Whether you run a local pub or a fine dining establishment, having the right
bar supplies can make all the difference in the world. There are some bar supplies that are absolute necessities and then there are just some that make life a little easier.
If you serve any type of beer, wine or cocktails at your establishment you are going to need everything from bottle chillers to cocktail napkins. Make sure that you assess the specific bar supplies that you need and invest in the products and equipment that are right for your business. If you don’t need to invest in a big bottle chiller you can simply buy individual bottle holders that will chill a bottle of wine in five minutes or so and can be delivered right to your party’s table.
If you do serve a lot of wine or beer, you should invest in a bottle cooler. There are some versions that can just be available for your serving staff to reach in or you can have a cooler that can actually go anywhere and even blend in with the front of the house. Storing your beverages in a bottle cooler will free up your refrigerator for other food items. It can also move a lot of traffic away from servers who are waiting on menu items. You can set up your bottle cooler wherever you wish to make it more effective for you and your serving staff.
Glassware is a major investment when it comes to bar supplies and not the place to cut corners. Any type of product that is used so regularly by a mass amount of people needs to be strong enough to take some wear and tear and still look as good as new each time you serve a beverage in it.
Glassware racks are pertinent to storing your stock of glasses and should be easily accessible. If you are running a pub, many places put the racks overhead or under the counter. Other bar supplies that come into play if you are running a pub are bottle stands and brackets, dispensers and measuring devices for making cocktails and cocktail shakers.
If you have a fine dining establishment or are putting on a catered event such as a wedding or anniversary party you may want to make sure that you have wine and champagne buckets. Standard ice buckets are a given when it comes to purchasing bar supplies.
The little extras that complete the bar area include your napkins, straws and mixer sticks which can all be kept conveniently in a bar caddy. Bottle openers and cork extractors may seem like an expense you can do without until one day when you can’t get that cork out of an expensive bottle of wine.
Creating a comfortable environment to serve your bar beverages, whether it’s a pint, a cocktail or a bottle of vintage champagne, is where you can set the tone of your dining establishment or pub.
