The bar team at The German Gymnasium in Kings Cross, London, utilise Urban Bar glassware for maximum visual effect. The highly decorated cocktails produced by the Meister Bar upstairs at the venue are a testament to London’s position as a hub for world leading mixology.

Our Retro Fizz 1910 Cocktail Glass takes its inspiration from vintage Pall Mall glassware produced in the early 20th century. Popular with a wide variety of venues, the classic etched pattern lends itself to bars aiming for a retro aesthetic.

Best Newcomer

Not one to stick to convention, LaLit have taken our new Ginza Pilsner Glass out of its comfort zone to serve cocktails. This prestigious London hotel will teach you a thing or two about cocktails in their Teacher’s Room bar.

Immediately proving popular when it joined our catalogue in 2017, our cut crystal stemmed beer glass has shown itself to be very versatile.

The Spey Tumbler has been a popular glass for many years at Urban Bar, made for whisky tasting, but used for a wide range of drinks. The sleek copita shape directs aromas up towards the nose, and apparently directs lit liquor in the same direction!
