Underbar Equipment

The underbar section of a bar is located underneath the bar facing the bartender's side of the counter. It is typically where bartenders keep mixes, equipment, glasses, ice, and any materials and ingredients needed to make drinks for customers. In this article, we'll be taking a look at what bar owners can do to make their underbar well-equipped, organized, and efficient.

Though at first glance the underbar may seem like just a convenience for bartenders, it is far more important than that. An underbar sink station demonstrates this idea very eloquently. Installing one such station in the underbar area is a way for bartenders to maintain cleanliness standards, seeing as how much of their work requires hand-to-hand contact. Underbar areas typically also have some means of waste disposal to ensure a sanitary and organized workstation. Another essential element of the underbar is the glass rack storage unit for holding fresh glasses.

An underbar beer station couples well with kegs installed in the underbar. The station allows users to place beer glasses on a stable, ample, and flat surface where they can be safely filled without fear of falling to the ground or spilling on bartenders. For bars that sell canned beer, there exist underbar beer coolers to conveniently store them beneath the bar where they can be quickly accessed.

Blender stations, true to their name, are designed to set blenders directly underneath the counter for more streamlined access during service. Coupled with ice storage and other equipment, making blended drinks is easier and more efficient than if the blenders were located behind the bartenders.

These are just a few of the many additions bar owners can make to their underbar areas. When put together with purpose, the underbar is a powerful tool to keep bars running smoothly and effectively.
