Can the video feature our cocktails and drinks prices?

Yes, when the website presents them clearly. The browser can capture cocktail names, ingredients, photographs and prices from menu pages or cards. A menu available only as a dense PDF may be harder to use, so place the drinks you want promoted in readable page content with current details.

Can we make an ad for a specific bar event?

The first video is created from the website alone, so the event needs a visible page or listing with its date, time, act or theme and booking information. Later videos accept a prompt, allowing you to request a stronger focus on a quiz night, tasting, live set or DJ booking.

Which video format should a bar choose?

Use 1080x1920 vertical video for placements built around full-screen phone viewing. Use 1920x1080 horizontal video where a landscape frame suits the channel or screen. Both formats render at 30fps in H.264. Choose based on where the bar will publish, not on which crop preserves every website element.

Will a trending sound be included in the exported bar ad?

Trending sounds are supplied as a link for you to attach natively on the publishing platform. They are not baked into the exported file because baked-in audio does not count as using that sound. The rendered video still includes synthesised audio normalised to -14 LUFS unless your publishing workflow replaces it.

Show people what a night at your bar feels like

Sizzledraft turns a bar website into a short video ad using real page screenshots, its brand tokens and synthesised audio. It can feature the venue atmosphere, drinks menu and upcoming events in a format made for social publishing.

Opening lines that work here

Your Friday night could look like this
It places viewers inside the bar experience immediately and gives atmosphere footage a clear purpose.
Three cocktails worth leaving the house for
It turns specific drinks from the menu into a simple reason to visit rather than showing generic bar imagery.
Live music, cold drinks, one address
It combines the event, bar offer and location in a compact opening that helps viewers decide quickly.

How can a bar website become a video ad?

Sizzledraft opens the bar's URL in a headless browser and captures real parts of the page, such as room photography, cocktail cards, event listings, opening hours and location details. It then builds scenes using the site's own colours, typography and visual style instead of placing the content in an unrelated template. The first video is cut from the website alone, so the page should clearly show what makes the venue worth visiting. Later videos can accept a prompt, such as focusing on happy hour, a guest DJ or a new seasonal drinks menu. The finished ad can be vertical at 1080x1920 or horizontal at 1920x1080, rendered at 30fps in H.264.

What should a bar put on its website before making an ad?

Lead with recent photographs that show the room during service, not only empty tables in daylight. Add a readable drinks menu with cocktail names, ingredients and current prices as page text when possible. Give each event its own clear date, start time, performer or theme, booking status and ticket link. Opening hours, street address and any entry rules should be easy to find without opening a booking widget. These details let the video move from atmosphere to a concrete reason to visit. If the page promotes several nights at once, decide which one matters most and make that event prominent before generating the first video. A focused source page produces a clearer ad than a homepage crowded with old posters and competing offers.

How should bars use music and sound in social video ads?

Choose sound that fits the night being advertised. A quiet wine bar, a crowded sports bar and a late DJ event should not share the same pacing or audio character. Sizzledraft scores the video with synthesised audio and normalises it to -14 LUFS, giving the exported file a consistent listening level. If a platform trend matters, the trending sound is handed over as a link so it can be attached natively during publishing. It is not baked into the video because baked-in audio does not count as using that platform sound. Keep essential details visible as text because many people first encounter bar ads with sound muted. The venue name, event date, start time and location should remain understandable without hearing the track.

What the browser actually gets

The browser can capture real venue photography, cocktail lists, event banners, opening hours, address details and the bar's colours and type styles from the page. It may struggle with age gates, booking widgets, menus stored only as PDFs, galleries that require interaction and event details loaded after a delay, so important information should also appear in normal page content.

The common mistake

A common mistake is filling the ad with slow room shots but never showing what is happening, what drinks are available or when to visit. Fix it by pairing atmosphere with one specific menu highlight or event, then show the date, start time and address in readable text.

Atmosphere is difficult to communicate when the website has only a few room photos or hides its gallery behind a carousel.
Cocktail names, prices and ingredients become unreadable when a full drinks menu is squeezed into a fast vertical video.
Event details change often, so videos can promote an old date, wrong start time or sold-out night if the source page is not current.
