Solid Timber Bars

Solid Timber Bars & Bartops

There is something special about a real timber bar. Whether it reminds you of a traditional English pub, a country hotel, a whisky bar, a cellar door, or a relaxed Australian entertaining space, solid timber brings warmth, character and longevity that manufactured surfaces rarely match.

At Solid Timber Benchtops, we have been creating solid timber bars and bartops in Australia for decades. Many of our projects take inspiration from classic English-style pubs, with rich timber tones, rounded edges and a substantial handcrafted feel. We also manufacture more contemporary timber bars for restaurants, clubs, cafés, hotels, breweries, home bars and modern entertaining areas.

Custom timber bars made in Australia

Every bar is made to suit the project. We can manufacture straight bars, curved bars, U-shaped bars, bar tops around pillars, mitred corners, butt joins, wide laminations, narrow laminations and custom profiles.

Whether you are fitting out a commercial venue or creating a private bar at home, we can work from your drawings, plans, measurements or design ideas.

Durable timber bartops for commercial use

A timber bar has to do more than look good. In pubs, clubs and hospitality venues, bartops are exposed to spills, glasses, cleaning, movement and constant use. With the right timber, construction and finish, solid timber can perform extremely well in these environments.

Some of our commercial timber bars have been in place for 15 years or more and still look fantastic. The combination of quality timber, careful fabrication and the right finish helps create a surface that is both practical and full of character.

Traditional English style or modern Australian design

If you love the look of a traditional English pub, we can create a bar with classic timber warmth, depth and detail. If your project calls for something cleaner and more contemporary, we can also produce modern timber bartops with sharper lines, lighter tones or a more minimal finish.

We can manufacture in a wide range of timbers and, where required, stain the timber to achieve a specific colour or style.

  • Home bars and entertaining areas

A wide range of timbers can be used depending on the look, durability and finish required. We can discuss suitable options based on your project, preferred colour, grain style and whether the bar is for residential or commercial use.

Can the timber bar be stained to a specific colour?
