Creativity-Encouraging Bars

'The Doodle Bar' Encourages Patrons to Draw on Its Walls

— December 13, 2016 — Art & Design
While some restaurants opt for paper tablecloths so that customers can draw while they dine, 'The Doodle Bar' takes the concept one step further by letting patrons draw on the actual walls. With plenty of room to get creative, the bar is the perfect space for those who like to keep themselves busy while waiting for their order.

The Doodle Bar is a London-based bar and events space that is housed inside an old warehouse. One of the bar's biggest attractions is its chalkboard wall, which allows patrons to doodle to their heart's content. The bar also has a ping pong table and frequently hosts events such as crafting classes, workshops and private parties.

With a growing number of millennials tapping into their creative side, The Doodle Bar is a perfect spot for those attending Trend Hunter’s London innovation conference to witness the rise of maker culture.
