Tebery 2 Pack Rubber Bar Mats, Non-Slip 12 x 6 Inch Black
Tebery's 2 pack of black non-slip rubber bar mats at 12 x 6 inch for compact bar stations.
A bar mat is the unsung hero of a tidy mixing station, catching drips, spills, and stray ice before they reach your counter. The raised ridges keep glasses steady while you pour and let liquid drain underneath, so your work surface stays dry. Match the size to your pouring area, since a small mat crowds fast when you build multiple drinks. Look for heavy, non-slip rubber that stays put and rinses clean under the tap. A little cushion protects delicate glassware too. Our picks keep your bar neat through a long night of mixing.
