My brother got me into the flair world. He took a basic flair course, and when he showed me what you can do with a bottle tin, I was shocked!

Well, I don’t have really just one, but I respect people like Rodrigo Delpech, Danilo Oribe for the determination to win.

Portable Bars

There are a few options out there when it comes to portable bars. The ones that we will be taking a look at are the ones that are designed for flair bartenders.

Worldwide competitions call for a lot of traveling, so these bars must be very compact and lightweight.

The first bar to be spotlighted will be the Evolution Mobile Bar.

Evolution Mobile Bar Front

Produced by BartenderOne, Evolution can be set up and disassembled in less than five minutes, holds 24 pieces of stemware, and comes equipped with a speed rail and built in garnish containers.

The speed rail holds up to 10 – 750mL bottles, and there is also a built in juice rail, which can hold up to 6 -1 litre store and pour jugs.

The ice well is very durable and can hold up to 30 lbs of ice.

After use, the bar breaks down into a self contained, compact case that measures 32” x 24” x10”.

Evolution Mobile Bar Closed

The total weight of the closed bar is 59 lbs.

I have used this bar many times and it has proven to be very durable and can take some real abuse. (I’ve stood on it for martini waterfalls!)

The cost of this unit is $1499 USD, and comes with a skirt to drape around the front. You can also get your company name or logo printed on a custom skirt.

Next time we will be looking at the Flairco portable bar. Stay tuned…
