Where to find pourers? (Bar equipment)
-
Well ok this isn't a bar (adult) topic, but a real bar topic.
Where may I find pourers, other than the liquor shop at Lido?
-
Thanks!
-
By the way, any guys working in bars here?
Even if you're not, do offer me your opinion on the below issue.
Should I get a chrome or plastic pourer? I don't suppose the chrome pourer will rust right? But if I'm not wrong chrome tends to become dull after a long time. -
u can try sia huat at chinatown.. most of the time it won't get dull if u noe hw to take care of it. plastic might get dirty on the inside as well.

Wow 1st post to answer my question. I suppose you got some experience in bartending. Any tips for a newbie?
-
I used to work as a part time bartender before, most bars usually use plastic pourers now.. very commonplace if you notice.Originally posted by aRcTiC_sTaR:By the way, any guys working in bars here?

If wat you says is chrome, chrome itself is a hardened layer of steel to protect the core metal (ie. mild steel) The layer of chrome is about 2 to3 microns thick and it should not rust in this area.....
It is someting similar to stainless steel 316 type of finishing...... -
Okay. I bought several pourers, a shaking tin, mixing glass, a strainer and a jigger. That should suffice for basic home bartending. Anything else that you guys recommend?

Continued from a closed topic on 'Irregularities In Pricing @ Barworks.com.sg'.
So far:Originally posted by aRcTiC_sTaR:The currency denoted in their website states SGD.
I went down yesterday to get some bar equipment. When doing a check on the web, the total came up to $28. But when I got the stuff from the shop, the total was $37 instead.

Originally posted by aRcTiC_sTaR:I didn't sum up the total ma... After paying then I realised that I was overcharged. Anyway I've sent an email to barworks to ask for an explanation. Hope that they will be able to provide me with a satisfactory answer.
If they say the prices were not reflected then I've got nothing much to say. But since the website is a main source of their operations, they should constantly update the prices. Like I said, a few dollars difference is still acceptable, but the difference was $9. From $28 to $37, that's a 25% extra, definitely a cause for concern.Originally posted by ditzy:So for now you can rule out currency exchange as a cause. What if they tell you the prices reflected on their website was not updated? -
Barworks has gotten back to me with a satisfactory reply. I'm impressed by their efficiency and customer-orientated attitude.
Thank you for the email. Sorry for the Irregularities. The website was set up in 2003 wheras the retail shop was set up in 2005. Some prices have changed and we no longer provide online shopping and delivery for bar items.
Now that's what I call good service. Thumbs up from me.
Apologies for the pricing difference. Kindly see below for the price I charged you so that you can have a understanding of the pricing currently. Hope you can understand as operating an online store costs is totally different from operating an actual retail store given higher rental, manpower, electricity etc. Thanks and good day!
Warmest Regards

If margarita glass not available.Originally posted by aRcTiC_sTaR:By the way anyone knows where I can buy Margarita glasses? I can find collins glass, champagne glass etc but can't find Margarita glasses.
Use Champagne Saucer, it's the next best solution.
You can try looking in Ikea or those 'concept Living' stores. -

Ok 1 last question, does anyone know where to get the tiny straw used for cocktail glasses? It's usually red or black and used when you're having martini.
