Bar & Beverage Design
Bar and beverage service design is a footprint problem before it is a design problem: back-bar, cellar, servery and joinery all have to fit into a space that is usually smaller and more irregular than a full kitchen envelope, and drainage decisions made in concrete cannot be changed once the slab is poured.
At Good Catch Bar, Manchester, ACD designed a basement bar servery where counter and joinery coordination had to resolve around structural constraints most kitchen briefs never encounter, with drainage-in-concrete decisions locked in before the pour.
Tight-footprint expertise and bespoke fabrication specification are not an add-on service here; they are the default assumption for every bar brief ACD takes on.

What ACD Delivers for Bar & Beverage Projects
Small footprint, zero drainage surprises.
ACD operates as the specialist catering consultant within the bar and hospitality project team, interfacing with architects, joiners and main contractors to take full ownership of the beverage service scope.
- Tight-footprint layout expertise: Back-bar, cellar and servery resolved within constrained, often irregular envelopes, the norm for bar fit-outs, not the exception.
- Bespoke fabrication specification: Counter and joinery specified to the actual site geometry, coordinated with the joiner before fabrication starts.
- Drainage-in-concrete coordination: Drainage routes and falls resolved and locked in before the pour, the one decision on a bar fit-out with genuinely no way back once made.
- M&E coordination to PoC: Every gas, water, electrical and drainage connection defined in Revit before the tender pack leaves the office.
