A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available by clicking on this link. AMSTERDAM, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HEINEKEN is strengthening its commitment to the bar industry with the launch of 'Starring Bars' - a new initiative as part of its wider 'Back the Bars' platform. The programme will prioritise bars that serve Heineken® beer as filming locations, redirecting commercial production budgets into these businesses. To anchor this effort, Heineken® will be creating a global catalogue of these bars as film-ready locations. As part of the project, Heineken® is also inviting movie directors, location scouts and other film industry professionals to consider these bars first when looking for a set. By highlighting these character-rich spaces, the initiative could put bars at the heart of Hollywood storytelling – as authentic settings, while ensuring the bars benefit financially from being featured in film and television productions. Finding the right venues for film, TV, or advertising productions isn't easy, but it's even harder to keep a bar afloat. To tackle both challenges in one; Heineken® created 'Starring Bars', providing production teams with easier access to real bars they can book for shoots through a growing online catalogue available at The site includes photos, floor plans, and availability, streamlining the scouting process. By choosing a real bar over a studio set, filmmakers bring added authenticity to on-screen storytelling, while supporting local businesses and communities. To bring the 'Starring Bars' initiative to life, Heineken® is rolling out a dynamic visual campaign that puts bar owners in the spotlight and tells the stories of the people behind these venues. Heineken® is also sending moving billboards on a tour of major entertainment hubs to call on filmmakers to explore the catalogue and consider bars as prime shoot locations, with playful messages like 'Hey Director, these bars can handle a drama.' Nabil Nasser, Global Head of Heineken® Brand, says, 'Bars are more than just places to grab a drink; they are community hubs and cultural landmarks. With 'Starring Bars,' we're spotlighting these venues and helping open new commercial opportunities to support them. This initiative is about backing the bar industry in a meaningful way, and we're inviting the entertainment world to be a part of that.' Each year, Heineken® makes a lot of ads and fees for location rentals are a key piece of any ad production budget. Through 'Starring Bars,' that investment will now directly benefit bars – supporting owners and the communities they serve. Heineken® aims to build a comprehensive global catalogue of real bars that double as filming locations. Heineken® is all about bringing people together and celebrating the connections that make bars special. 'Starring Bars' reflects this commitment, offering bar owners increased visibility, more foot traffic, and the chance to be featured in film and media.

Bars near Kai Tak Stadium to benefit the most from Hong Kong Sevens, sector predicts
Bars close to Kai Tak Stadium are expected to benefit the most from the Hong Kong Sevens rugby tournament, according to the catering sector, even though some fans have said they will still head to the island side for drinks after matches. Advertisement Chin Chun-wing, chairman of the Hong Kong Bar and Club Association, said on Thursday that bars and pubs would enjoy a bump in business, thanks to the relocation of the city's biggest annual sports event to Kai Tak Sports Park, with some expecting to have their sales doubled. 'During the Sevens weekend, we expect business in bars will increase by 40 to 50 per cent in Kowloon City, 30 to 40 per cent in Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui, and 20 to 30 per cent in Central, Wan Chai and Causeway Bay,' he said. He added that 20,000 spectators would flock to those areas for after-parties and celebrations. Over the years, rugby fans have packed bars and pubs on Hong Kong Island during the tournament, particularly in Wan Chai, which is within walking distance of the Hong Kong Stadium that had hosted the Sevens since 1982. Advertisement Some bars in the area reported a 30 to 70 per cent rise in business during the rugby extravaganza in previous years.
