Underbar Equipment

Underbar equipment is an essential component of any well-organized bar or beverage service area. These modular units are designed to fit beneath countertops or behind the bar, creating a streamlined and ergonomic workspace for bartenders and baristas. Typical underbar equipment includes ice bins, blender stations, speed rails, glass rack cabinets, and dump sinks, each serving a specific function that helps improve workflow and maintain hygiene standards.

One of the most commonly used underbar units is the ice bin, which provides immediate access to clean ice during drink preparation. Many ice bins include integrated cold plate systems to keep beverages cold or built-in bottle wells for storing mixers and juices. Adjacent to the ice bin, you might find a hand sink or dump sink for discarding leftover drinks and rinsing out glassware.

Underbar workstations can also include sections specifically designed for tools like blenders or garnishing stations, complete with storage shelves for syrups, napkins, and other barware. Glass rack cabinets and speed rails help keep high-use items within reach, reducing the need for back-and-forth movement during busy hours. The layout of your underbar setup plays a critical role in both staff efficiency and the overall speed of service, making it a key investment for high-traffic operations like nightclubs, pubs, and restaurants.

Most underbar equipment is constructed from stainless steel to withstand moisture, heavy use, and frequent cleaning. When planning your layout, be sure to measure carefully and consider utilities like plumbing and electrical access.
