Grothouse Wood Elephant Bar Top
Grothouse offers two distinct bar molding styles. The bar molding style you choose should take cues from the design of the space. Traditional bars have Chicago Bar Rail, designed to provide a place for guests to rest their arms. Chicago Bar Rail also helps avoid spilled drinks from falling into guests laps or onto the floor. Grothouse crafts the Chicago Bar Rail of the same wood specie as the bar surface to ensure a uniform look.
