Pub Tables Key Terms

Pub table options

As their name implies, pub tables originated in pubs and bars, but they are also a good seating choice for restaurants, game rooms, pool halls and outdoor dining spaces, as well as residential areas. Pub tables are sized for two people and are bar or counter height -- higher than regular dining tables. They often have a pedestal base instead of legs to save space. The traditional pub table is round and made of heavy wood, but there are many modern variations available. These include metal and glass tables in square and other shapes. Get to know some of the terms used by pub table providers to make the best choice for your business.

 

Wood

Heavy wood pub tables in cherry, mahogany and other finishes are the most traditional type of pub table.

Retro

Retro pub tables are made of chrome with stools in leather or vinyl. They are reminiscent of tables used in old-time soda shops and are an excellent choice for themed restaurants, ice cream parlors and other casual environments.

Metal

Metal pub tables usually have a more modern look. They feature table tops of either metal or glass and are available in a range of colors and finishes.

Granite

Granite-topped tables are an excellent choice for outdoor use and high traffic commercial use. Granite withstands stains and scratches better than other materials.

Outdoor

Outdoor pub tables are available in a range of finishes that can stand up to the elements, including aluminum, plastic and resin. They often include hardware to anchor the table to the ground.

Wall mount

Wall mount pub tables are a good choice for billiards and game rooms and small eating areas. They provide additional seating without taking up as much floor space as a full table.
