Specifications
Panelled on all four sides, so it can stand anywhere.
The counter is 40 inches high, which is standing height rather than the 29 a banquet table gives you. Acrylic is fitted to every side, so the bar reads as finished from the front, the back and both ends and does not have to be pushed against a wall to hide an open frame. Inside, a full-width shelf takes the stock and two detachable rails hold the bottles at the pouring position.

Where a real counter changes the room
Six rooms that need one.
A venue with no bar of its own
Halls, galleries, warehouses and tented sites. The building has power and a door and nothing else, so the bar is a thing that has to arrive rather than a corner that is already there.
A second bar to split a queue
One counter for a room of two hundred is one queue for a room of two hundred. A second bar at the other end of the space halves the wait without adding anything to the programme.
Standing in the middle of the floor
An island position only works if every side is finished. All four are panelled here, so guests can approach from any direction and nobody is looking at the back of a trestle.
A reception before a seated dinner
Drinks for an hour in the foyer while the room behind is being turned. The bar comes out when the doors open, which is the part a built-in counter cannot do.
A brand activation or a product launch
White acrylic under lighting takes whatever colour is thrown at it. The flat front panel is the surface a decal or a printed wrap goes onto if you are bringing branding.
Anywhere the working side has to be hidden
Ice, bins, cases and a speed rail all live behind a 40-inch panel instead of on a table in the open. That is the difference guests notice without being able to say why.
What the drink gets put down on
A bar makes a queue. Tables break it up.
Guests served at a counter with nowhere to go stay at the counter. The queue behind them stops moving. Bar-height cocktail tables scattered past the bar give people somewhere to stand with a glass in their hand, at the same height they were just served at.
