Classic Design

Traditional bar designs, whether for home, pub or restaurant, usually include a large distinctive moulding which surrounds and separates
the bartender from the patron or guest. This perimeter railing normally protrudes above the bar top acting as an elbow or arm rest and
potentially containing some of the spills.

Since the vast majority of bars are simply rectangular plywood boxes in various configurations, the arm rail and other decorative molding
strips fastened to corners and / or arranged in patterns on the front / side walls are what provide the styling characteristics. These details are
often designed into a specific layout, as different wood species and / or finished in a way to make them stand out or complement the
architecture, theme or decor of the room.

Modern Styling

In what may be considered more of a contemporary design, many bars will have flat or smooth bar tops. Stone, tile, laminate, wood, glass,
brick and a variety of other materials are among the many choices for either style. These may offer a little more real estate so to speak from
the same footprint, translating into a slight increase in the surface area available for drinks, garnishes and more. Some schools of thought
suggest fewer spills happen since there is no raised edge for glasses to bump into. Of course, alcohol being involved may have something
to do with the accidents.

Barina Craft

In keeping with classic wooden boat design, some had trim and other functional pieces above the deck while many were smooth with few if
any protruding elements other than hardware. So whether you subscribe to a particular spillage theory (containment versus reduction) or just
prefer one style over the other, the choice is yours. Barina Craft offers flush mounted and recessed bar top styles as standard options for
your home bar. Both reflect the beauty and elegance of traditional nautical designs.
