A bar speed rail is a stainless steel trough mounted at the front of the bartender's station that holds well bottles upright and within one reach of the pour. Kobayashi integrates a full-length 304 stainless speed rail into every station, including a 12-bottle rail on the 88-inch.
The well is the set of bottles a bartender pours most. If those bottles sit on a back shelf, every drink costs a turn and a step. A speed rail puts the well on the front face of the station, at hip height, so the pour stays in one motion.
How a bar speed rail mounts
A speed rail bolts to the front face of the ice bin, angled so bottles sit upright and visible. On a Kobayashi station it is welded into the build, not clamped on, so it never works loose during service.
Full-length 304 stainless
Welded to the ice bin face, the same gauge stainless as the station body.
Up to 12 bottles
The 88-inch station carries a 12-bottle rail; the 52 and 65-inch scale to size.
Drains to the bin
Spills and condensation drain away rather than pooling on the rail.
Speed rail capacity by station size
Match rail length to the size of your well. A high-volume bar runs more well bottles plus backups, so the 88-inch station carries the longest rail. Smaller stations keep the same mounting and stainless, scaled to the build position.
Every Kobayashi station ships with a welded stainless speed rail on the ice bin face. Pick a size by well volume:

Frequently asked questions
A bar speed rail is a stainless trough mounted at the front of the station that holds well bottles upright and within one reach of the pour, so the most-used bottles never leave the bartender's hand.
It depends on length. The Kobayashi 88-inch station carries a 12-bottle rail; the 52 and 65-inch stations scale the rail to their build position.
On a Kobayashi station the speed rail is welded to the front face of the ice bin as part of the build, so it stays rigid and drains into the bin rather than clamping on and working loose.
Yes. The speed rail is 304 stainless steel, the same gauge as the station body, fully passivated and made in USA.
