Selecting the Best Modular Bar to Suit Your Needs

Six Modular Bar Series, One Question: What Length and Configuration Does This Booking Need?

Chivari's modular bar lineup runs from a 22-foot single station to a 50-foot service line built for high-volume events. Each series is named, sized, and configured differently, and the fastest way to pick the right one is to compare them by two numbers: total length and piece count. Fewer pieces generally means faster setup with a smaller crew. More pieces means a longer run or a more complex curved footprint.

Here's every modular bar series in the current lineup, in ascending length order, with the specs a fleet manager actually needs before placing an order.

Spritz — 22 Feet, 5-Piece Set

The 22' Spritz Modular Bar (5-Piece, Reversible Front) is the shortest configuration in the lineup.

• Length: 22 feet
• Pieces: 5
• Front: Reversible panel — switches look between bookings without owning two bars

Best for: a single compact station where the look needs to flip between a casual daytime event and an evening reception.

Mimosa — 24 Feet, 5-Piece Set

The 24' Mimosa Modular Bar (5-Piece, Three Panel Front) is the compact entry point just above Spritz, with a three-panel face rather than a reversible one.

• Length: 24 feet
• Pieces: 5
• Front: Three-panel face

Best for: an entry-level modular booking that still wants a three-panel face instead of a single reversible front.

Manhattan — 28 Feet, 4-Piece Set

The 28' Manhattan Modular Bar (4-Piece, Single Panel Front) covers more length with fewer pieces than any other series in the lineup — four sections build the full run.

• Length: 28 feet
• Pieces: 4 (fewer, larger sections)
• Front: Single panel, continuous counter look

Best for: a small crew that needs a long, clean run without managing extra connection points.

Martini — 32 Feet, 7-Piece Set

The 32' Martini Modular Bar (7-Piece, Mixed Curved/Straight Layout) is the lineup's only mixed-geometry set, combining straight and curved sections in one run.

• Length: 32 feet
• Pieces: 7 (2 serpentine, 2 rectangle, plus posts)
• Layout: Mixed curved and straight

Best for: a floor plan that needs one straight run and one curved section without booking two separate bars.

Margarita — 34 Feet, 7-Piece Set

The 34' Margarita Modular Bar (7-Piece, Fully Curved) is the fully curved option in the lineup — four serpentine bars and three posts, for a rounded footprint rather than a straight or mixed run.

• Length: 34 feet
• Pieces: 7 (4 serpentine bars, 3 posts)
• Layout: Fully curved

Best for: a venue or floor plan built around a rounded bar footprint rather than straight lines.

Long Island — 50 Feet, 11-Piece Set

The 50' Long Island Modular Bar (11-Piece) is the longest configuration in the lineup, built for the high-volume events where one long service line beats multiple smaller stations.

• Length: 50 feet
• Pieces: 11
• Front: Three-panel, built for high-volume service

Best for: the highest-volume bookings, where guest count calls for one long line instead of splitting service across stations.

Picking a Modular Bar Series by the Numbers

If you're stocking a fleet rather than buying for one event, piece count matters as much as length. Manhattan delivers 28 feet from just 4 pieces — the fewest pieces per foot in the lineup, which means faster setup and fewer parts to inventory. Long Island's 11 pieces cover the most ground at 50 feet but ask for more storage and more hands on load-in.

Piece count isn't only a setup-speed question — it's a storage math question too. A fleet stocking Long Island's 11-piece, 50-foot set is committing more square footage per bar than a fleet running two Manhattan sets at 28 feet apiece, even though the total footage served is comparable. If your bookings run more toward multiple mid-size stations than one continuous 50-foot line, doubling up on a shorter series can outperform a single long one on both storage efficiency and crew flexibility, since two shorter sets can be split across two simultaneous bookings while one long set can't.

Booking type should decide the call as much as raw length. A single-station wedding with one bar and one crew doesn't need Long Island's scale, and a 400-guest gala with three simultaneous pour points doesn't get served well by Spritz's 22 feet no matter how many units you rent. Match the series to how the floor plan is actually going to be staffed and poured, not just to the total linear footage the room can technically fit.

Spritz and Mimosa sit at the compact end for single-station bookings. Martini and Margarita are the curved options, with Martini mixing straight and curved sections and Margarita going fully curved. Six series, six different answers to the same question: how long does the bar need to be, and how many pieces do you want to carry to get there.
