Optics for Home Bar

[Steve91]

Afternoon all!

I've got a small bar setup in my kitchen, nothing too fancy but the wife would like some optics for Christmas. Anyone have any suggestions? We need a freestanding one, so nothing that screws to the wall, and ideally nothing that leaks!

Not looking to spend a fortune so around the £50 mark please.

Cheers!

A catering outfit like Nisbets or somewhere like Barware should be able to sort you something decent?

I used these guys for my wall mounted ones for my bar in the garden, they do freestanding ones as well.

This is what i was going to post

Once you have them you will end up wanting to buy your alcohol wholesale too so you can get the bottle with the labels upside down otherwise it will drive you nuts.... probably.... maybe.... it did me

Not what you asked but optics are about ease and efficiency IMO, which makes sense in a busy pub. There's more of a sense of occasion using spirit measures and you can get all sorts of interesting ones of those.

I wanted the upside-down labels as well, went on Ebay and bought empty ones and just re-filled them. I only really have 2 as I drink Vodka mainly and the wife drinks Bacardi so I bought 1 of each as the main optics. There are loads of them!
