Bar Table

Casual Dining with a Social, Elevated Feel

What is a Bar Table

A bar table — also known as a high table or counter-height table — sits significantly taller than a standard dining table, typically at a height of 90 to 110 centimetres. This elevated height creates a casual, sociable dining and drinking environment that encourages relaxed interaction, making bar tables a popular choice for kitchen islands, home bars, entertainment areas, and open-plan living spaces where a more informal dining setup is preferred over a traditional seated arrangement. Paired with bar stools, they create a look that is both contemporary and highly functional.

Where Bar Tables Work Best

Bar tables are particularly well suited to open-plan kitchens and living areas where the boundary between cooking and socialising is deliberately blurred. Positioned at the end of a kitchen island or in a dedicated dining zone, a bar table creates a natural gathering point for casual meals, morning coffee, and after-dinner conversations. They also work beautifully in smaller apartments where a full-height dining table would dominate the space — the higher table and stools take up less visual weight while still providing practical dining functionality.

Pairing Your Bar Table

Bar tables should always be paired with bar stools of the appropriate height — check that the seat height of your chosen stool allows comfortable dining with a gap of approximately 25 to 30 centimetres between the seat and the underside of the tabletop. Our bar table range is available in a variety of materials including solid wood, metal, and stone-effect tops, in both round and rectangular configurations. Browse our bar stools alongside your chosen table to ensure a complementary pairing in both height and style.
