Chess-Themed Bar Ideas

Sort:

My partner and I both work in hospitality and would like to open our own chess-themed bar one day. Would anyone care to share what they would like to see in such a bar? We have some ideas already:

- 5 cocktails named after the major pieces, each with a different base:

King - Whisky
Queen - Tequila
Rook - Rum
Bishop - Vodka
Knight - Gin

We would also have a 6th cocktail called Checkmate which would basically be like a Long Island iced tea.

- a chess board printed onto each table and you can rent a set of pieces from the bar

- king’s crown as a symbol for gents’ toilets, queen’s crown as a symbol for ladies’ toilets

Does anyone have any ideas to throw in? We have the experience and the ability to make this happen so I’d love to have your input!
