One bar, six feet of counter. It arrives assembled.

What a bar has to do

A counter, plus somewhere to put the bottles.

Most rooms end up serving off a trestle table with a cloth over it. That fails at both halves of the job. There is nowhere to put the bottles except the surface guests are leaning on. The front of it reads as a table rather than as a place to queue, so people drift up to it from every direction instead of forming a line.

The plexi bar answers both. Seventy-two inches of high-gloss acrylic counter at forty inches off the floor, panelled on every side, with a shelf running the full width inside it and two detachable rails for the bottles.

Whether a room needs one brought in comes down to two things. The first is whether the venue has a counter at all — halls, galleries, marquees and warehouses usually do not, while a hotel that does may have it in the wrong room for the part of the evening you need it. The second is throughput: one serving point makes one queue, so a second bar at the far end of the space halves the wait without changing anything else about the night.
