1. Pub Tables for Small Kitchens

If you have a small kitchen, a pub table will be a big space-saver for you! These high table tops can seat 2, 3, 4 or more people, depending on the size you get. They typically come in square, rectangular and circular sizes.

A pub table, being that it’s higher than a dining table, will give the kitchen a multi-dimensional look. Here are some examples:

2. Pub Tables in Game Rooms & Near Billiard Tables

Often times, you’ll see a pub table in a game room next to a pool/billiard table. They’re brilliant for overseeing the game as they’re higher than the table. Here are some inspiring examples:

This next example is really clever. Note the four stools against the wall with a pub table in the middle of the two and a pub table on both side. This ensures each guest gets their own table and all four chairs are facing the action.

3. Pub Tables in Wine Cellars

So, you love wine. And you probably like to sit and chat while drinking wine, right? So turn your wine cellar into THE spot in your house! Take a look at how these designers turned the wine cellar into more than just, well, a wine cellar:

Don’t have much room in your wine cellar? A simple pub table is just fine without seating, as it allows guests to stand around the table and mingle for a bit.

4. Pub Tables Provide a Superb View

Are you blessed with a breathtaking view? If so, a pub table is a sure win! It’ll bring you up a little higher and make you feel on top of the world. Plus, these make for a romantic evening after the sun goes down.
