Liquor Displays

Liquor Displays in Toronto & Canada

A liquor display keeps the bottles poured most often within arm's reach of the bartender, cutting down on turning around mid-drink during a rush. BK Resources UB4-LD series matches the depth of their underbar sink runs, so it drops into the same run as a sink or ice bin instead of mounting to a wall or counter lip. Widths run from 12 to 36 inches, from a single-tier display for a compact service bar up to a full well for a busy cocktail bar. We stock and ship liquor displays out of Vaughan to kitchens across Toronto, Mississauga, and the rest of Canada beyond the GTA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we hear from operators.

What's the difference between an underbar liquor display and a wall-mounted speed rail?

An underbar liquor display, like BK Resources' UB4-LD series, is a free-standing stainless steel unit sized to match the depth of a bar sink run — it drops into the same underbar build as the sinks and ice bins, sitting flush with the rest of the counter. A wall-mounted speed rail, by contrast, is a lighter rail that attaches to the underside of the bar counter or the lip of a sink with a mounting bracket, rather than sitting in its own section of the run. Both hold the same well liquors within reach, but an underbar display suits a bar being built from scratch with a full UB4 sink run, while a speed rail is the easier retrofit onto an existing counter.

What size liquor display do I need?

Liquor display size comes down to how many bottles your well pours and how much counter run you have to give up for it. A 12-inch display like the BK Resources UB4-LD12 Liquor Display suits a compact service bar running a handful of well liquors, a 24-inch display like the UB4-LD24 covers a standard well, and a 36-inch display like the UB4-LD36 leaves room for a full well plus a few call brands. Matching the display's depth (18" or 21") to the rest of your sink run keeps the whole underbar section flush, which matters more for the finished look than the exact width you land on.

How many bottles fit on a liquor display?

Bottle count depends more on spacing than raw width, since bartenders need enough room between bottles to grab one without knocking over its neighbor. As a rough guide, a 12-inch display like the BK Resources UB4-LD12 Liquor Display holds 3 to 4 bottles spaced for quick access, while a 36-inch display like the UB4-LD36 comfortably holds 8 to 10. Packing bottles tighter than that speeds up setup but slows down service, since a bartender reaching for one bottle during a rush shouldn't have to nudge three others out of the way first.
