Bar Top Options

You can choose from three bar top options. Square, Curve, and Wrap.

Square Tops are best used when either space is a big issue since these tops only extend slightly beyond the bar’s frame. Multiple bars with square tops can be pushed together to create one long straight bar.

Curve Tops provide a unique look and add additional bar top space. They’re also used to create larger circular or curved bars. Both the square and curved bar tops are the same depth and can be pushed together to form one seamless looking top.

Wrap Bar Tops are the best way to maximize your usable bar top area and they provide a high-end look to the Entertainer 48″ bar.

Slide Out Storage

Each bar includes the left slide out shelf with an ice bin.

Bar Options & Accessories

Why are these options extra? To save you money, of course. Not everyone needs these options and since all of our products are made to order, we feel it’s better to make them optional rather than increasing the base price.

Speed Rail

The stainless steel speed rail for the 48 bar is 22″, folds into the bar seamlessly and does not need to be removed although can be if required.

Ice Bin

Choose this option if you want an ice bin to be in the prep area. This will be in addition to the ice bin you receive for the slide out under bar storage.
When choosing the ice bin option, one of the three prep area panels will have a hole cut into it for the ice bin to fit in to. If you won’t be using the ice bin for every event, we recommend purchasing an additional prep panel to switch with the ice bin panel..
Ice bin capacity: 5 gallons

Protective Cover

All of our protective covers are made out of waterproof polyester canvas and include two nylon straps to hold your bar top during transport.

Removable Front & Side Panels

Fixed Panels
The standard way panels are installed on our portable bars. Panels are attached semi-permanently to the frame with strong adhesive tape. Fixed panels can be removed but requires re-applying the adhesive each time.
Removable / Interchangeable Panels
Attached with 3M Dual Lock connectors (strong plastic velcro) and can be easily removed to be swapped out with different panels.
This option does not include additional panels. These are sold separately.

When to choose Interchangeable Panels
If you purchase, or plan to purchase in the future, additional bar panels with different graphics to swap out on a regular basis, you will want interchangeable panels.

Battery Power

All of our bars come standard with a plug-in adapter regardless of selecting the battery power option.

Batteries for bars are not permanently built into the bar so they can be removed for charging elsewhere or swapped out with a different battery. This also means you can add a battery later if needed.

Resources & Answers

Got questions? We’ve got answers.


Battery Power


  • How Long will the Battery Last?

    “How long will the battery last?” and the answer to that question is, That’s a good question! This is because we offer a huge amount of products and each one uses a different amount of LED lighting which affects the battery life.


    There are many other variables that will determine battery life as well. Primarily what color the LED lighting is set to. This is because different color LEDs use different amounts of power.

    Which colors draw the most power?

    • White
    • Green
    • Blue
    • Red

    White draws the most power because, in order to create white, it uses every color (RGB). So, in general, White will drain your battery 3x faster than Solid Red, Solid Green, or Solid Blue. Mixed colors (purple, cyan, yellow), as well as color changing modes, will vary the battery life depending on which colors are used. Solid colors, mixed colors, and color changing modes will always last longer than white.

  • Example Battery Life Times

    MINI BAR

    WHITE  LED LIGHT / 5 HOURS

    Color Changing (7 Color Fade) / 10 HOURS

    ENTERTAINER BAR

    WHITE LED LIGHT /4 HOURS

    Color Changing (7 Color Fade) / 9 HOURS

  • How to increase/conserve battery life

    The best way to extend battery life is dim the lighting. This is especially effective for products with a lot of LED lighting. Just by dimming the lighting one level, it reduces the power draw.

    Always recharge your battery after each extended use, especially if you drain it completely.

    Buy a bigger battery. – The battery we sell is 12ah but these batteries are available as high as 96ah. Keep in mind you will need to make sure you have enough space for a larger battery and the terminals for these larger batteries may not be compatible with the cord we provide.


  • Battery Specs

    Our batteries are 12v 12ah Sealed Lead Acid. Essentially motorcycle batteries.

    Weight: 8lbs

    Dimensions: 6″ x 4″ x 4″

    They are available at any battery store like Batteries Plus.

    Because we get large discounts and do not mark up batteries, it is actually cheaper to buy these batteries from us than most stores.


LED Lighting


  • How Graphics React to LED Lighting

    One of the most common questions we get when it comes to our portable bars is “What will my logo look like when its lighted?” It’s a good question but one that is hard to answer because everyone’s graphic is different and can vary wildly depending on the colors in the logo itself and the color of the LED lighting.

  • Color Lighting & Color Changing Modes

    The drawback of using colors with printed graphics is that it won’t look like the original artwork. However, this can actually be a feature as well. Because different colors of ink react differently to different color lighting, it can produce some very cool effects with very colorful graphics. In some case with higher speed color changing modes, it can actually give the illusion that the details of the graphic are moving. The best example of we have of this can be seen in the video below.

Bar LED Light Changing Example


Other FAQ's


  • Where are your bars made?

    Like all of our products, the portable bars are made in AMERICA . They ship direct to our clients from North Carolina factory where they are made per our clients specs.

    SHOWOFFS is doing our part in BUY AMERICAN!


  • What is the lead time?

    All bars are custom made and built to order specifically for you. This means that leads times will vary depending on our current workload.

    It can as little as one week or as long as one month. We recommend you contact us for current factory lead time estimates.

  • Can these mobile bars be used outside?

    Yes and no. They can be used outside on a temporary basis and will not be irreparably damaged by a storm crashing your show or event. However, they should not be left outside uncovered long term.

    The protective covers are water resistant so if you plan on using your portable bar outside, we recommend ordering a cover to keep it protected when it’s not being used.

  • Can portable bars be battery operated?

    Yes. Battery life will vary greatly depending on the size of the bar and the color of LED lighting you’re using. We recommend purchasing two batteries for longer events. Find out more about battery life in above resource information

  • Are your portable bars NSF rated?

    The bars themselves are not. However, the prep counter is made of HDPE cutting board material which is NSF rated.

  • Is the stainless steel speed rail removable?

    Yes but it folds into the bar so there is no need to remove it unless you don’t plan on using it any longer.

  • What happens if I break an acrylic panel?

    All of the acrylic panels are removable and can be replaced if needed.

  • Are the cutting boards dishwasher safe?

    No. Although the cutting boards/prep panels are chemically resistant, they may warp due to the heat of a dishwasher.

WHAT TO KNOW WHEN SUBMITTING YOUR GRAPHICS

Branding & Graphics

Why our graphics are different

Our graphics are not stickers. Our graphics are permanently printed directly onto the removable acrylic panels which means they are more durable and will never peel off over time. This printing process gives us much more flexibility with your graphics since we don't need to apply vinyl decals to the entire surface of the bar panels even for logos that don't cover the entire area.

Printing directly on the surface also produces a much more desirable effect when backlit and since all of our portable bars include LED lighting, we feel this is really important. Bars with a lot of color can produce very cool effects when the LED lighting changes colors.

Grayscale (black and white) graphics also look great when backlit with different colors.

Another big advantage of direct print technology is that it can completely block out the LED lighting with the graphic and leave only certain portions of your graphics lit up which will make them pop even more. This is something that isn't possible with traditional vinyl graphics.

Sending your graphics & requirements

The printers used are capable of printing very high resolution and the higher quality your graphics are the higher quality the end product will be. For simple logos we prefer graphics be in vector format when possible. This is because vector graphics can be stretched infinitely without loss of quality. These formats are usually in .AI, .EPS, or .PDF form. Full image graphics should be as high resolution as possible.

Please do not send us extremely low-quality images for your portable bar graphics. If you don't have the high-resolution version of your graphics handy please try to find them before submitting them for your order.

These two examples of our logo (low)(high) illustrate the difference between low quality and high-quality graphics.

Slide center bar for Low & High Res Example

What to do if you don't have high-resolution graphics

Not all is lost! If you've done everything you can to find the highest resolution version or original artwork but can't, shoot them over to us anyway and we'll do what we can to make them work. Many companies will charge a fee for not submitting print ready artwork. We are not one of those companies.

As with all our other products and displays SHOWOFFS has always worked with clients in designing and creating the Best SHOWOFF Look possible!

Creating graphics specifically for mobile bars

These are a few tips if you or your graphic designer are creating graphics specifically for our portable bars.

Artwork should be in RGB color mode. Not CMYK

All blacks and black backgrounds should be RGB 0,0,0. Anything less will allow lighting to bleed through the image

All images outside the acrylic panel outline should be cropped to the correct size or hidden with a clipping mask

If your graphics are too large to be sent via email be sure to contact us for our DROPBOX information.

We can provide a graphic template to your or your designer if you will be doing the artwork yourself.

All orders do get a final proof and simulated rendering of the bar graphics for final approvals.

What to do if you don't have graphics at all

No problem! Contact us and we'll help you put something together. (within reason)

We also offer free, high resolution, stock graphics with every bar purchase.

Keep in mind that images without white backgrounds need to be close to the Length x Height ratios of our bar panels. For example, an image will work on the 4FT Bar but it won't work on the Mini bar.

Showoffs will advise you on a great look!
