Bar counters
Bar counters are the operational hub of any cocktail bar, café, or hotel beverage service. You'll find modular work stations with integrated sinks, glass rinsers, and bottle wells, alongside dedicated under-counter refrigeration to keep ingredients and glassware at the right temperature.
Whether you're outfitting a new bar or upgrading existing equipment, these units combine workspace and storage to streamline service and maximise efficiency during busy shifts.
Bar counters comprise cocktail stations with integrated sinks, glass rinsers and storage, plus under-counter coolers in 350L–537L capacities. Essential for bars, hotels and restaurants requiring efficient drink preparation, glassware management and ingredient chilling within compact footprints.
When selecting a bar counter, consider the layout of your existing bar area, the volume of service you expect, and whether you need integrated cooling or just work surface. Most units are modular, so you can combine stations to fit your footprint and budget.
Look for stainless-steel construction for durability and hygiene, adequate drainage and under-counter storage, and controls that are easy to operate during fast-paced service. If you're serving cocktails or soft drinks at volume, prioritise models with glass-rinsing and ice-bin capacity.
