of fashion usually associated with a club and begin to rub elbows with the monumental (see BO18 in beirut for example)
