About this video:
In this video, Rick Uzubell from Cabaret Design Group talks about more bar design ideas by discussing drink rail design for restaurants, bars, sports bars and man caves. Rick’s discussion begins by reviewing an application for a drink rail of a hotel bar he recently designed. Rick then reviews the latest bar dimensions and clearances for ergonomic bar design for drink rails, by demonstrating those standards in a downloadable architectural layout he prepared for the project being discussed. The above sketch details all dimensions critical for planning ADA and customer activity zones. Finally, Rick also reviews a detailed sketch of the best DIY drink rail he’s designed, which is also downloadable.
