Best Pickup Spots.com Launches With Nationwide Directory of Pickup Bars & Singles Hangouts

Online, January 16, 2011 (Newswire.com) - With rumblings of doom and gloom in the restaurant & bar business, Best Pickup Spots.com intends to help spark improved business by publishing online all of the establishments known as pickup bars and singles hangouts.. The California-based website is intent on helping the singles community to meet up more frequently.

Founder/CEO Richard Houston hopes that this new website can provide a lower cost marketing channel for those bars, restaurants & other social meeting places that are currently known as fun hangouts, but also as a new marketing channel for those bars, restaurants & other social meeting places who have not yet maximized their popularity.

"This country was built by entrepreneurs," says Houston, "and it is the entrepreneurial spirit in every business owner that is going to drive our economic recovery...and the owners of successful bars and singles hangouts know how to do that."

An entrepreneur at heart, Houston speaks from experience. He has only worked at small, fast-growing companies, aside from a short stint at one of the big accounting firms. "I have managed several small businesses and I know how rewarding it can be to stimulate others and how to work as a team to build upon an idea!" he says.

Houston says Best Pickup Spots.com is aggressively accumulating new listings directly from available information. However, Houston knows from personal experience that most of the really great pickup bars and singles hangouts are quite well-known locally, but hard to find unless you know a local. Houston explains: "In order for us to fully develop the only nationwide source for finding all of the really great pickup bars and singles hangouts we will need an active community effort."

"Our goal is to encourage community involvement among the singles out there," continues Houston. "And that includes all ages and interests!"

Houston has watched the dating site business mushroom which would seem to compete with establishments that provide a place to meet members of the opposite sex and explore their mutual interests. And although there certainly are establishments that have been very successful at attracting singles, there have been some popular pickup bars and singles hangouts that have closed in the last few years. However, the success of the social networks suggest that there is tremendous energy out there to develop community involvement and Houston thinks that by publishing a list of popular hangouts it will actually encourage more singles to become more active at fun establishments.

Houston is a firm believer in having fun and meeting people in singles hangouts. After all, he met his wife in one many years ago!
