One of the great things about a portable bar is that you can have it customized for your business.  It can actually become a very visible way to get branding recognition.  You can have your business name and logos printed on it and include contact information such as a website or phone number.  Whether you are at a trade show or a company party, advertising your business with a customized portable bar makes sense.

When you are looking for the right portable bar, the first thing you need to do is assess your needs.  If you simply want to have one that you can put in the basement and move outside when you have parties, then your needs will be different than if you are a business that will be taking it to trade shows.  You will want to look at all of the different features that are offered so that you can determine which bar works for you.  It is important that if you will be hauling it around quite a bit you select a model that is very sturdy and easy to haul.

In general, you may find that a portable bar will often measure from four to six feet long and will vary in width depending on the different features you want to include.  They ride on casters in order to be portable, but they also usually have brakes so that you are not worried about them rolling away when they are in use. They may be a basic rectangular shape, a half circle, an “L” shape or they even may be adjustable as far as shape is concerned.  Remember that one of the things that will determine the size you get is the amount of space you have where to store it when not in use.

You will find that the counter is usually made to be water and stain resistant and you will find that these units will offer a variety of shelf configurations.  There may be a stainless steel sink or a bin that holds ice.  There may be shelves with or without doors, and you may find options with adjustable shelving as well.  Some may even come with a refrigeration unit.  In fact, you can certainly find all the bells and whistles you need and want in your search for the perfect portable bar.

Whether you would like to have a simple bar that you can roll out by the pool or you own a catering company and need a bar to make it easier to serve drinks, you can find exactly what you need by spending a little time searching for the perfect bar.

First, we’ve made some locking bottle displays and back bar bottle displays for both Crown Royal and Patron.  What makes these locking bottle displays and back bar displays unique is that they both illuminate the bottle via LED lighting and flourescent lighting to promote the bottle branding as much as possible.  These locking bottle displays allow for quick easy access and for the server to lock to prevent the customer from pouring their own glass (a growing law).  We’ve also been busy with the bottle service trays and bottle service sets, as well as locking bottle service trays and locking bottle service sets for various NYE parties around the globe. 

We also closed out the year with some bottle display units for Galliano Wine – these bottle displays are designed with tiered shelving to and will look promoting the product in stores along the east coast.  Also closing out some bottle service trays, bottle service sets, and drink carts to Russian Standard, ABSOLUT, and SKYY Vodka.  Furthermore, we put some more carts in production from a company called “Rebelcart” who will be having us manufacture these beefy auto-detail carts. 

2011 has been a record year for Fry Fabrications.  Very much looking forward to what’s in store for 2012!

In other news we’ve been making a few custom bars for Diaego in Canada, a bowling alley in Michigan, and a local club here in Tempe, AZ called Fat Tuesdays. Also on deck are some pistol shaped bottle service sets for a Las Vegas club called “Revolver” as well as some custom bottle service trays for a new club in Hollywood, California called “Agency.” A custom folding bar was also created for Sobieski Vodka and a custom kisok with locking doors was made for “The Interior Shop” in Phoenix, AZ – this kiosk turned out extra special as the customer added some hot rod style pinstriping to the bar and it looks amazing. We have a few more projects potentially in the works as we begin to wind down 2011. Also in the coming weeks it’ll be time to prepare once again for the Nightclub and Bar Expo in Las Vegas where Fry Fabrications will be displaying our coolest products to date.

In addition to all the great business we’ve been receiving, we aquired a new CNC break press machine. This machine has an adjustable back-stop and also has different speeds and settings to further expand the way that metal can be bent and formed to not only give the piece a unique look, but and also be performed quicker.
