Bar and Beer Insights for Efficiency and Profitability
Finally, it’s 2021! While our favorite bars are reopening, customer preferences have changed.
We are sharing the best ways to take advantage of this St. Patrick’s Day by successfully navigating a new set of expectations by thirsty patrons.
Bar Supplies
TREND: This year, we can expect to see an uptick in demand for specialty drinks.
Alcohol consumption jumped 19% for middle-aged adults last year. However, drinking during the pandemic was generally done at home, without frills or festivity.
Have your bar ready to accommodate unique requests and to feature hand-crafted, stand-out offerings on your drink menu.
Whether you pour wine, beer, or liquor, we have everything a mixologist might need to provide a guest with a perfectly made specialty beverage. Here is our complete list of bar supplies that you’ll need to dazzle and delight!
We are especially proud of Valpro’s Back Bar Coolers, the premier choice for drink refrigeration. Valpro equipment is highly durable and manufactured with uncompromising quality and state-of-the-art features:

Beverageware
TREND: The days of communal cocktails are over.
In the years leading up to 2020, Scorpion Bowls (and the like) were gaining serious momentum. However, since the onset of Covid-19, any appeal for drink sharing has vanished.
Today, each person is ordering his or her own drink in its own vessel. And on St. Patrick’s Day, you can bet that two drinks of choice will be Guinness beer and Irish whiskey.
To prepare for the masses, we recommend stocking up on quality, traditional beverageware used to serve beer and whiskey, such as:
Beverage Blenders & Mixers
Make quality drinks efficiently.
Conquer the bar rush and speed up your drink distribution services with top of the line beverage blenders and mixers.
Our Hamilton Beach, Waring, and Skyfood blenders are unparalleled appliances which offer superior results. With strong horsepower motors and extra sharp stainless steel blades, these blenders will perform perfectly amidst the St. Patrick’s Day bar rush.
Bartending Supplies
TREND: People want flair.
It’s time to restock! Our cocktail shakers, bar mats, jiggers, liquor pourers and more will get your bar outfitted and ready to wow revelers on this year’s 3-leaf clover inspired holiday!
