Strap in as we unravel the art of designing your bar for success, blurring the line between functionality and style. We promise you a deep dive into the world of bar design, equipping you with the knowledge you need to create a more efficient, durable, and appealing bar space. Our journey begins with the exploration of various bar shapes and seating arrangements, where we discuss the importance of optimizing space and reducing your bartender's steps to expedite service. We also shed light on when it's worth giving an existing bar a much-needed facelift to enhance durability and efficiency.
In the second half, we take a turn toward the nuts and bolts of building a bar that stands the test of time. From your floor to the bar top, every element requires careful consideration and we discuss why materials like cinder block trump wood for your bar structure. No stone is left unturned as we talk about how to make your bartop impermeable. But that's not all - we also delve into the realm of back bar storage and display. We discuss the art of displaying unexpected bottles to pique customer interest, using slide-top coolers for beer, optimizing storage space, and more. Prepare to be enlightened and equipped with the right tools to create a durable, efficient, and visually alluring bar!
