Chivari’s Comprehensive Collection of Portable Bars

When you think of unforgettable events — weddings, galas, pop-up parties, or corporate mixers — there’s always one key gathering point that brings guests together and keeps the celebration flowing: the bar. But not all bars are created equal. Chivari’s Swank Collection of Portable Bars is changing the way event professionals, venues, and rental companies serve drinks, boost profits, and elevate guest experiences — all with the same attention to craftsmanship and smart design that defines the Chivari name.

A Modern Solution with Deep Hospitality Roots

From grand hotel lounges to rustic barn weddings, the bar has always been more than just a counter — it’s a hub of conversation, celebration, and connection. But for too long, event planners and rental companies have settled for makeshift setups or heavy, cumbersome bars that make transport a headache and storage nearly impossible. Chivari saw an opportunity to reinvent this staple by combining classic bar design with modern portability and commercial-grade durability.

Built to Impress — and Work Hard

Take Chivari’s flagship 7' Portable Folding Bar — available in crisp white or sleek black. It’s a masterclass in marrying style with utility. Each bar features a premium high-pressure laminate (HPL) countertop that resists spills, stains, and the wear and tear that comes with serving hundreds of guests. Raised front and side panels protect the bar’s body from accidental splashes, ensuring your investment stays pristine event after event.

Underneath, a spacious 17-inch deep internal shelf provides ample room for bottles, ice, mixers, and glassware, giving bartenders everything they need within arm’s reach — all while keeping the front service area clean and inviting. The countertop itself offers plenty of real estate for napkins, straws, and branded signage, giving your bar setup a polished, professional look.

Smart Design, Effortless Portability

What truly sets the Swank Collection apart is its practical folding design. When the party’s over, the top and internal shelf remove easily, and the bar’s side panels fold neatly into the front, collapsing the entire structure into a compact footprint just five inches thick. Each bar ships in two rugged, protective boxes to ensure every surface arrives unblemished, ready to wow at the next venue.

Weighing just 92 pounds, these bars are surprisingly easy for a single staff member to move, assemble, or store. Whether you’re loading them into a box truck for a remote wedding or stacking them in a tight storage unit between events, Chivari’s thoughtful engineering keeps labor costs and headaches to a minimum.

Maximize Profits, Minimize Wait Times

Beyond good looks and easy handling, these bars are true revenue engines. Anyone in hospitality knows the first rule of bar management: long lines kill drink sales. Every extra bar station reduces wait times, keeps guests happy, and encourages more orders — which means more profit in the till.

Whether you’re running a wedding, a beer garden festival, or a corporate cocktail hour, adding just one or two of Chivari’s portable bars can dramatically increase your beverage sales. Many operators find that a single event can pay for the bar itself — and then some

Rustic or Refined — Perfect for Any Theme

The Swank Collection isn’t limited to just black and white. Event designers love Chivari’s rustic-inspired 42" x 48" Portable Folding Bar, which combines farmhouse charm with the same robust plywood core found in Chivari’s renowned banquet tables. Each bar is built with 11 layers of Okoume plywood — a significant upgrade over the industry norm — and covered in durable Formica with stylish “C Channel” silver edging for an elegant touch.

Custom touches are easy, too. Add company logos, sponsor branding, or even bride and groom names with interchangeable signs to personalize each bar for the occasion. It’s just one more way Chivari helps you turn a functional piece into an on-brand centerpiece.

Practical, Profitable, Unforgettable

At its core, Chivari’s Swank Collection of Portable Bars is designed for one purpose: to help event professionals deliver a seamless, stylish guest experience while maximizing every square foot of the venue. Simple to set up, built to last, and compact to store, these bars prove that portable doesn’t have to mean “makeshift.”

From intimate weddings to bustling corporate receptions, Chivari’s portable bars raise the standard — and your revenue — every time they unfold.
