Why choose a professional bar counter?

A professional bar counter is the central element of the customer experience. This is where customers place their orders, chat with your bartender, discover your menu and wait for their drinks. In fact, the counter quickly becomes one of the busiest and most visible areas of your establishment.

A more immersive experience

The counter is often the first point of contact between your customers and your establishment. In a bar, bistro or even on a rooftop, some people settle in for a drink. In a restaurant, it serves as a reception and waiting area. And in a nightclub, it becomes a place for encounters and sometimes unforgettable entertainment.

Resistance suited to intensive use

Behind the bar, your team needs to be efficient and provide smooth service. A professional bar counter allows you to organise your workspace perfectly:

• Quick access to bottles and glasses.
• Integration of equipment (beer tap, ice bins, storage).
• Easier movement for staff.

This organisation allows your team to work faster and provide smoother service.

Resistance suited to intensive use

In hospitality establishments, furniture is subject to daily wear and tear. Can you imagine if you had to replace your counter every time a glass of alcohol was spilled? You might end up replacing it every day. Barazzi understands the daily stresses of hospitality establishments: heavy footfall, frequent cleaning, knocks and humidity. But none of that is a problem for our durable bar counters, which are designed for intensive use:

• Robust materials: stainless steel, composite, treated wood.
• Finishes suitable for intensive use.
• Coatings resistant to knocks, scratches and liquids.
• Easy maintenance for effective daily cleaning.

This is an investment that can serve your establishment well in the long term, so take your time when choosing!

Bar counter for restaurants

If you are looking for a bar counter for sale, you have come to the right place! Would you like to equip a professional kitchen with a bar counter so you can welcome your customers in style with a designer bar? Take a look at our bar counter models from leading brands.

A bar counter for a restaurant or bar must be sturdy and of good quality to withstand intensive use. In addition, a bar counter for a restaurant must be practical and offer plenty of storage space. Some of our models, such as this illuminated bar counter, have storage space for bottles, glasses or refrigerators.

The large worktop of the counter should also allow your teams to work efficiently. The larger your worktop, the easier it is to make cocktails and serve your drinks, glasses of wine, champagne, etc.

Finally, the practicality of your daily life as a restaurateur should not be overlooked, and some bar counter models are removable thanks to their castors. This allows for greater flexibility in your space and easier cleaning. A modular professional bar cabinet also allows you to adapt your space over time, according to the evolution of your concept or your clientele.

Bar counter for nightclubs

In nightclubs, the desired atmosphere is very different! Our bar counters for nightclubs are designed to transform your establishment by immersing it in a completely wild party atmosphere. Our bar counters for nightclubs are designed to make preparing drinks easy thanks to their large work surfaces and ample storage space. What's more, we know how quickly boozy evenings can become a cost for your establishment, which is why we pay attention to the quality of our counters by working with brands such as Vondom and Slide Design.

We offer different shapes of counters, which are sure to suit your nightclub. Choose from our straight bar counters, which can be placed side by side to create a large bar counter. It is also possible to add a corner module to a straight bar counter to create an L-shaped bar, for example, or a completely enclosed rectangular bar.

In addition, we also offer rounded bar modules to create an atmosphere that is as welcoming as it is stylish. The curved modules can also be placed side by side to form a large rounded bar or an oval or round bar.

Barazzi's tip: don't miss out on our Ice Bar reception module with giant ice cube tray, so you'll never run out of ice for your cocktails!

Hotel bar furniture must strike a balance between elegance and functionality. And that's the kind of project we're used to working on at Barazzi!

What shapes of bar counter should you choose?

Straight bar counter

The straight bar counter is the most classic and timeless configuration. It is also the most versatile solution as it can be combined with other modules to create more unusual spaces. They are often popular in small spaces or for a first installation.

Corner counter

Ideal for optimising corners and creating L- or U-shaped configurations. Corner bars make better use of space and facilitate staff movement. Perfect for small spaces or establishments with architectural constraints such as:

• Load-bearing walls that cannot be modified.
• Structural posts in the middle of the room.
• Accessibility standards for people with reduced mobility.

Rounded counter

The rounded counter creates a warmer, more modern atmosphere. Thanks to its shape, it can be combined to form an oval or circular bar. Highly appreciated in upscale establishments for its designer look:

• Upscale hotels: Cocktail bars in 4- or 5-star hotels, hotel rooftops.
• Cocktail bars and mixology bars
• Gourmet restaurants
• Lounges and private clubs: casino bars, premium beach club bars
• Nightclubs and event venues

Modular counter

You can combine the elements to create your own unique configuration. A modular counter offers optimal flexibility to adapt your bar counter to the evolution of your establishment. Typically, you can start with a simple configuration and expand it over time.

FAQ: Your questions about professional bar counters

Which bar counter should you choose for a restaurant?

For a restaurant, choose a counter that optimises the flow of service. You need a reception area, a bar for aperitifs and digestifs, and a work area for staff.

A straight or corner bar counter with a good work surface (minimum 1.5m to 2m) and storage for bottles and glasses is generally the best solution.

Ensure that the counter facilitates movement between the kitchen and the dining room.

What is the ideal height for a professional bar counter?

The standard height for a professional bar counter is 90 cm (working height for staff) with a 30 to 40 cm overhang for seated customers.

This height allows staff to work comfortably and customers to sit comfortably on bar stools.
