What Bespoke and Branding Services Does Urban Bar UK Offer?
Updated
Urban Bar UK offers four main bespoke and branding services for drinks brands and hospitality businesses: bespoke branded glass and barware products (including packaging), a design studio for custom or client-led designs, engraving for personalisation, and point-of-sale (POS) materials. These services are aimed at spirits and drinks brands, hospitality operators of all sizes, and — for some services such as engraving — individual consumers. Urban Bar states it has been designing bar and glassware for the drinks industry and hospitality for 40 years, and that it designs, develops, produces and decorates glassware for leading spirits and drinks brands.
The four bespoke and branding services
1. Bespoke and branded products for brands
Urban Bar's "For Brands" service covers bespoke branded glass and barware products, with packaging options included. According to the site, the goal is to help a brand "create the perfect serve" and stand out with a bespoke or branded product. This is the service to choose if you want a custom glass or barware item carrying your brand identity, rather than a stock product with a logo added.
2. Design studio support
The Studio service lets Urban Bar's design team suggest a unique glass or barware design, or turn your own vision into a finished product. In practice this means two routes:
- Studio-led: you describe the concept or occasion, and the studio proposes a design.
- Client-led: you bring your own design, and the studio helps realise it.
This is the entry point for a fully bespoke shape rather than decoration of an existing product.
3. Engraving
Engraving is offered as a personalisation option, described as "extensive." This is the most accessible customisation route — suitable for personal gifts as well as branded items — because it works on existing products rather than requiring a new design.
4. Point-of-sale (POS) materials
Urban Bar also produces POS materials alongside glass and barware, so a branded serve can be supported at the point of purchase or in-venue, not just on the glass itself.
Which service fits which need
| Your goal | Service to use |
|---|---|
| Custom glass/barware shape for a spirits brand | Studio (bespoke design) |
| Existing product with your logo or branding | For Brands (branded products) |
| Branded items that need custom packaging | For Brands (packaging options) |
| Personalised gift or small-run customisation | Engraving |
| In-venue or retail display materials | POS materials |
Who these services are for
Urban Bar describes itself as an international glass and barware provider serving famous-name brands and hospitality businesses of all sizes, and now also selling directly to consumers. The bespoke and branding services are primarily built around the B2B side — spirits and drinks brands and the hospitality trade — while engraving and gift cards extend to individual buyers.
For hospitality businesses specifically, Urban Bar offers a trade account, which it says unlocks benefits created for the hospitality industry. If you are buying for a venue rather than as a brand, that trade route is the relevant starting point.
What is not stated
The source material does not list minimum order quantities, lead times, pricing for bespoke work, or the specific decoration techniques available beyond engraving. For those details you would need to contact Urban Bar directly through the relevant service page (For Brands, Studio, or Engraving).
