What Is A Bar Table And Where Can You Use It?

A bar table is a highly versatile piece of furniture, and despite the name is not only useful to be used as a bar counter.

Let us have a look at what exactly bar tables are and how you can put them to good use for a whole range of applications in your office, school, restaurant and home.

What Is A Bar Table?

When referring to such a table, this is usually a slimmer table with a reasonably narrow counter top. The key defining factor, though, is the height. Traditionally, such a table would be 42 inches in height, matching the usual height of bar counters in pubs and restaurants. This dimension makes them perfect for standing or for being seated at high bar stools. 

Let us look at some of the versatile uses of these tables.

Where Space Is An Issue

These tables are great where space is limited. They are narrower than regular tables but can still accommodate either seated or standing persons around all four sides. They are perfect for office bars, dining tables in staff rooms and other places where there is insufficient space for a regular-sized table.

These tables are also perfect for plating, chopping, and other food preparation when you need extra space in your kitchen (restaurant or home).

For Temporary Desk Space

These versatile tables can be used as temporary desks for meetings and other gatherings. They take up very little space but can offer additional workspace to any office or classroom setting. They are also great for providing extra storage space for documents, books and equipment that are not used frequently.

Use Bar Tables As A Decor Item

They are the perfect size to use as a side table in a dining area for cutlery and crockery. Or add one to your reception area and decorate it with fresh flowers, pot plants or magazines to make an attractive display for your waiting visitors.

The Obvious Use

Bar tables make the perfect bar counters! Use them in your office, restaurant or home as your bar counter. Add some matching bar stools to create the perfect entertainment area for your business or home.

Pub tables can have a great function within your home. They don’t have to be used as the standard eating table anymore, they can serve many other functions. They come in many shapes, sizes and materials. They may come with a rectangular and circular tabletop, be built to different heights, and be made from various materials, such as wood or metal. Check out how you can use them alternatively in your home.

In the living room

If you’ve ever needed an end table for holding coffee table books or photo frames, may we suggest using a pub table? Pub tables in the living room can be a great way to change up the planes of your living room. With coffee tables, chairs and sofas, all at similar levels, it can be a nice change to include a slightly higher table off to the side. It can be used for multiple things, a small stack of books or perhaps a place where you can work as well. You could also put a pub table directly behind any couch. It could function as a small dining table for casual dinners watch a movie. Rather than mess up the couch by eating on it, try using a pub table in the living room as your snack headquarters during a movie or a big game. A pub table could be the perfect fit for what you’re looking for in your living room. Add bar stools to complete the look!

 In the kitchen

 A pub table is also a great table to be used for dining. If you have a formal dining room, and only a small space for an eat-in kitchen table, try using a pub table. It’s a great table to use as a kitchen table, and a great space to use for kids doing homework or more. Using a pub table as a sort of breakfast bar or breakfast nook is a great way to incorporate one into a smaller space in your kitchen.

In your office

If you have a small room in your home that you’ve always wanted to turn into an office, it could be the perfect spot for a pub table. A pub table is much smaller and lighter than most official desks are, and is probably more affordable for a home office. It’s the perfect place for a couple of file folders, your laptop and a mug full of pens or pencils. If you don’t have an office in your home, a pub table could be the perfect thing to put off to the side of your living room and use as a makeshift desk.

In the Entry

A pub table is a wonderful addition to the entry of your home as a great entryway table, a place to use for car keys, purses, sunglasses and more.

Take a look at the space in your home and see where a pub table could be a great use to you. If you’ve wanted to redesign, try incorporating a pub table into the mix. Pub tables are one of those very versatile pieces of furniture that you can incorporate into many areas of your home. Check out our pub tables for purchase today here.
