Bar Furniture


It seems that nearly everywhere we go today, there’s a juice bar. Whether it’s in the streets, in a mall, or at the beach, there’s always an establishment that sells smoothies and fruit juices. Some of them offer coffee and other drinks too, but for the most part, the juices are the menu superstars. The locations are usually small; sometimes you’ll see just a counter and several stools – and those are all that constitute their juice bar furniture. Even the bigger ones have just a few tables and chairs for customers.

All they have are a few stools to accommodate patrons as they wait for their drinks. People don’t usually stay for too long in a juice bar anyway. From what I’ve seen, most customers buy their drink and leave. But even though furniture and furnishings aren’t that big a deal for a streetside juice bar, that doesn’t mean they should be ignored at all.

Selecting the right bar furniture is the key decision in opening a new bar. The bar furniture you choose should reflect your target market and the overall feel you are creating. The right furniture can increase your business and help your bar stand out in an crowded and competitive market.

The place to start is your theme. Are you building a classy downtown nightclub where well-paid workers go to meet up with friends after a busy day’s work? Or is a cozy corner bar where the locals stop in for a drink and a sandwich closer to your idea? For each of these, selecting appropriate bar furniture is key to creating the feel you want and getting your bar noticed.

Take chairs for example. For a more upscale club, classy stainless steel chairs such as the GM Al Bombo by Stefano Giovannoni are both futuristic and sleek. These chairs exude style and class, an invitation for wealthy workers to come in and enjoy themselves.
