At the Wall Str’eat bar, the prices of certain drinks may vary like the stock market price. Opening of this place with a unique concept on Thursday October 31, avenue Maréchal Leclerc in Perpignan.
It’s an original concept to say the least: a bar where you can, with a little skill, have control over the price of certain drinks thanks to the stock market price. This place with a unique concept is the Wall Street bar. An establishment which will join the spectrum of Perpignan nightlife at the end of October on avenue Maréchal-Leclerc. The idea? Consume drinks according to the price which varies every 100 seconds. A trading bar (stock market bar, editor’s note) where the objective is to obtain your drinks at the best price.
Have fun and stand out from other brands
This atypical concept is carried by Gwenaëlle Marquet, a young woman of 33 years old, with 17 years of experience in the world of catering and events. It started from a simple observation: “I have the impression that bars today are all the same. They all look the same. We sit at a table, we drink, we party a little and we leave. Which What I liked about this concept was that there was room for fun and to stand out from other brands. I didn’t see the point in opening a new “normal” bar. enough of that already in Perpignan.
Stock market crash: prices in free fall
At Wall Str’eat, screens will be hung behind the bar. They will display the – changing – price of drinks on which customers can bet. To play, they will need to use a free application. By purchasing consumption on Wall Str’eat, they will receive virtual currency: bubbles. With this, the customer can bet on the price of their next consumption going up or down. The more he aims correctly, the more bubbles he will win. From a certain number, customers will be able to be offered cocktails, shooters, a bottle, goodies, etc. “People don’t lose real money, that seems important to me to say. The only thing they can lose is bubbles. The more bubbles they win, the more they can play and the more different prizes they can win”underlines Gwenaëlle Marquet before warning: “You have to stay on the lookout for stock market crashes!”. Because several times in the evening, the bar will light up red and an alarm will sound. This is the moment when prices fall for 100 seconds! “For example, a vodka soda which was €7 could go to €2.50 a few seconds before prices rise again”explains the brand license manager.

As on Wall Street, the establishment also focuses on homemade American street food. Burgers, onion rings, chicken wings and other hot dogs should be on the menu. “If you are looking for pan con tomato with Serrano ham, you should not come to us”concludes the entrepreneur.
