Accessories Every Bar Needs to Be Successful

Friday, May 9th, 2008

Setting up a bar takes a lot of work and a variety of items to make it functional. Imagination and creativity can go a long way in making a bar a place people will want to spend time at. Essentials are needed for a great bar and moreover, for great drinks, great conversation and great times.

First and foremost, cover the basic bar equipment to make mixing and serving drinks possible. A bottle opener and corkscrew are must haves for serving beer, wine and champagne. Juice squeezers, a cutting board and sharp knives are requirements for cocktails that need lemon, lime or other fruit garnishments.If you want to serve frozen drinks such as margaritas and daiquiris you will need an electric blender and lots of ice.

A good bar has a variety of glasses on hand also. These include beer mugs and pilsners, champagne glasses or flutes, glasses to serve highballs and hurricanes, coffee mugs and everyday glassware for sodas. Items to accompany glasses such as napkins and coasters are needed. Straws in various sizes, plastic sticks for stirring and sugar and salt for the rim of glasses should not be overlooked, either.
