What is a bar counter
The bar dates back to European and American bars, where the seller and the visitor were separated by a counter. The bartender-seller puts a glass, glass or mug of a drink on the counter, a tiny snack on a plate, the visitor instantly consumes it and leaves. At some point, two visitors lingered, asked to repeat the drink, and in order not to stand on their feet, they demanded high stools. So gradually the counter that separated the seller and the buyer turned into a kind of gathering place for people who did not need an extensive menu. The bar counter has become a must-have in the interior of a certain class of establishments. A high chair with a crossbar for the legs has become an obligatory element of the bar counter kit.
Western style fashion
The practical sense of installing a bar in Russian cuisine is determined only by the owner of the kitchen. This decision can be regarded as a tribute to the chosen style of arrangement, which came to Russia from films.
In a small kitchen with an area of 8-10-12 m2 the simultaneous presence of a dining table and a bar counter is problematic. Installing only a bar counter will deprive the family of a dining table at which you can sit facing each other. At the bar, you can sit shoulder to shoulder, in a row, and there will be some wall in front of your eyes. And children are generally uncomfortable to sit at a high bar on high chairs. A place for the solitude of two from society will not work out.
If the apartment is large, then in order to maintain a certain fashionable style of arrangement, you can find a place for a classic bar counter. Actually, the concept of "classic" refers only to drinking establishments.
Of course, there are often situations in a family when you need to quickly feed one or two children who have come running from school. There is no point in setting a large table. But there remains the problem of placing this mini-table. It can be a folding table top, hinged to one wall or to the wall of the cabinet, on the other side, a folding support leg is attached. A good place for gatherings is a balcony or loggia. There it is possible to attach a narrow folding tabletop, and everyone sitting behind it will be facing the street or courtyard. This is more interesting than sitting in the kitchen facing the wall. Another version of this option is that an extended window sill can play the role of a bar in a small kitchen.
In the kitchen-living room, the bar counter can act as a separator between the areas of reception and cooking. If you are not a dogmatist, then part of the bar counter can be used as an additional tabletop - for placing excess dishes or as another workplace.
