Two Counter Heights for Standing and Sitting: Thirty Difference

A bar counter divided into two levels. The guest side of the counter is 110 cm high, paired with high stools, allowing elbows to rest naturally; the bartender's workstation on the other side is 30 cm lower, at around 80 cm, so guests cannot see the cluttered tools, ice buckets, and rags on the workstation, only the bartender's upper body and hand movements. There is a thick counter edge between the two levels. Avoid: making both sides the same height, allowing guests to see all clutter on the workstation, making the workstation too low to see movements, omitting the counter edge to allow full visual transparency between the two sides.

一道分成兩層的吧台。客人這一側的檯面高一百一十公分,配高凳,手肘可以自然靠上去;調酒師那一側的工作面低三十公分,在八十公分左右,因此客人看不到工作面上雜亂的器具、冰桶與抹布,只看得到調酒師的上半身與手部動作。兩道檯之間有一道厚實的檯緣。避免:把兩側做成同一個高度、讓客人看得到工作面上的所有雜物、把工作面做得太低看不到動作、省略檯緣讓兩側視線完全通透。
