Frequently Asked Questions
-
Don't ask how many bars they've designed. Ask how many they've worked, surveyed, built, and opened. Bar design isn't learned from behind a desk. It's earned behind the bar, in the field, and on the job site.
-
Designers and consultants renovate what's there. We redesign what’s missing or isn't working. Years behind the bar make it obvious when an existing layout, counter, drain, wall, or workflow is limiting performance. Those are the changes that create faster bartenders, better guest experiences, and stronger returns. The right designer or consultant for you should be focused on the outcomes you are most interested in.
-
We've spent decades living every phase of a bar's life: working them, designing them, surveying them, building them, and opening them. That perspective changes every recommendation we make.
-
No. Interior designers make the room beautiful. We lead what happens behind and around the bar, from engine and back bar to flow and geometry, and collaborate with designers and architects on concept, finishes, lighting intent and the guest journey. Alongside them, never in place of them.

If you're evaluating a bar project, start with Bar Design Essentials, then explore our Bar Design, Ethos, and Bartender Ergonomics pages.

-
Every project is quoted individually. We're rarely the least expensive option, but we've never tried to be. We focus on creating bars that outperform their fee for years after opening.

If you're looking for decorative design, there are plenty of firms. If you want a bar shaped by decades of operational, design, and field experience, we'd love to hear about your project.
