When should you choose a bar container?
A bar container is highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of occasions, from corporate drinks to large music festivals. Especially at outdoor events, where flexible and mobile serving points are essential, bar containers prove their value. That’s why you’ll find our bar containers at festival sites across the Netherlands, often used as bars for visitors. They also provide a practical and stylish catering solution for corporate events, open days, and team-building activities.
The possibilities go beyond one-day events. A bar container can also be used as a temporary coffee bar, a sales point at Christmas markets, or even as a permanent serving unit in locations where traditional construction is not feasible or desired.
Recently, we partnered with The Zoo to transform an empty container into the Mooie Bieren Bar. The container was fully equipped with lighting, high-quality finishing, and, of course, a beer tap. The result is an atmospheric and fully functional bar that is now in full operation.
