A bespoke bar is more than just a serving space — it’s the centrepiece of your venue. Whether it’s a bustling hotel lounge, a cocktail bar, or a corporate hospitality area, your bar’s design reflects your brand identity and sets the tone for the customer experience. At Proline, we design and manufacture bespoke bars that not only look exceptional but are built to last. To keep them performing at their best, regular care and maintenance are key.
1. Clean Daily — But Use the Right Products
Your bespoke bar will feature premium materials such as stainless steel, glass, timber, or stone. Each requires the correct cleaning solution to avoid damage. Use pH-neutral cleaners and soft cloths rather than abrasive pads to prevent scratches or dulling of finishes. Stainless steel should be cleaned in the direction of the grain to maintain its sheen.
2. Protect Countertops from Heat and Stains
Hot drinks, cocktail shakers, and spillages are part of daily service, but they can damage surfaces if not managed properly. Use heat-resistant mats under equipment and wipe up any acidic liquids — like lemon juice or wine — immediately to prevent etching or staining on your bespoke bar surfaces.
3. Keep Fixtures and Fittings in Check
The beauty of bespoke bars lies in their custom-built details — from under-bar refrigeration to integrated lighting. Check electrical connections, seals, and hinges regularly. Simple preventative maintenance ensures that everything functions smoothly during service, avoiding costly breakdowns or downtime.
4. Schedule Deep Cleans and Professional Servicing
While daily cleaning handles the surface level, periodic deep cleaning is essential. Schedule a professional inspection at least once a year to assess mechanical parts, drainage systems, and finishes. Proline’s bars are built for longevity, but proactive maintenance ensures they continue to perform and look as impressive as day one.
5. Invest in Refurbishment When Needed
If your bar is beginning to show wear, a refurbishment can bring it back to life. At Proline, we work with clients to refresh bespoke bars using upgraded materials, lighting, and technology — keeping your space modern without needing a full replacement.
