Champagne bar equipment setup

Twenty-three positions across seven zones — by-the-glass taps under argon, sparkling held at service temperature, flute polishing, an aperitivo station, small plates, POS and the signage out front. Every line is a catalog item you can open, read and price.

A sparkling-led bar. The equipment problem is narrower than a wine bar and harder: pressure. An open bottle of champagne loses its mousse in hours, so the dispensing wall and the service temperature do more for the list here than anything else on this page.

Quantities assume a 40-seat room with a four-meter counter. Flutes and coupes are picked separately — the shape changes what the wine does in the glass. Send the list and we adjust the counts before quoting.

By-the-glass & preservation

Sparkling by the glass is a pressure problem, not a storage one. A dispenser under inert gas is what makes a serious list pourable one glass at a time.

Chilling & storage

Sparkling is served colder than still wine and drops out of condition faster when it is not.

Glass care

A flute shows every mark. This is the zone where a champagne bar quietly wins or loses.

Aperitivo station

The rest of the mix: spritz, cocktails built on sparkling, and something for whoever came along.

3 recommended

Small plates

Enough food to keep a table sitting, not a kitchen.

Room, POS & service

The part guests remember without being able to name it.

1 must-have · 1 recommended · 2 optional

Signage & advertising

What the street sees before anyone reads a menu. Signage is the last thing installed and the first thing a guest reads, so it belongs in the build list, not in the "later" pile.

The flutes and coupes are yours to choose

Flute, tulip and coupe are three different drinks out of the same bottle — the flute holds the bead, the tulip opens the nose, the coupe throws both away for the look of it. We stock the forms; pick the ones your room is actually for and we price them with the order.
