Make your pop-up a hit: music as the secret ingredient!

As summer approaches, pop-up bars and restaurants start appearing everywhere. A sunny terrace, delicious food and drinks, a lively atmosphere—and, of course, music to complete the experience! 

A well-chosen soundtrack sets the mood, attracts customers, and turns an ordinary night into a memorable event. Did you know that customers stay longer and even spend more when there’s music? The right sound isn’t just a nice extra—it’s a smart investment in your guests’ experience and the success of your pop-up. 

Creative ways to use music 

Want to make your pop-up stand out? Use music to create an immersive atmosphere and attract more visitors. Here are some inspiring ideas: 

• Theme nights: A Latin night with salsa beats, a nostalgic '90s throwback, or a smooth jazz evening—each creates a unique vibe. Match the mood with themed cocktails or special dishes inspired by the music theme. 
• Live music: Intimate acoustic sets enhance the ambiance and make your pop-up a must-visit spot for music lovers. 
• Audience interaction: Let customers vote for the night’s playlist via social media. This adds an interactive touch and increases engagement.
