When choosing English pub bars, you should consider what you’re planning on using it for — and where you’re going to put it! An English pub bar is a huge style statement, and it can be quite the investment. However, if you’re looking to recreate an old-fashioned pub in your home, you can’t go wrong.
Here are just a few things that you should think about prior to purchasing: make sure that you measure the space that you’re planning on putting it to ensure that you don’t over-buy; make sure that it has an adequate amount of space for alcohol storage; see whether it includes lighting or has recesses for lighting, so you’re able to keep it properly lit; and check to see whether you’ll be able to have good seating with it. After that, pour yourself a tall glass—your home will be festive and lovely before you know it.
Depending on the size, style, and age of the piece that you purchase, expect to pay anywhere from $3,000 to $15,000 and beyond. English pub bars are intricately-carved hardwood pieces that include countertops, bar stools, bar storage, and more: Some include lighting and window-like features, as well. However, they’re also very strong aesthetic statements, so they may be worth it—just do your research and select one that works well for your home.
If you’re thinking about adding an English pub bar to your home, you will need to allow at least 36” between the bar and the wall in addition to the bar dimensions. This space is to ensure the person behind your bar has space to move around.
Home bar tops are typically between 12 to 16” wide. Commercial English pub bar tops usually range from 20” to 28” in width and include a drink rail on the server side for bartenders to empty finished drinks and store bottle tops. On average, the height of a pub bar is 41”. This is considered the most ergonomic height for English pub bars because they are the correct height for both customers to sit and lean on and bartenders to stand on the other side and serve.
If you want to add a larger bar to your home where more than one person will be making drinks behind your bar, you should allow more space.
