Question: What is the Optimal Bar Top Height? Answer: The most common height for a bar top, whether it is a kitchen breakfast bar, a basement wet bar, or your commercial bar down at the corner pub is 42-inches. Standard conventions support the 42-inch bar height. Most premade back splashes are 4 to 6-inches tall. When that is added to the standard counter top height it allows the back splash to slip underneath the overhang of the finished bar top for a smooth transition. 42-inches is the optimal and most ergonomic height for a top that services both the seated and standing user. With a bar stool of the proper height, it is comfortable to sit at a 42-inch bar. It is also a comfortable height for most people to lean against.
