A pub is not a restaurant. Here the counter must withstand pint glass impacts, spilled beer, leaning elbows, and daily full capacity. Yet it must create an atmosphere that makes people return. English pub, Irish bar, craft brewery, speakeasy — each format has its own counter requirements. We cover everything: dimensions, materials, and draft beer equipment integration.
- How does a pub counter differ from a restaurant bar?
- A pub bar counter handles 300+ touches daily over 14-16 hours. Key differences: 60-80 mm solid oak (vs 40 mm in restaurants), 8-20 tap draft system with glycol cooling, brass footrail, and UV-cured protective coating. Pricing: from €6,000 for craft style, from €10,000 for classic pub.
