The Tobin Ellis Signature Cocktail Station from Perlick is one of the only pieces of underbar equipment in the industry designed by a bartender for bartenders. Often referred to as the "Bartender's Cockpit," the Tobin Ellis Signature Cocktail Station features many thoughtfully designed and ergonomically created features that help eliminate typical bartender pain points.

Refrigerated Storage

The Perlick unit has refrigerated storage that is accessible. No more turning around or running to a different area of the bar to find what you need. The Tobin Ellis Signature Cocktail Station provides access to things like garnishes and vermouth (in their ideal storage conditions) without taking a single step.

Narrower Ice Bin

Bartenders who have to lean over a wide ice bin in order to make cocktail after cocktail are uncomfortable to say the least. The Tobin Ellis Signature Cocktail Station has a narrower ice bin allowing bartenders t

Perlick is honored to receive the 2016 Best-in-Class Underbar Fabrication awards for the 13th year in a row. The award included honors from both consultants and dealers who participated in the Foodservice Equipment and Supply Magazine annual survey.

In addition, Perlick also received overall Best-in-Class Award for Underbar Fabrication, and despite winning the 12 previous years, it does not diminish the significance of winning the prestigious award again. Being recognized year after year for excellence in an industry that becomes more competitive every year is something that never gets old at Perlick.

Here's how the award is given:

Foodservice operators, dealers, and consultants vote in Foodservice Equipment and Supplies magazine’s annual Best-in-Class study to honor the best foodservice equipment and supplies manufacturers based on seven performance targets: product quality, product value, product design and aesthetics, service and support, sales representation, pr

Fall is arguably the most flavorful of all the seasons. With it come requests for bartenders to craft a number of different concoctions for customers looking to take advantage of the season’s various spices and flavors. Fall flavored cocktails and drinks can be some of the most popular orders that guests will request this season. Remember, as the leaves change, so do people's tastes!

There's more profit poured at the bar than cooked in the kitchen. That's what Perlick Regional Sales Manager Corrinne Ward said on a recent episode of Foodable's Rock My Restaurant. The episode was filmed at the FCSI The Americas Biennial Conference and was focused on key trends that are helping drive profits in the food and beverage industry.

The Tobin Ellis Signature Cocktail Station was recently awarded the 2015 GOOD DESIGN™ Award from the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.

Founded in 1950, GOOD DESIGN™ is the oldest and most recognized program for design excellence in the world. This year alone, the museum received several thousand submissions from the world's leading manufacturers from nearly 50 countries. Winners were selected in November.

Vermouth. A classic almost mystical spirit that experienced its heyday in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Its versatility is limited only by the bartender's imagination, as it works in cocktails ranging from the Martini to the Manhattan to the Negroni. But to understand why vermouth is making a comeback, you first have to know why it lost favor in the first place.

During the peak of its popularity, vermouth was all of the highest quality, explained Adam Ford in his new book, VERMOUTH: The Revival of the Spirit that Created America's Cocktail Culture. After World War II, though, "almost all producers began taking short cuts that decreased the quality and flavor of vermouths."

Later, as we moved through the remainder of 20th Century, vermouth experienced another set back in terms of how it was actually stored. Vermouth

Health code regulations and standards can vary from state to state, but regardless of where your bar or foodservice operation is located, health code violations can be catastrophic to your establishment. Bars and restaurants that continue to violate inspections can lose business, get a bad reputation, or even be shut down for extended periods of time.

There are many checklists that bars, restaurants, and nightclubs can use to help them pass health inspections. The best preparation, though, is to have and maintain the proper equipment in your bar. Let's take a look at two of the most common issues that health inspectors look for when inspecting a bar, as well as how they can be resolved with one section of the Tobin Ellis Signature Cocktail Station.
