Description

8ft Wood Bar Rental Chicago

The 8ft Wood Bar is the longer of our two rustic bars, built for events where the bar has to move volume and still look like a piece of furniture rather than equipment. The front and sides are horizontal wood planks in a dark rustic stain, topped with a smoother finished counter. At 96 inches, two bartenders work it comfortably with surface left over for garnish trays, ice, and a point-of-sale station.

One built-in shelf runs the full 96 inches on the working side, so bottles, glassware, mixers, and tools stay off the counter and within reach of both bartender positions. That built-in storage is the practical difference between the 8ft Wood Bar and our LED and acrylic bars, which have none. The back is open for staff, and the counter sits at 42 inches, standard bar height, so bar-height stools pull up to the guest side.

Both wood bars share a 24-inch depth and a 42-inch height, so the 6ft and 8ft set flush end to end when one bar is not long enough for the room. We deliver, set, and strike throughout Chicago and the suburbs, including Lacuna Lofts, the Ravenswood Event Center, downtown hotels, and corporate campuses across Chicagoland.

FAQ

Is one 8ft Wood Bar enough for a busy event?

For most rooms, yes. Two bartenders work it comfortably with counter left over for garnish trays, ice, and a point-of-sale station. Past a few hundred guests, or in a room with more than one entrance, a second bar elsewhere clears lines faster than one long bar.

How much storage does the built-in shelf hold?

The shelf runs the full 96 inches of the bar, so both bartender positions have bottles, mixers, and glassware in reach. On a bar this long that is usually enough to run a full service without adding a separate piece.

Can I set the 6ft and 8ft Wood Bars together?

Yes. Both share a 24-inch depth and a 42-inch height, so they line up flush end to end when a single bar is not long enough for the room.

What seating works with the wood bars?

Bar-height stools. Our Payton Bar Stools have a 30-inch seat height, the standard pairing for a 42-inch bar, and their silver or gold frames read cleanly against the dark plank front.
