Post recessions can be good for bar sales and another reason to buy a night club in this economy. After all, after times are tough, people need another outlet. Drink consumption and the social aspects that come with it drive more beverage sales. Also, and once economic times improve, people are more apt to begin another round of celebrations again.

Read these excerpts from the latest Technomic study that suggests this and more: – Total alcohol sales in on-premise outlets are expected to grow 2.3% in 2011, outpacing total food and beverage sales (2.0%), Technomic reports.
