Drunken Clam pop-up capitalizes on experience economy
There's no shortage of reasons to want to escape reality these days. Lucky, there's a "Family Guy"-themed pop-up in Boston. The intrigue: The "Drunken Clam" pop-up, which recreates the bar in "Family Guy," is the latest addition to the nation's growing experience economy. The big picture: Experiences are a growing segment of the U.S. tourism industry, which reached 1.2 trillion in 2023, per a Cushman & Wakefield report. Spending on experiences grew 25% between 2019 and 2023, while tourism spending on material items dropped 15% during the same time frame. And it's outlasted Barbie Mania. For companies like Bucketlist, those experiences increasingly feature shows beloved by Millennials and GenXers — from the "Barbie" movie to "The Golden Girls" and now "Family Guy." State of play: The pop-up launched last week in the basement of West End Johnnie's, selling 90-minute slots for $18 (includes a cocktail or mocktail). The pop-up sold out last weekend, but will continue to run through Sept. 21. Zoom in: The "Drunken Clam" pop-up has the usual merch and photo ops — the Quohog Channel 5 News desk, the Griffith Family couch and tiny rooms modeled after Stewie and Chris' rooms, down to the Time Machine Stewie made. Episodes play on screens around the bar. Context: Experiences like these can draw business to bars, restaurants and other venues that are being frequented less since the COVID-19 pandemic, be it due to inflation, less interest in drinking or overall economic uncertainty. Zoom out: Boston is home to several "experiential" spaces, from the WNDR Museum to the Museum of Ice Cream that opened last year.

Energage and Bucketlist Launch Top Workplaces for Frontline Workers Award
Nominations are now open for national recognition honoring employers that deliver exceptional experiences for frontline employees EXTON, Pa., June 05, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Energage, the HR technology company that powers the Top Workplaces employer recognition program, today announced a new partnership with Bucketlist, a leading employee rewards and recognition platform. Together, they will publish the inaugural Top Workplaces for Frontline Workers award, a first-of-its-kind national recognition honoring companies that prioritize the needs, contributions, and workplace experience of their frontline staff. "As the talent landscape shifts, frontline employees continue to shoulder the weight of daily operations — often in physically demanding, customer-facing roles," said Eric Rubino, CEO of Energage. "This award gives voice to these essential employees and recognizes companies that are getting it right — investing in their people, leading with purpose, and building cultures where every role is respected and supported." The new award celebrates organizations building people-first workplace cultures where frontline employees — often the face of a company's brand — feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive. Winners will be determined by feedback from employees captured through the confidential, research-backed Energage Workplace Survey, which has been refined by more than 19 years of culture research. To be eligible, participating organizations must have a minimum of 50 employees. At least 35 of them — or 10% of the total workforce — must be frontline workers. Nominations are open now through August 8, 2025, and winners will be announced in early 2026. There is no cost to nominate, participate, survey employees, or win. Eligible industries with significant frontline representation are encouraged to participate, including Construction, Distribution, Entertainment, Freight & Logistics, Healthcare, Hospitality, Life Sciences, Manufacturing, Recreation & Travel, and Retail. "At Bucketlist, we believe recognition should be more than a moment — it should be a movement. Frontline workers are the unsung heroes of our economy, showing up every day to power the industries we rely on most," said Patricio Vascones, Head of Strategic Partnerships at Bucketlist. "Yet, their contributions are often overlooked on a national stage. This award changes that. We're proud to partner with Energage and Top Workplaces to spotlight organizations that don't just talk about culture — they build it, especially where it matters most."
