About Coyote Ugly Saloon Bristol
Coyote Ugly Saloon, the world-famous bar known for its high-energy atmosphere, bartop dancing, and vibrant parties, has expanded its footprint in the UK with a new location in Bristol. Situated on Bordeaux Quay along the Harbour, the venue joins its sister locations in England, offering an electrifying experience for both locals and visitors.
The Result
The system was designed to integrate smoothly with the venue’s aesthetic and operational requirements. Compact yet powerful AUDAC speakers and subwoofers provide immersive, evenly distributed audio so guests enjoy consistent sound whether they’re at the bar, on the dance floor, or seated. Powersoft amplifiers deliver efficient power management, maximising performance while maintaining energy efficiency. A Symetrix control system simplifies operation, enabling staff to make adjustments easily with minimal training.
The Brief for Coyote Ugly Bristol
With a venue designed for high-intensity entertainment, the audio system needed to provide clear, impactful sound that could cut through crowd noise while maintaining consistent coverage across the space. Given the nature of the performances, durability and reliability were also key considerations. The system had to support music playback, announcements, and live performances while being intuitive for venue staff to operate.
A robust audio system was planned for the Coyote Ugly Saloon, carefully tailored to meet the venue’s high-energy performance requirements. AUDAC speakers were chosen for their powerful output and compact form factor, delivering clear, consistent sound throughout the space.
