Case Study: BAR Night Club
A Modern Digital Experience
for a New Haven Icon
The Client
BAR New Haven is a legendary nightlife destination, known for its pizza, beer, and unforgettable dance floor. With a reputation to match its energy, BAR needed a website that lived up to the experience they offer in person.
The Challenge
BAR’s existing site no longer met their needs — especially when it came to managing large party reservations and delivering a streamlined experience across mobile devices. They partnered with branding agency Group C for a visual overhaul and turned to 3PRIME to bring the new digital vision to life.
