In the professional world of glass and barware, excellence in standards and presentation is key. Established in 1980 by Richard Andrews, formerly a buyer for London stores Liberty and Heal’s, the original business supplying branded glassware and barware evolved and was joined by Richard’s son Nick in 1995.

 Having built expertise in the B2B, hospitality and retail sectors,  in 2001 they created Urban Bar as a specialist product development company. Drawing on the depth of industry knowledge UB is still driven by an appreciation for considered design, quality and performance. Our brand has elevated the tools of the trade, setting enduring quality standards for bar professionals and the drinks industry.

At the heart of Urban Bar is our unwavering passion for quality products to help deliver the best drinks service and create that moment. Richard's passion and vision for offering the very best laid the foundation for the company that what would become a respected partner to the spirits and hospitality industries. Today, although Richard maintains a helpful hand in our development, the business is run by Richard's son, Nick Andrews.

As our business grew, so did our offering. Today, we are more than just a provider of exceptional glass and barware; we are a one-stop shop. Our services include bespoke design and product branding, from design to production, where we serve as a creative partner for distillers, restaurants, bars, and individuals alike.
