Nightclub furniture can be a challenging buying decision, with many venues needing to cater for several different seating styles, potentially very long opening hours that include both daytime and night-time - through until the early morning - and a desire to leave a large area clear for use as a dance floor.
This need to be 'all things to all people' translates into a major headache in terms of how best to allocate the budget for nightclub furniture that serves as many needs as possible, or can be substituted out with other purpose-specific furniture when required.
A typical nightclub might include a bar area - often in a separate, smaller room from the main bar and dance floor - with pub-style seating, poseur tables, and adaptable areas for groups of different sizes to sit together and enjoy a conversation away from the loudest part of the club.
In these parts of your venue, the choice of furniture available to you can be very wide indeed, from traditional pub chairs made of wood, to bistro-style metal seating, or sleek leather chairs, sofas and stools that help to create the sense of your premises as being stylish and contemporary.
You may open in the daytime to serve coffee and cocktails, and if so this could influence your choice of furniture in a slightly different direction, pushing you more towards plush leather armchairs, and away from simple stools for customers to perch upon.
What may only be a smoking area at night could become a beer garden in the early evenings, or a terrace in the daytimes, and again your furniture needs to accommodate all of these different uses, with stackable metal chairs a good place to start for durability and versatility.
Inside, you might want to make the most of your interior space by providing additional seating to daytime customers, particularly if you open as a cafe or coffee shop during daylight hours.
Again, stackable chairs can be an intelligent investment, as they can quickly be cleared away into a store room as you set up for your evening opening hours and prepare the dance floor for another night of action.
