Brewery Communal Bar
A full-length communal bar top and live edge rail for a working Denver taproom.
- Material
- Live edge slabs
- Reclaimed timber
- Steel
Commercial work is a different problem from residential. A dining table gets wiped down once a day. A taproom bar gets glasses slid across it for twelve hours, every day, forever.
Built for abrasion
The tops are thick enough to be refinished more than once over their life, and the finish was specified for wet-glass contact rather than for looks alone. Live edges along the rail were eased more than we would on a residential piece — a sharp natural edge at elbow height in a crowded room is a liability.
Scale
A communal bar has to be laid out so the slab joints fall where they are structurally supported and visually deliberate, not wherever the material happened to run out. That planning happens before anything gets cut.
If you are specifying reclaimed material for a commercial project, start a project brief — we can talk lead times and quantities before you commit to a look.
