Born from Real Experience
Bottoms Up was founded when we realized that many independent Pubs, Bars & Restaurants were struggling to compete digitally with large chains and better-funded competitors, not because of quality or service, but because they lacked affordable digital tools to reach new customers effectively.
After speaking & working with a few of our local pubs, we realized the unique challenges they faced. Independent hospitality venues offer something special - genuine atmosphere, personal service, and community connections that chain operations simply can't match.
Today, we help independent Pubs, Bars & Restaurants showcase their personality online with a 100% FREE Business Directory, connect with their communities, and grow their businesses through affordable web services tailored to the hospitality industry.
Why Local Pubs, Bars & Restaurants Matter More Than Ever
Independent Pubs, Bars & Restaurants are facing unprecedented challenges from chain operations, rising costs, and the digital divide that favors larger competitors with bigger marketing budgets.
We're here to help these vital community hubs thrive in the digital age.
The Challenges Facing Independent Venues
Across the UK, USA, and globally, independent Pubs, Bars & Restaurants are disappearing from high streets at an alarming rate.
Squeezed between chain operations with massive marketing budgets and rising costs, these family-run businesses struggle to compete online.
- Independent Pubs declining by over 40% in the past decade
- Chain operations dominate search results and social media
- Rising costs make expensive marketing campaigns impossible
- Lack of affordable digital solutions tailored to hospitality
- Communities losing their local gathering places and social hubs
When a local pub, bar or restaurant closes, it's not just a business lost — it's the heart of the community, social connections, and local character that disappear with it.
What Makes Local Venues Special
Independent Pubs, Bars & Restaurants offer something chain operations can never replicate — genuine atmosphere, personal service, and community connections you can't find anywhere else.
- Character: Unique atmosphere and personality that reflects the local area
- Quality: Better ingredients, craft beverages, and chef-driven menus
- Community: Social hub where locals gather and connections are made
- Service: Personal attention from owners who genuinely care
- Local Pride: Supporting local suppliers and the regional economy
- Events: Live music, quiz nights, and community activities
Every pound spent at a local pub, bar or restaurant supports families, sustains communities, and preserves the character that makes each town unique.
