High Bar Tables

High Tables for Bars, Restaurants, Hotels and Lounges

High bar tables are a furnishing solution designed to create dynamic, informal and contemporary spaces in bars, cocktail bars, wine bars, cafés, bistros, restaurants, hotels and hospitality venues.

Paired with stools, they make it possible to differentiate areas within the venue and create dedicated spaces for aperitifs, quick refreshments or simply social moments.

Isarreda offers a wide selection of high tables for bars and restaurants with extensive customisation options: depending on the model, customers can choose dimensions, tabletop shape, materials, colours, finishes and base type, creating configurations that reflect the identity of the venue.

The range is broad and versatile: alongside fixed high tables, there are also folding, flip-top and stackable solutions, particularly suitable for hotels, multifunctional venues and businesses that need to change their layout frequently.

High Tables for Bars and Cocktail Bars

The high bar table offers a different way of using space compared with a traditional dining table. Its greater height creates a more informal setting, particularly suitable for cocktails, aperitifs, tastings and quick refreshments.

For this reason, high tables are naturally suited to cocktail bars, wine bars, pubs, lounge bars and hotel relaxation areas. Within the same venue, they can also be used to visually distinguish one area from another.

A restaurant, for example, can create a dedicated aperitif area near the bar counter; a hotel can use them in the lobby or lounge; a cocktail bar can combine high tables, standard tables and low seating to create different ways of experiencing the space.

High Tables and Stools: Choosing the Right Combination

A high table with stools should be considered as a complete arrangement.

It is not enough to choose a table and stool that simply look good together: the relationship between their respective heights must allow for comfortable seating.

In the Ho.Re.Ca. sector, stools with a seat height of 75 cm are widely used with high tables and bar counters. When selecting the table, it is therefore important to consider both the stool height and, of course, the overall table height.

When table and stool belong to the same collection or have been designed to coordinate with one another, the selection process is often easier and also helps maintain stronger visual continuity.

Customisable High Tables: Dimensions, Materials and Finishes

The customisation of high bar tables is especially important in professional projects. Every venue has different proportions, colours and architectural features.

An elegant wine bar may require wood-effect or marble-effect finishes. A contemporary cocktail bar may favour metal, darker colours and technical surfaces. A hotel may instead look for a solution coordinated with the rest of the lobby or lounge area.

This flexibility makes it possible to design the table around the space, rather than adapting the venue to a standard product.

High Tables with Base and Top

One of the most interesting solutions for the Ho.Re.Ca. sector is the possibility of selecting the high base and tabletop separately.

This approach offers several advantages: the same family of bases can be combined with tabletops in different shapes or sizes while maintaining a consistent appearance throughout the venue.

By varying heights and dimensions while keeping coordinated materials and finishes, it is possible to create a more coherent and carefully designed environment.

Square, Round and Rectangular High Tables

The shape of the tabletop also influences how the table is used.

Square high tables are particularly versatile and make it easy to organise the space in a clean, geometric way.

Round high tables create a more fluid layout and are particularly suitable for areas dedicated to aperitifs or conversation.

Rectangular high tables can be useful for creating larger gathering points or accommodating more people around a single table.

The table should be chosen according to seating capacity, available space, circulation routes and the overall design concept of the venue.

High Tables for Wine Bars and Tastings

In a wine bar, a high table is a natural choice.

Wine tasting often takes place in a more informal setting than traditional dining, and the greater table height creates a more direct visual relationship between guests, the counter and the surrounding environment.

When paired with comfortable stools, a high table can also become suitable for longer periods of use.

High Tables for Hotels and Hospitality

High tables for hotels can be used in a wide range of settings.

Not only in the hotel bar, but also in a lobby for formal meetings, in a business lounge for short informal meetings, or on rooftops and in aperitif areas to create a more dynamic atmosphere than a traditional dining setup.

This versatility makes the high table particularly useful for hospitality venues that want to use the same space in different ways throughout the day.

High Tables for B&Bs and Hospitality Venues

B&Bs, aparthotels and holiday homes can also use high tables strategically.

In a small breakfast area, a high table can create a compact seating solution. On a terrace, it can become a dedicated spot for breakfast or aperitifs. In a property with shared spaces, it can function as an informal surface for guests.

Its main advantage is the ability to create a clearly defined function even within relatively small spaces.

Stackable High Tables

Stackable high tables are an excellent solution for venues that need to change their layout frequently.

Stackability helps reduce the amount of space required when the tables are not in use. This feature can be useful in a wide range of settings.

The ability to move and store tables makes it possible to transform the space more quickly, increasing or reducing the number of available positions according to service requirements.

Folding and Flip-Top High Tables

Another effective space-saving solution is represented by folding high tables and tables with flip-top mechanisms.

These are two different concepts: a folding table reduces its footprint by folding the structure, while in a flip-top table the tabletop is tilted vertically through a mechanism integrated into the base.

In both cases, the goal is to improve space management.

For a hotel, event area or venue with a seasonal terrace, being able to reduce the amount of space occupied by furniture quickly provides a significant operational advantage.

Space-Saving High Tables for Versatile Venues

Flexibility is particularly important in Ho.Re.Ca. environments.

The same area may be used as a café during the day, transformed into a meeting space in the afternoon and become an aperitif area in the evening.

Space-saving high tables make these transitions easier to manage.

Folding systems, stackability and flip-top mechanisms are therefore not simply technical features, but practical tools that help operators make better use of the available floor space.

In a sector where every square metre can affect venue capacity, the ability to adapt the layout has tangible value.

High Tables for Events and Networking

High tables are also widely used for events and professional gatherings.

They allow small groups of people to talk without necessarily occupying a traditional dining area.

They can be used during corporate aperitifs, networking events, trade fairs or coffee breaks.

In these situations, tables that are easy to move or fold are particularly useful because they speed up setup and dismantling.

Quality of High Tables for Intensive Use

A table intended for a bar or restaurant may be used for many hours every day.

For this reason, the quality of the product should be assessed through practical aspects such as stability, resistance, ease of cleaning and maintenance.

The greater height also makes stability a particularly important consideration when choosing a high bar table.

The base, column and tabletop dimensions must therefore be correctly proportioned.

EN 15372 Standard for Non-Domestic Tables

For tables intended for bars, restaurants, hotels and other non-domestic environments, the relevant European technical standard is EN 15372.

The standard establishes requirements relating to safety, strength, durability and stability for non-domestic tables. CATAS identifies EN 15372 as the specific standard for this type of use.

The standard is especially relevant when assessing products intended for frequent or intensive use.

Compliance, however, must always be verified for the individual product: simply being part of a professional furniture category does not automatically mean that a table has passed EN 15372 testing.

High Tables and Sustainability

Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in the design of Ho.Re.Ca. spaces.

Isarreda offers a wide selection of products made from recycled materials, recyclable materials or manufactured through processes aimed at reducing environmental impact.

It is important to distinguish these two concepts correctly: recycled means that the product or one of its components contains material recovered from a previous use, while recyclable means that the material can be recovered at the end of its life through specific processes.

A recyclable material is not necessarily made from recycled raw materials, and vice versa.

CAM-Compliant High Tables

In projects intended for the Public Administration or subject to specific environmental specifications, products compliant with CAM – Criteri Ambientali Minimi (Minimum Environmental Criteria) may be required.

The Italian Ministerial Decree of 23 June 2022 expressly includes desks and tables, tables, dining tables and occasional tables among the furniture categories covered by CAM requirements for indoor furnishings.

Isarreda’s range includes products for which documentation confirming CAM compliance is available.

Indoor and Outdoor High Tables

Outdoor high tables are particularly popular for furnishing patios, rooftops, terraces, pool bars and seasonal venues.

Not all materials intended for indoor use are automatically suitable for outdoor environments. HPL, for example, is one of the most widely used materials for outdoor table tops.

More generally, when a table is used outdoors, it is essential to check the materials used for both the base and top, their resistance to weather conditions and the recommended maintenance procedures.

Why Choose Isarreda for a Professional Project?

Choosing Isarreda for high tables for bars, restaurants and hotels means being able to evaluate different configurations based on the actual requirements of the project.

A cocktail bar may need compact high tables coordinated with stools. A hotel may favour easily movable models for lobbies and events. A wine bar may focus on materials and finishes capable of strengthening the venue’s identity. A rooftop may require products specifically designed for outdoor use.

The possibility of choosing different dimensions, materials, colours, bases, tabletops and functionalities makes it easier to create a more coherent and functional environment.

It is therefore not simply a matter of buying a table that is taller than standard, but of choosing a workstation designed around the way guests will actually use the venue.

Design, quality, customisation, stability and flexibility therefore become integral parts of the same project.
