Pub Table

Pub tables, also called bar tables or high-top tables, stand 40-42 inches tall—significantly higher than standard dining height. Paired with bar stools, they create casual, social seating that encourages conversation. The elevated height adds energy to spaces and provides variety in open floor plans. From basement rec rooms to modern kitchens, pub tables offer standing-friendly gathering spots distinct from formal seated dining.

Placement & Usage Tips

Pub tables work in basement entertainment areas, eat-in kitchens, small dining spaces, and outdoor patios. Allow 12-15 inches between stool seat and table bottom for comfortable seating.

💡 Pro Tip

Bar-height seating isn't comfortable for everyone—especially for longer meals or older guests. Consider counter-height (36 inches) as a compromise between standard and bar height.
