Absolutely, I love that shift. A good bartender feels the room’s pulse—body language, laughter, the way the crowd tightens or loosens. Sensors can tag that with light, sound, even scent, but they’re still data. The trick is letting the human instinct filter that data. If a table’s low on chatter and the smart lights dim, a bartender might cue a warm amber glow and a whispered joke to lift the mood. It’s all about letting tech echo the subtle cues you pick up from the patrons, not replace them. That synergy? That’s where a bar really feels alive.
