Bar Drainboards

Bar drainboards, which facilitate the air drying of glassware, are usually made of stainless steel and may include a backsplash.

Professional Bar Drainboards for Commercial Operations

KaTom offers a comprehensive selection of bar drainboards built to support demanding beverage programs where glassware turnover and workspace sanitation are essential. From modular glass drying racks to high-capacity drainboard cabinets, our inventory is designed for busy nightclubs, craft cocktail lounges, and professional restaurant bars. Whether you are outfitting a new station with Krowne underbar drainboards or upgrading your service well with Eagle Group drying surfaces, you can find durable, high-performance solutions from the industry's most trusted manufacturers.

Commercial Bar Drainboards by Application

Outfit every area of your operation with purpose-built equipment and supplies:

High-Volume Glassware Drying – Industrial-grade underbar drainboards and glass racks from Krowne and Advance Tabco featuring pitched surfaces to ensure rapid moisture runoff and spot-free drying.
Integrated Storage & Organization – Heavy-duty drainboard cabinets and units with shelves from Eagle Group that provide a dedicated drying area on top while offering secure storage for backup smallwares below.
Seamless Station Integration – Professional filler drainboards and corner units designed to bridge the gap between sinks and ice bins, creating a continuous, professional stainless steel work surface.
Enhanced Sanitation & Airflow – Specialized removable perforated inserts and stamped drainboard tops that promote 360-degree airflow around glassware to prevent moisture buildup and support hygiene protocols.
Custom Layout Support – A wide range of recessed and flush-mount drainboards available in multiple widths and depths to fit the specific ergonomic footprint of your underbar environment.

Key Benefits of Industrial-Grade Bar Drainboards

Choosing the right drainboards can significantly impact your operation's bottom line:

Durability Under Heavy Use – Built with reinforced materials like 304-series stainless steel and featuring leak-proof welded seams, these units can withstand constant moisture exposure and the rigors of 24/7 commercial operation.
Improved Efficiency – Purpose-built drying surfaces reduce the need for manual towel drying, allowing staff to focus on guest service while ensuring a steady supply of clean, dry glassware.
Enhanced Safety & Structural Integrity – Features like bullnose edges and reinforced mounting brackets support structural safety and reduce the risk of workplace snags or equipment failure in high-traffic zones.

Frequently Asked Questions

What industries use bar drainboards from KaTom?

Our drainboards are essential for commercial bars, coffee shops, juice bars, and any foodservice operation requiring point-of-service glassware sanitation and efficient drying.

What is the difference between a drainboard and drainboard cabinet?

A standard drainboard is an open-frame or countertop-mounted drying surface, whereas a drainboard cabinet includes an enclosed base for hidden storage of chemicals, glass racks, or dry inventory.

How do I choose the right drainboard size for my layout?

Measure the available linear footage in your underbar run. Most manufacturers like Krowne offer standard increments ranging from 12 to 48 inches, allowing you to customize the drying capacity based on your peak-hour glassware volume.
