Good to know

Before you get in touch.

Do I need a finished design?

No. Share what you know about the space and what you’d like the bar to do. You can start with an idea and work through the details with us.

Can I discuss a venue or a home?

Yes. The project brief has a route for each. Tell us where the bar will go and how you plan to use it.

What if I only need a bar for an event?

Explore bar hire for a temporary setup, then choose your pieces and preferred dates in the planner.

Let’s talk about your bar.

Share the idea, the setting and the details you already know.
