Very Good Home Tool

This muddler has a lot to recommend it. First off, the muddling head is pretty wide which allows you to muddle a lot of items (or large items) efficiently and quickly.

Secondly, the overall size is great. It's plenty long enough to use in any mixing glass I've ever seen while also being long enough to keep your hand well away from a pint glass that many home bartenders use. The grip is also great for either full-finger or finger tip grips.

And finally, it is super easy to wash. I handwash mine but they say it's good in the dishwasher top rack.

The only thing I don't love about this muddler is that it is not wooden. I just like the look and feel of wood tools but it doesn't affect the performance at all. Also, maybe the plastic could deteriorate more quickly than you would like it to but this shouldn't be an actual worry--everything else I've gotten from A Bar Above has been high quality and durable.

Hi Erick,
Thank you for your review! I am happy to hear that you like the muddler. We also offer a wooden muddler so please check that one out as well! Thanks again :)

Another great product!

I love all of the bar tools from A Bar Above!

Bar Basics Course

From not knowing anything to becoming confident enough to apply as a bartender.

As a home bartender, I felt like I was making good drinks and only used what I had on hand to make those drinks (tools included), but little did I know the way to serve is far more complex. I want to do this as a career but didn't have any experience to get behind the bar. I knew that, in today's society, you need that experience and confidence to apply for jobs. After taking this course and the mixology certification course, I can officially say that I am way more confident in applying for jobs. In fact, I just had an interview. None of that would've been possible if it weren't for this course. Worth every penny. Can't wait to see what other courses will be offered in the future.

Thank you so much for leaving such a positive review of our Bar Basics Course. We are thrilled to hear that it has helped you gain confidence and knowledge in the world of bartending. We are honored to have been a part of your journey and are excited to see where your new skills will take you. Keep an eye out for future courses, and we wish you all the best in your bartending career! Cheers!

Sturdy & Professional

Love this strainer. It is solid and feels good in the hand. Capacity is good and it makes clear drinks. Also easy to clean (I hand wash but it claims to be dishwasher safe as well).

Thank you, Erik! We hope it continues to meet your expectations and make your drink-making experience a breeze.

Love this set

Really impressed with these items!!

Thanks Michael! Happy mixing

Semi pleased

So I bought some weighted shakers a jigger some spoons and hawthorn strainers for my new job that requires bartenders have their own set of tools and I was happy with everything except the hawthorn strainers. The springs keep coming out and it makes it very difficult to work with when I’m in a middle of a rush. I work at a very busy bar in the downtown area of a major city and so I expected the things I ordered to work properly especially given that this is what I use to make my livelihood.

Hi Armando, it appears you may have received a defective strainer! We would be happy to send you a replacement to see if that resolves the issue.

Wonderful product

The glass is seamless and well crafted. I will definitely purchase more products from a bar above

Thank you! We're glad to hear that you are impressed with the quality of our product. Happy Mixing!

Amazing

We love our stainless steel citrus juicer! Works great with lemons and limes alike. Can’t wait to try it with small oranges! This website was the only place we could find a stainless steel juicer. It was much more expensive than the aluminum amalgam juicers in the grocery store but worth the investment.

Hi Flory, thank you for your amazing review! We are happy to provide you with a high-quality stainless steel juicer, as we believe it is worth the investment. Happy juicing!

Great Course for N/A cocktails!

This is a great course if you want to dive into the N/A spirits and cocktails world :)

Very nice

High quality shaker, we’ve been making endless espresso martinis with it.

Thank you for your kind review! We're happy to hear that our stainless steel Boston shaker has been a hit for your espresso martinis. Cheers!

The black Boston Shaker has upped my cocktail game significantly. It’s easy to figure out, and all the accessories make for some mighty fine drinks. So glad I bought this!

Bar Mat

It works well! I don’t have a permanent bar set up (yet) so this mat helps keep the wifey’s kitchen counter clean (those crazy bitter and cherry juice stains!)

1/2 way review

Lots of good information. Only wish the quizzes would review if a question was missed rather that retaking the quiz
