Ice lollies

If you own a bar or nightclub without air conditioning, the temperature can become almost unbearable when the venue is filled to capacity. Revellers will be dancing the night away and a good way to help them to cool down is to provide free ice lollies, with staff making their way around the venue handing out these treats. Not only will this make people feel more comfortable but also they will be sure to remember your venue as somewhere that really takes care of its customers.
