Immersive Convenience Store-Themed Bars

Convenience Store NQ Offers a Unique Cocktail Experience

— December 2, 2019 — Marketing
In contemporary times, brands have been pioneering a multitude of ultra-imaginative and unique cocktail experiences. Another one of these comes from Convenience Store NQ, located on 100 High St in Northern Quarter Manchester, United Kingdom. There is little information about the destination on the Internet, however, the dim-lit ambiance, the convenience store-like decor, and the ornate bar paint a promising picture. Convenience Store NQ is marketed across social media platforms as "not another fuckin' Tesco Express,' signifying that the business itself is perhaps a rebellion of sorts.

The pleasantly themed bar sets the grounds for an immersive and unique cocktail experience that will entice consumers to kick back and enjoy a drink or two. Whether you know you are walking into a bar or you simply think it is a convenience store, the atmosphere will surely be enough to make you stay.
