What’s the biggest problem owners and architects face for the design and construction of their bars? They lack a single-source resource for highly accurate construction drawings and details. At Cabaret Design Group we specialize in bar architecture and design for complex, turnkey bar design solutions for hotels, restaurants and sports bars. Over the years, Cabaret Design Group has been recognized as one of very few bar design integrators. Until now, owners and their architects have been stuck without such a single-source provider for comprehensive, highly-detailed bar design.
In most commercial applications, bar design is defined by a mere bar equipment plan furnished by a foodservice vendor. Bar equipment layouts are just the starting point. The interior designers don’t understand equipment or construction. The plans end up without section views, elevation views and details. They lack finish schedules, shop drawings and details of precisely how to build the bar and back bar. They also lack details about the draft beer system and infrastructure. In other words, no architectural bar design. The end result? The GC doesn’t have the plans needed to build the entire bar, and the owners experience sloppy bars and cost overruns.
Owners and architects realize that foodservice vendors don’t possess a command of engineering or architecture. Architects, interior designers and our engineering peers don’t understand bar design, either. Consequently, owners don’t have a thorough construction document for their bars – one that combines equipment, systems, finishes and a multitude of construction details. Given all this, where do owners turn for comprehensive bar design? We at Cabaret Design Group have just the solution…
Above is our YouTube playlist expressly curated for those who need help with bar design.
From the above, it’s obvious that there are very few resources available for those in need of bar architecture and design. At Cabaret Design Group, we address this need with our turnkey service we call “Integrated Bar Design.” We furnish the following details on nearly every project:
Cabaret Design Group’s integrated bar design service combines bar architecture, interior design and engineering (reference Figures 1-4 (above)). Thus, integrated bar design is true architectural engineering that provides single source accountability. Our service combines construction drawings and shop-level details for the front bar, back bar, bar equipment, keg room and bar finishes. Our clients enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that their bar design and all of its related components will be defined in our plans.

Quality is our hallmark, and this is born not only in our bar designs, but also in the details of our construction drawings. In terms of our design, it’s important to emphasize that our plans are a self-contained document that embody both construction drawings and shop-quality detailed drawings:
Construction drawings provide a comprehensive overview, while shop-quality drawings offer detailed information about the fabrication and assembly of individual components or systems. Both are essential for the successful execution of a true architectural bar design project, which is why we include both. The photos shown in Figures 5-7 depict the end-result of the detailed shop-quality drawings we produce.
We use Zoom meetings to further enhance your bar design experience! In fact, we’ve been using interactive design for 15 years. These are some of the benefits:
The bottom line is, interactive design leads to superior results, and a more thorough client experience. That’s our promise to you! This video is an example of how our process works:
Integrated bar design provides a thorough set of plans and specifications. The result is fewer mistakes and cost overruns. Therefore, the net benefit to the owner is savings. There are further savings benefits with our optional services, detailed below.
As mentioned earlier, with integrated bar design we design and specify the majority of elements of your bar. Additionally, we offer procurement and construction oversight services. MEP’s and structural engineering are normally provided by local engineers.
This service is very valuable and popular with many clients. We solicit bids for most bar-related equipment and finishes. In return, owners enjoy the peace of mind and confidence of knowing that their purchasing will match our plans. Moreover, this service provides owners with factory-direct pricing without the general contractor mark-up!
With this service we visit the jobsite periodically to check the accuracy of the construction.
