Bar equipment brands (299)

Professional brands for bars and restaurants

Bar equipment should be suited to the workload, the number of orders and the type of drinks being prepared. Different manufacturers develop their ranges with specific tasks in mind — from mixing cocktails and processing ice to storing bottles, serving wine and organising the bar area.

Choosing products by brand helps to:

• assemble a set of tools with a consistent design,
• match equipment to the venue’s workload,
• find compatible accessories and parts more easily,
• to expand your equipment as your drinks menu grows,
• to maintain a consistent standard across multiple stations or locations.

Bar accessories brands

Small tools have a direct impact on the speed and precision of cocktail preparation. This group includes manufacturers offering shakers, measuring cups, muddlers, spoons, strainers, pourers, tongs, atomisers, organisers and other bar equipment.

Brands specialising in professional bar accessories include, amongst others:

• Bar Up,
• BarFly,
• Fine Dine,
• Barmatic.

When choosing accessories, it is worth paying attention to the material, the ergonomics of the handle, the balance, the capacity and whether they are suitable for washing in a commercial dishwasher.

Blender and cocktail machine brands

Bar blenders enable the preparation of frozen cocktails, smoothies, frozen drinks, sauces and fruit blends. In a professional establishment, motor power, jug design, automatic programmes and resistance to frequent operating cycles are all important factors.

This category includes, amongst others, appliances from the following brands:

• Hamilton Beach Commercial,
• Barmatic,
• HENDI.

The model should be selected according to the number of drinks to be prepared, the type of ice and the anticipated duration of continuous operation.

Brands of ice-making equipment

Ice is one of the essential components of bar operations. Ice cube makers, crushers and other equipment should provide a capacity that matches sales during peak hours.

Manufacturers’ ranges may include:

• ice cube makers,
• manual and electric ice crushers,
• flake ice machines,
• ice storage bins,
• ice scoops, tongs and bar buckets.

When purchasing, it is worth checking the capacity, the type of ice produced, the cooling method of the unit, and the requirements for water supply and drainage connections.

Brands of refrigerators and bar equipment

Under-counter and display refrigerators help keep drinks and cocktail ingredients at the right temperature and within easy reach of staff. These can be complemented by juicers, whipped cream dispensers, bar blast chillers and other specialist equipment.

When choosing an equipment manufacturer, you should compare:

• capacity and performance,
• temperature range,
• dimensions of the unit,
• power and type of power supply,
• ease of cleaning,
• availability of after-sales service and spare parts.

Bar glassware brands

Glassware influences the presentation, aroma and drinking experience of a beverage. The professional range includes cocktail glasses, highball and old fashioned glasses, hurricane glasses, as well as glassware for whisky, beer, wine and soft drinks.

At Fine Dine, you can find glassware from brands including:

• RONA,
• LAV,
• Arcoroc,
• Chef&Sommelier,
• Bormioli Rocco,
• Stölzle,
• Fine Dine.

When choosing, it is worth considering the capacity, the shape of the bowl, the thickness of the rim, the stability of the base and whether the glass is suitable for washing in a commercial dishwasher.

Wine accessory brands

Serving wine requires suitable corkscrews, stoppers, vacuum pumps, ice buckets, wine coolers, carafes and decanters. Products should be suitable for both everyday service by the glass and a more extensive wine list.

When putting together your equipment, it is worth paying attention to:

• ease of opening bottles,
• safe storage of opened wine,
• method of temperature control,
• the option to decant,
• how well the accessories complement the venue’s style.

Brands for cocktail bars

A cocktail bar requires a wide range of tools, glassware and equipment to prepare complex recipes. Speed of operation, precise measurement, efficient cooling and the ability to serve drinks in an impressive manner are all important.

Basic equipment may include:

• shakers and bar glasses,
• jiggers, strainers and spoons,
• blenders and ice crushers,
• citrus juicers,
• containers for fruit and garnishes,
• glasses for various types of cocktails,
• refrigerators and ice makers.

Brands for hotel and restaurant bars

A hotel or restaurant bar often serves cocktails, wine, coffee, beer and soft drinks. The equipment should be versatile, durable and easy to restock.

When choosing a manufacturer, it is worth checking whether their range includes a sufficiently wide selection of products for the entire bar area and whether it is possible to purchase the same models at a later date.

How to choose bar equipment brands?

The brand is an important point of reference, but the purchase decision should be based primarily on the specifications of the specific product and how well it suits your working methods.

Before making a choice, it is worth comparing:

• suitability for professional use,
• materials and build quality,
• equipment performance,
• ergonomics of the tools,
• availability of consumable parts,
• warranty and service terms,
• the possibility of expanding the equipment at a later date,
• compatibility with existing glassware and workstation layout.

One brand or several manufacturers?

Putting together a set of tools from a single brand can ensure a consistent design and similar ergonomics. However, when it comes to appliances, it is often better to choose specialist manufacturers for specific tasks.

A bar may use glassware from one brand, tools from another, blenders from yet another, and refrigeration equipment from a manufacturer specialising in that field. The most important thing is to create a functional system that matches the actual menu and workload.

Why is it worth browsing bar equipment by brand?

• it makes it easier to find tried-and-tested manufacturers,
• it allows you to compare products with similar uses,
• it helps maintain consistency in tools and glassware,
• streamlines restocking,
• makes it easier to choose equipment specialised for a specific task,
• allows you to tailor products to a cocktail bar, restaurant or hotel.
