Materials & Layouts That Work

  • Frosted acrylic: Matte look, high readability in bar lighting.
  • Wood panels: Rustic charm; white lettering pops against dark stain.
  • Painted back layers: Add brand colors and boost contrast on acrylic.

Typography & Readability

  • Headline for “Signature Cocktails” + smaller ingredients in a clean sans-serif.
  • Use high contrast (white on dark wood, charcoal on frosted).
  • Limit to two fonts; track all-caps subheads for air.

Suggested Sizes

  • 8×10 or 11×14: Bar-top drink lists and menus.
  • 16×20: Large, multi-drink menus or food stations.

Coordinate the Bar Suite

Carry the look across custom wine labels, water bottle labels, and matching signage for a polished, branded experience.

Display Ideas

  • Use small easels or standoffs; avoid glare with frosted acrylic.
  • Add bud vases or a greenery sprig—keep text areas clear.
  • Backlight shelves? Test legibility from 6–8 feet.
