Pub Tables

Pub tables are great options for an eating surface in a rec room or man cave when you want something small and “manly.”  However, pub table furniture also goes great near a pool table or as a standalone piece for that matter anywhere else throughout your house.

Characteristics of Pub Tables

The major characteristic that you have to consider when buying a pub table is the height you need.  They are generally taller than dining tables, designed to accommodate bar and counter stools.  Most pub tables will range anywhere from 35 to 42 inches in height.

Legs - another major characteristic, you have to design how many legs you want to have.  Stability wise, the common four-peg pub table is better, but the increasingly popular single pedestal peg isn’t terrible.  If you have kids, you might want to stick with the four-pegs.

Shape - Typical pub table shapes include round or oval.  While less often, square and rectangular ones are also available to you — however, the edges make them less than ideal if you drink around it often.

Once you decide on the different characteristics you want to have in your new pub table, you know must decide what kind you want.  The types of pub tables can include:

Wooden - Wooden pub table sets are by far the most classic option available to you.  They provide a traditional style and look to the room they’re in, often apart of a classy-designed room.  When you think wooden pub tables, you think small, classic Inns and pubs.

Iron/Metal - Iron and metal pub tables can come in both comtemporary, as well as traditional designs.  The iron pub tables, for example, can come with curved legs, providing a somewhat “gothic” feeling.

Glass - Glass pub tables can be very high maintenance as they require an appointment with a bottle of Windex after almost every use.  Additionally, they’re not very kid (or drunk) friendly like their counterparts.

Colors/Logos - Regardless of the texture of your table, you can also get pub table furniture branded with a sport team’s logo and in almost any color.  You can buy black pub tables, white pub tables, pub tables with NCAA logos, etc. The choices are limitless.

When purchasing pub table sets that combine both pub tables with chairs, do the smart thing:  buy at the same time and from the same manufacturer.  You don’t want to “mix and match.”  Even though you may want to buy them separately as the pub tables and pub table chairs may look similar, once you get them home small differences in details and designs may start to appear.
