Creating Cosy Outdoor Bar Spaces at Racks

Background

Racks is a popular bar and kitchen in Bristol. The management got in contact as they were seeking heating for their large outdoor terrace area. The Covid-19 pandemic situation and requirement for outdoor socialising has led to outdoor areas becoming a crucial lifeline for many bar owners and restaurateurs. Racks has created The Pavilion, a brand new pop-up covered terrace, branded as Bristol’s new premium heated outdoor space.

Solution

For the colder months, the bar owners have now added a stretch tent that has been designed to perfectly suit social distancing requirements. Both the Herschel Manhattan and Herschel Miami infrared heaters have been installed throughout the covered, outdoor terrace area, creating a very inviting and cosy space for clients over winter.

The 3kW Manhattan heater and 2kW Miami both have Herschel’s premium low glare heating lamps, ideal for instant heating of outdoor bar spaces with fast warm up times. They also have mirror aluminium reflectors preventing rearward heat loss. The manager of Racks, Jamie Atherton, has been so impressed with their heaters they are now being installed within their other hospitality premises.

“We set out to create outdoor spaces that have a real wow factor and the Herschel team really stepped up to help with this. We have used a combination of Manhattan heaters and Miami heaters to achieve all-around heat in stretch tents. Not only do the heaters look great, but they give off a captivating warming glow, which has made our spaces feel cosy and inviting.”
