Bar height tables, also known as pub tables, generally measure 42” inches tall. Despite the name, pub tables are the average for home bars and are not commonly used in actual bars or pubs. Bar tables are much closer to chest height and make for a more intimate setting where one can easily converse with even standing individuals from a near equal height. This makes them suitable for a more relaxed atmosphere and a modern or contemporary environment.
- What’s the difference between pub and counter height tables?
Bar height and countertop height tables can easily be mistaken one for the other. Counter height tables are usually 36” tall, and a pub or bar height table measures an elevated 42” tall. Bar height tables are always very casual by comparison with standard tables which tend to be more formal, whereas counter height tables mimic the height of kitchen islands and countertops. The taller bar-height tables and chairs or bar stools are best used for snacks and cocktails, while counter height is ideal for enjoying a meal and more long-term sitting.
