Glassware is essential for your bar. A bar supply store such as Chefs’ Toys provides you with all the glassware you need, including:

In addition to glassware, supplies for a bar should include dinnerware, flatware, coffee cups, and saucers, as well as coffee makers and suitably sized cooking equipment for back-of-house food production.

Compared to restaurants, bar equipment is compact and comparatively inexpensive. Still, a bar needs some larger appliances to run efficiently, including:

A bartender’s bar kit includes a selection of commercial utensils and tools designed to make preparing and serving drinks easier and more efficient. A well-thought-out bar kit includes the following:

• Cocktail shakers to mix drinks.
• Cocktail strainers to keep ice and other ingredients out of glasses.
• Corkscrew bottle openers for wine.
• Flat-top bottle openers to open multiple beer bottles quickly.
• Jiggers to measure alcohol.
• Muddlers to mash or bruise fruit, herbs, and spices in a glass.
• Paring knife and cutting board to prepare garnish and flavoring ingredients.
• Pouring spouts for liquor bottles.
• Stir spoons for mixing cocktails.
