What is the top list of commercial bar design finishing ideas. Here’s the list of the most common bar finishing ideas for hotels, restaurants & sports bars.
HOW ARE COMMERCIAL BAR DESIGNS FINISHED?
From equipment specifications, space utilization and bartender efficiency, as covered in a previous post, it doesn’t take long to see that there’s a bit to know about bar design. The equipment we’ve discussed to date addresses typical selections. Every bar and circumstance requires tailored design solutions. Commercial bar design is far beyond mere fixture selection. Make no mistake: these only address the “factory”-portion of your bar.
WHAT’S THE KEY TO HAVING A POPULAR BAR?
The fundamental goal in bar design isn’t only about creating an efficient layout that maximizes production profits. It’s one that creates appeal and makes patrons comfortable. Our mission is to make the patrons want to return and this is achieved by making them feel as if your bar is theirs. Have you ever noticed how patrons of a popular bar speak as if they own it? One universal truth about successful bar design is that the word gets around quickly about a great, new stylish bar. People everywhere seem to gush about the beautiful new bar in town. How do we get our bar from the fixture phase to the finished design?
HOW TO IMPLEMENT BAR FINISHES
A completed bar design includes the aesthetic design. In other words, ‘how do you want your finished bar to appear?’ To answer this question, all of the bar finishes need to be addressed – from ceiling-to-floor – which means that all of the related design elements and issues need to be resolved.

COMMERCIAL BAR DESIGN FINISHING INCLUDES A COMBINATION OF FACTORS
The combination of finishes, shapes, colors and textures in your finished design needs to resonate with your patrons. The number of finishing methods and associated cost can easily exceed the cost of bar equipment, so attention has to be spent on maximizing the bar’s finish within your budget. A functional and aesthetically-appealing bar design is the end-result of considerable planning and knowledge of finishing systems.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I REMODEL MY BAR?
As I mentioned, people love to claim ownership and want to return to a bar or restaurant and where they’re comfortable and feel good about themselves. The life cycle for design is 8-12 years for most commercial establishments. In the highly competitive nightclub business this can be much shorter. Owners who avoid remodeling on a cyclical basis will feel the consequences as new competitors begin to attract their customers.
