Bars & Nightclubs in the US

Bars and nightclubs are in-person businesses. It is nearly impossible for them to conduct business otherwise. During periods of nonessential business closures, most bars and nightclubs were unable to operate at all. Even when they reopened, social distancing measures and health concerns meant caps on the number of customers allowed inside at a given time and fewer patrons in general. The sharp decline in operations resulting in revenue tanking in 2020. In 2021, bars and nightclubs reopened in full and the public began getting vaccinated, relieving many of social distancing concerns. As a result, revenue skyrocketed in 2021 and continued growing strong in 2022. Over the five years to 2023, revenue will grow at a CAGR of 2.2% to $36.4 billion, including a decline of 0.3% in 2023 alone.
