A beautiful bar is one that facilitates beautiful bartending.
What makes a bar beautiful is when it delivers on the promise of attentive service and joyful hospitality. The only way that happens is when the same amount of focused thought, experienced design, and careful construction goes into the part of the bar the guest barely ever sees— the engine. A better engine equals a better bar experience for the bartender, the guest, and ultimately the ownership.
If you want a thriving bar that delivers on throughput, hospitality, and profitability start with a specialized firm that obsesses over designing and building cutting-edge, high-volume, thoughtful bar engines as well as the critical design elements surrounding the engine including backbar, counter, bar die wall, and beverage support facilities.
A smart, well planned, efficient, highly-functional, and genuinely ergonomic equipment engine design is what makes or breaks the ROI of a beverage outlet. And just as a bartender should not be designing a commercial kitchen, a chef should never be designing a bar. Bartending luminary and bar design pioneer Tobin Ellis has had more combined experience bartending, managing, training, opening, and designing bars than any other human on earth. Turn to the bar designer the foodservice industry themselves turn to for bar design expertise.
Studio Barmagic designs bars and enhances the hospitality experience of any brand from the largest tech and coffee giants to the smallest boutique hotels and restaurants. Since 2003.
