Kobayashi builds the core underbar equipment as integrated stations rather than loose parts, so the ice bin, speed rail, and rinser already line up around the bartender's working zone. Browse the range:
The commercial bar equipment categories
A commercial bar runs on six equipment categories: the cocktail station (the hub), the ice bin, the speed rail, the glass rinser, the drink rail, and the drainage that ties them together. Kobayashi integrates the first five into one 304 stainless station.
Cocktail stations
The production hub. 52, 65, and 88-inch in drop-in or standalone, each with integrated ice, rail, and rinser.
Speed rails
Hold 7 to 12 most-poured bottles at the build position. Integrated into every Kobayashi station.
Ice bins & chests
135 L to 168 L insulated, NSF-spec, holding 263 to 328 lb of usable ice per service.
Drink rails
Guest-side ledge that separates drinks from the working zone. 52, 65, and 88-inch.
Portable bars
The same equipment on castors for events, patios, and pop-ups.

Frequently asked questions
A commercial bar needs a cocktail station, ice bin, speed rail, glass rinser, drink rail, bar drainage, a commercial ice maker, back bar coolers, a soda gun, and a commercial dishwasher. Kobayashi integrates the ice bin, speed rail, rinser, and drink rail into one 304 stainless station so the underbar arrives as a single coordinated unit.
Underbar equipment is the working gear mounted below the bar top in the bartender's zone: the cocktail station, ice bin, speed rail, glass rinser, and drainage. It is where drinks are actually built, as distinct from the back bar (bottle display and coolers).
Kobayashi Bar manufactures commercial underbar equipment in the USA from 18-gauge 304 stainless steel: cocktail stations, drink rails, speed rails, ice bins, and glass rinsers, all backed by a lifetime structural guarantee and shipped fully assembled in 6-8 weeks.
Core underbar equipment from Kobayashi runs $5,590 to $8,880 per cocktail station (which includes the integrated ice bin, speed rail, and rinser), plus $650 to $1,000 per drink rail. A full commercial bar's equipment package typically totals $8,000 to $35,000 including ice maker, coolers, and draft system.
Yes. 18-gauge 304 stainless steel is the standard for commercial bar equipment because it is non-porous, NSF-grade, and resists corrosion from citrus, carbonation, and chloride sanitizers for 15 to 20-plus years of daily service.
