We, adults, love spending our days off/weekends, celebrating a new milestone in life, or simply washing away problems inside bars, right? Well, it is one of our favorite recreational activities after all. Nothing a good drink can’t solve! For that reason, you would seldom see a bar without guests. With customers filling the place, alcohol spills and accidents cannot be avoided. Maintaining a clean and sanitized bar is important to imprint positive impressions and memories on your guests.
No one will enjoy themselves in a bar that still has yesterday’s scum on it, right? For the average bar patron, sticky tables, wet floors, and bad odors can be off-putting. It may be difficult to keep the whole place clean and sanitized the whole time, but it isn’t impossible! Use this checklist to maintain your bar throughout opening, closing, and even normal cleaning to keep it in top condition and keep the beer flowing.

It can be a hassle to open your bar in the morning. Even if it was closed properly the previous evening, there are probably a lot of tedious small things that need to be attended to. It’s crucial to finish your checklist as swiftly and effectively as you can because you have a full day ahead of you. Here are bar opening cleaning procedures you might want to do before starting your business hours.
You might be shocked at how many cigarette butts, alcohol bottles, or even vomit are around the area. Make sure to take care of them first before moving on to the inside of the bar because people tend to forget to clean what they don’t often see.
It is essential and not a waste of time because you can’t blame a tired employee for making one or two mistakes during peak hours or during closing time procedures. Smudges or streaks sometimes can’t be avoided. That’s why ensuring your drinkware and plates are free of them before starting operation is important. You don’t want them making your food or drink look dull.
A little more sweeping/vacuuming and mopping before opening time is never too much. On the contrary, it would make your floors welcome your excited guests with an extra sparkly shine.
Allow the solution to air dry before putting anything on top of them.
You might also want to check each condiment’s expiry date while you’re at it. We don’t want you using expired products on your customers’ food and beverage.
We suggest you use a squirt bottle with warm water to remove the buildup. You can also try opening the tap and letting it run for a few seconds.
This would allow you to notice any clogs or issues before starting the day and makes you avoid all the hassle during the shift. It’s also a great way of maintaining issue-free drains.
Busy nights make it nearly impossible to check if the beer you’re serving is still good to go. That’s why doing it before the day starts is the best way to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The serving area isn’t the only thing you should worry about since you also have to ensure that your guests get to use other facilities as well, like your bathroom. Taking out the trash and putting in new plastic bags would leave a positive impression.
This way you don’t have to go to and fro just to fetch a fresh towel every time there’s a spill near you.
It’s possible that the prior shift had a busy night and needed more time to organize the liquor display appropriately. The organization of the liquor display is crucial not only for aesthetic reasons but also for maintaining the quality and standards of your bar, which is part of cleaning.
Every night is an exciting time at a bar, and the aftermath can attest to that. It is during the closing time that you’d get to clearly see how much fun your guests had. Spilled drinks, food crumbs, and more could linger on the floors, countertops, and stools. Making cleanup during closing time arduous. Here’s a simple bar-closing cleaning checklist to make things manageable for you.
