Is it a bar or a restaurant?
There’s a fundamental shift that seems to be going on in restaurants. As with life, things keep getting more casual and the line between a bar and restaurant continues to blur.
I realize nothing emerges in a vacuum. The trend is a result of several parallel threads coming together. During the dot-com boom last decade we saw the emergence of the large restaurant lounge; many new restaurants of that era gave over large amounts of space to the bar because young affluent patrons wanted a drop-in casual experience.
Along with that came the rise of “grazing,” the fact that diners wanted to eat more communally, and to nibble on several appetizers rather than the more traditional appetizer and main course. If you notice today, even at traditional restaurants, the appetizer menu is at least twice as big as the main course offerings.
