Bar Design

Bar design is not just an obligation for roadhouses or classy uptown eateries—it's a certifiable art. With effective bar design, owners can create a space that is welcoming, exciting, and feels just like home.

The shape and make of the bar unit is the center of the overall bar design. Perhaps you need a portable bar for a mobile arrangement that can be taken to multiple locations. A curved design can create a more unifying atmosphere for your guests. A bar with more metal components communicates a more modern ambiance, while a wooden bar is more earthy and classic. The style you choose ultimately sets the tone for your bar space as a whole, even before you start populating it with furniture or amusements. Additionally, colors and patterns should reflect the kind of atmosphere you want your bar to have. Simpler aesthetics may be best suited for more casual bar environments, while something sophisticated and contemporary in design might appeal to a fancier clientele. 

Comfort and accessibility should be prioritized for guests and bar staff alike. Make sure to offer generous space between bar stools and tables to give customers breathing room. Keep the area as neat and uncluttered as possible to allow staff to do their jobs quickly without bumping into things, falling over objects, and so on. One of the best ways to achieve both of these goals is to separate the bar from areas with high traffic; in a restaurant setting, customers that are coming into and leaving the restaurant may disrupt the bar setting if the bar is too close to commonly used footpaths.

The most important takeaway about bar design is to have fun and be creative. Good bars communicate good times and good company, and reflect that in vibrant, open, neat designs. From the type of glasses used to the arrangement of drinks and spirits and everything in between, a good bar design should be infused with heart and warmth.
