How to choose the bar counters?

To make the right choice, it is important to remember that the bar counter must not only be functional, but it can also prove to be a design element that enhances the place in which it is placed. This, indeed, together with the drinks wall, is the “business card” of the place. A place with a refined and original style will more easily attract customers. Therefore the first thing to do is to try to identify the style that you intend to give to the place and then start an informed search. The perfect choice takes into account your personal tastes but also of potential customers.

The parts of the bar counters

Bar counters consist of four parts:

• lower par of the counter, where the fridge, the ice machine and the various storage shelves are located.
• workstation, which is the place to prepare drinks and dishes. It is therefore a clean and sanitized place. Indeed it is often made of steel, a resistant material that can be cleaned very easily.
• service top, that is, the one that separates the customer and the barman and characterizes the environment and practicality of the place.
• back counter, where you can usually find bottles of alcoholics to prepare cocktails. It must be well cared for and tidy to give a positive image of the place.
