A bar table cannot have the same characteristics as a table for the house.
Restaurant businesses such as taverns and snack bars, have different needs concerning size and durability of the tables. The small size of a bar invites the customer to stay a shorter time with a different concept of comfort than a restaurant, usually more oriented towards practicality. Let’s find out how and why together.
What are the criteria to consider when choosing bar tables?
Leaving aside for the moment design and personal tastes, there are mainly two parameters to be carefully evaluated before choosing a bar table, strictly linked to the functionality of the furniture.
-
Reduced footprint
A bar table is not, and should not be, designed as a semi-permanent solution as if it were a table for restaurants. The customer briefly sits to order a snack or a drink and does not need the space required for a full meal on the table: a practical but smaller surface is more that’s enough. In addition a small footprint allows you to maximize available sapce to serve more customers and to have a constant turnover, contributing to the good health of the business. It is better to invest in comfortable ergonomic chairs to make the customer experience more comfortable.

High stability
When you have little time to eat and you are in a dynamic environment, there is always the risk of problems. Drinks being toppled not only annoys the customer but it wastes staff’s time and maybe even ends up involve other customers. Such drawbacks can damage our business, especially if repeated: a bar table must be stable and well balanced. A heavy center leg and an enlarged base which must achieve a certain ratio in relation to the surface, are the right way to go. Alternatively you can choose an outdoor bar table that is equipped with a hollow central leg featuring a special compartment for sand or other wight.

The first is modular, able to create bigger tables by combining together, while round bar tables are designed to be able to slip into a complex arrangement of the chairs taking advantage of every last bit of space.
