Overview

Sports bar, live music room and golf-simulator venue in Arlington Heights, trading since 2012. The site had to sell an in-person experience and take the booking without a phone call.

The case

The problem

A venue with eight golf simulators, eight billiards tables, live bands and UFC nights was flattening into one undifferentiated page. Guests could not see what a given night actually looked like, and every reservation cost the floor staff a phone call.

What we built

A venue-first site built around what changes: an events calendar, a full food and drink menu, a gallery that carries the room's atmosphere, and online booking wired straight into the reservation flow. Built to rank for the local searches that actually convert.

  • Reservations taken online, off the phone
  • Events, menus and gallery editable without a developer
  • Built to be found in local search
