Abstract

Consumers are drinking less alcohol in bars and restaurants as they look for ways to cut back on spending amid recessionary pressures and adoption of healthier lifestyles. When they do drink, however, they dare drink better, perhaps as a way to somehow make up for having to pass on other enjoyments in life.

Our research reveals that there are significant opportunities for bars and restaurants to "lead patrons to the trough" by providing them with alternatives such as cocktails made from premium spirits with trendy flavoring and functionality enhancements, and craft brewed beer and wines that have shed the "stuffy" image.

To clarify these opportunities, this report includes extensive consumer analysis as well as sales data that reveal:

  • Four types of drinkers and their drinking habits and preferences defined
  • What is keeping customers from drinking and how to get them more engaged
  • What consumers are drinking at bars and restaurants, and how much they are spending
  • Who the primary demographics are and what appeals to them the most
  • Insights on how to lure in the best drinkers and get them to try new products
