BARE BARREL® Mixology Bartender Kit Bar Set | 14-Piece Cocktail Shaker Set | Martini Barware Mixing Tools for Home Bartending | 35 Recipe Cards | Gift Set (28oz Boston Shaker, Jet Black/Black)

Starting your home bar can be an intimidating prospect. Knowing what you need and working within the average person's budget and space often means everything in your bar needs to be versatile and easy to care for without too many niche gadgets. I was very pleased with Bare Barrel's compact and sleek barware set. I loved the stainless steel selection of tools without unnecessary frills, who needs a jigger with an awkward handle? Each item is sturdy and functional, perfect for home bar use. I was delighted to see the attention to detail such as a more ergonomic muddler with a textured bottom, caps for pour spouts and a spiral handled bar spoon. Details that are often overlooked in mass produced sets, but can really make a difference in everyday use. Bare Barrel has a clear view of aesthetics, offering a range of metallic colorways and a coordinated, compact wooden caddy that makes storing and pulling out tools easy and efficient. They have also clearly understood their market for the cocktail enthusiast and home bar builder through not only a solid set of tools but a straightforward and concise cocktail recipe card booklet, an extra thoughtful touch; especially when gifting. The recipes were a core catalog of classics to give someone new confidence in an approachable way. Room for improvement? Always; but nothing that detracts from the pleasure of using this set but is more aligned with personal preference. Working in the industry and now entertaining frequently at home, I would love to see an insulated Boston shaker version and a tighter coil on the spring of the Hawthorne strainer for a tighter fit and for a finer strain on foamy cocktails like sours and fizzes, but these would be enhancements and not a reason to overlook this great set!

High quality, beautiful set, heavy duty, has everything you need to bartend!! Great product for the money!!

I purchased this bartender kit as a Christmas gift for my husband, and he absolutely loves it. The pieces have a really nice, weighted feel to them and feel well-made—not flimsy or cheap at all. The craftsmanship is impressive, and everything feels solid and durable. One of my favorite parts is the stand/caddy it comes with. I had previously bought him a different set that was lightweight and messy to store, and it never poured very well. This one is a huge upgrade. The tools fit neatly in the holder, stay organized, and look great displayed on the counter or bar area. It’s functional, stylish, and feels like a quality set you’d actually want to use and show off. Overall, a great gift for anyone who enjoys making drinks at home and wants something that looks as good as it performs.

Bought the Bare Barrel Bartender Kit for my son who is a new bartender and wants to perfect his skills at home. This kit is very nice and has everything he needs. Love the black sheen.

Really nice set! Have not used it yet so can’t speak to performance, but it looks great, the pieces feel sturdy, and the pieces fit well and snug in the stand. Love the variety of pieces it comes with, including 2 stoppers and a tiny cleaning brush. Great value!

If you're just starting out in bar-tending and want to practice at home, then this is the kit for you. No rust. Sizes work well Value for the money 5 of 5 Great for a gift! Very easy to clean.

It works perfectly for our shop bar. It's not super high quality but for the price it is well worth it. Reason for only 4 stars is that it wasn't obvious that the mixer doesn't actually fasten together.

At first this was a GIFT but I decided to KEEP it myself.

I like the quality and look. Definitely recommend.

Excellent quality product very well finished it looks perfect on our home bar!! Slight issue with a bottle stopper which was rectified immediately!! Customer service went above and beyond!!! Well recommended 👌

Scatola rotta e non tutto integro…doveva essere un regalo ed invece è stata una brutta figura

I’m really enjoying the bartender kit - it has all the essentials and a 30ml/15ml jigger is great vs the usual 25ml. The stand is sturdy and keeps everything tidy and secure. The shaker is great, it sits together nicely and is comfortable to hold - the suction is spot on without the need to bash it too much to get it apart! The strainer works perfectly with the shaker too. I chose the silver (stainless steel) as not only does it look good, but its dishwasher safe too :-) Very impressed with the quality and with how tidy I’ve been since I started using it! The cocktail cards are handy too - lovely design and a great collection of classics for inspiration.

Awesome set
