The Top 100 list represents the best of the best – the bars and clubs that keep the crowds coming, the energy high and the dollars flowing – and 2013 promises to be another roster of stellar operations.”
The survey also yields important information about industry trends and performance, allowing nightlife operators to benchmark their venues. In addition to the survey results, Technomic utilizes secondary research in developing the Top 100 roster.

Plus, the survey results are a tool for all operators to understand the trends, and provide a way to measure your own operation’s performance and spot new opportunities to grow.”
