Cairns, Australia - November 2, 2015 /PressCable/ —
Cairns Bourbon Street Bistro & Bar already known as the best Cairns seafood restaurant and live music venue has gone green by creating their own labelled ginger beer and drinks and recycling the bottles locally. The move applauded by local environmentalists saves hundreds of bottles every month from joining the waste stream.
More information is available at http://bourbonstreetbistro.com.au.
Bourbon Street Bistro and Bar are unique in Cairns offering both fine Cajun dining a fully licensed bar and more modestly priced meals along with live music from both local artists and musicians and from nationally and internationally renowned artists.
The quality of their food, the atmosphere and the friendliness of their staff have made the venue a favourite among both locals and tourists to Cairns. This popularity results in the sales of a substantial number of meals and drinks.
Owner of the restaurant and live music venue Will Solly says the number of bottles that would leave the premises entering the waste stream each day was alarming. Solly says the average licensed bar or club in Cairns would be disposing of hundreds of bottles each night.
Solly was eager for some time to have his own brand of Bourbon Street branded drinks both to improve the quality experience in his restaurant and bar and to make it possible to recycle the bottles that would otherwise either become landfill or go through a costly, energy hungry recycling process.
The Bourbon Street bar with their branded drinks now have the ecologically friendly advantage of collecting and recycling bottles as locally as possible. The bottles used in the restaurant and bar are collected on site and barely have to travel before they go through the full recycling process.
That’s an environmentally friendly recycling solution that’s also good business for the bar. Solly says many people talk about finding ways to help the environment but often the solutions are right in front of everyone. It just takes a little very simple innovation and some small commitments to turn waste streams into more environmentally friendly alternatives.
Tourists to Cairns and locals who would like to dine at the Bourbon Street Bistro & Bar and try the new branded drinks can visit the restaurant at 12 Spence Street Cairns for lunch between 11:30am and 3pm or dinner between 4:30pm and midnight or make reservations by calling 40513493.
