441 Cocktail Lounge

These buildings are constructed for the preparation and service of beverages and food. They are typically larger facilities than bars with entertainment floors and stages, with the better qualities containing full kitchens.

They include a combination of the following areas: Consumption, serving, preparation, recreation or dance floor, receiving and storage, and restrooms. They also include suitable office areas, all necessary plumbing and electrical connections for the bar and kitchen equipment.

Since cocktail lounges have higher requirements for heating, cooling and ventilation, use component 617 (Complete HVAC) for HVAC costs.

The following are not included in the costs: Bar fixtures, kitchen equipment, seating, restaurant fixtures, furnishings and signs.

Availability of Elevators by Area for this occupancy: No
