We all miss our bar. Hanging out with friends, deep conversations over Gin & Tonics, meeting great new people, the atmosphere. Even though these things will never be replaced, at Maverick we’ve made this modern digital artifact to keep you company while this awful pandemic, which profoundly affects our industry throughout the world, finally passes and we can meet again safely

"Sound can fill a room with a digital tool, in a really natural way, and the only thing you have to do is maybe close your eyes -- as simple as that."

Brand consultant Andrea Hernández, who has worked from home is one of these regulars. "Imissmybar.com is the best productivity hack working from home, (it) hits incredibly good when listening in the afternoon," she said.

The website isn’t heavy on visuals but uses sound design to re-create the ambiance of an evening in a crowded bar. It features adjustable sounds like a bartender working, the ambient sounds of a full room, and a curated playlist. Throw it on while sipping a drink at home, and consider the tool an immersive and intoxicating cocktail of its own, which will transport you back to an evening out before COVID-19.

To pick the mix of sounds, the team brainstormed with the bartenders and tested mixes on audio software and narrowed the ingredients down from an initial list of 20 sounds. A tipsy group of friends, a conversation with a bartender, and an occasional breaking glass were left on the cutting room floor. In the end, they landed on seven sounds in total: a bartender working, people talking, a full room, rain on the windows, street and night ambiance, and drinks being served, in addition to a curated playlist.

head to I Miss My Bar, where, unlike real life, you can choose just how loud everyone is talking. You can also tweak the volume of a number of different sound effects that might make you even more nostalgic for better times, like the clinks of a bartender working, corks being popped, liquid being poured into a glass, the rain pattering on a window, horns honking outside, you get the idea — the normal commotion of pre-pandemic gatherings.
