What to put on a listening bar menu

    Highballs and cocktails

    Five or six drinks, each with its spirit and one or two flavors.

  3. 3

    Natural wine

    Say what makes each one different, like skin contact or a light fizz.

  4. 4

    Coffee and tea

    Hand-drip coffee, and a low-caffeine tea for late listeners.

  5. 5

    Sweets

    One or two, like a cheesecake, to go with coffee.

Write the descriptions

Natural wine names mean little to most guests. Say where it's from, its color and how it tastes.

Funky and alive.

Before you print the QR code

  • The menu reads easily in low light: strong contrast, large enough text.
  • Each natural wine says what style it is.
  • Drinks with egg white say so, like the umeshu sour.

Edits go live on the same link, so a printed code keeps working. Read the setup guide

Questions about a listening bar menu

What is a listening bar?

A bar built around playing records on a good sound system. Guests come to listen, so the menu stays simple.

Should the menu list the records?

Not on the menu itself. A button can link to a page with tonight's records, if you share them.

Should the menu have a dark design?

Either works if the contrast is strong, like the dark text on this example's pale paper. Test it on a phone in your darkest corner.
