All about Bartending Supplies
There's a lot more that goes into a bar then meets the eye. Selecting the bartender, entertaining the patrons, making drinks, getting the right bartending supplies, and the environment, are just some of the considerations.
Well established bars and nightclubs can last generations. Their nostalgia has been translated through the movies and TV, in magazines and books, and through music. No matter how big or small, old or new, famous or not, they all have to have the right equipment and supplies.
We sell the best bartending supplies you need for your home or professional bar!
So Many Pieces go into Good Bartending
The beer has to get poured somehow. A can needs no special supplies to open but may require the proper beer glasses. There are several different kinds of beer glasses though!
A bottle opener may sound simple, however there are many to choose from. One may select a simple bottle opener or may go for a church key. Another may want a wine key that includes a bottle opener. Then a glass is needed for the wine.
Certainly, a bartender would never remove and replace liquor bottle caps day in and day out. Liquor pourers fit the bill here.
One bartender may tend bar and another TEND BAR! Flair bartending supplies and training may be required here. How do you mix the drinks? That's where blenders, shakers, strainers, and funnels come in. "On the rocks!", now you need ice crushers and ice machines.
Even More Bartending Supplies
Need a margarita with salt? That requires a salt rimmer. But first, the rim of the glass has to be limed. Now, you have to pick between different salts. What size glass are you using?
Are they doing shooters out of shot glasses or test tubes? The test tubes need a test tube rack. What about garnishes like olives, cherries, lemons, onions and limes? These require fruit trays. Better check your bartending supplies!
Are you using coasters or napkins? A bar caddy is where these usually are. You may want a bar mat to protect the bar from the spills that may sit till closing time.
Let's say they order a bottle of Dom to celebrate the anniversary. You'll need an ice bucket. The table over there is keeping the bottles of Bud coming steady because they won the big game. Maybe having an ice bucket or two may be a good idea. Maybe both parties can be served with the same style bucket!
Feet hurt? Maybe you want one of those anti slip stress relieving floor mats.
Getting the picture here? There's a lot to know when it comes to the bar business. You need the right bartending supplies to make the bar run safely, smoothly, efficiently, and economically.
The bartender who knows it will get the repeat customers and the big tips. They'll ask for YOU by name.
