Nightclub & Bar magazine is pleased to announce that the 2010 Nightclub & Bar Top 100 – the industry’s only annual listing of high-volume nightclubs, bars and lounges – will be developed again this year through a partnership with leading hospitality and foodservice market research firm Technomic, Inc. Absolut Vodka is the exclusive sponsor of the Nightclub & Bar 2010 Top 100. Absolut is part of the Pernod Ricard USA portfolio of brands. 
By surveying operators from across the nation from Oct. 14 through Dec. 1, Nightclub & Bar and Technomic will identify the nightclubs, bars and lounges leading the industry in sales. The survey also will yield additional segmentation and performance benchmark information, and provide insights on this important aspect of the on-premise industry.
The 2010 Top 100 operators will be published in the March issue of Nightclub & Bar magazine and on its web site, www.nightclub.com. In addition, a special Super Session presentation during the 2010 Nightclub & Bar Convention and Trade Show will feature the results of the survey, as well as insights from select Top 100 nightclub, bar and lounge operators who are at the forefront of the industry. Finally, these leading operators will be honored at a lavish celebration during the 2010 Nightclub & Bar Convention and Trade Show in Las Vegas, March 8-10, 2010.
Nightclubs, bars and lounges will be able to complete the electronic-based survey beginning Oct. 14. The survey link will be e-mailed to Nightclub & Bar's audiences and available on its web site, www.nightclub.com. The survey will close Dec. 1.
