Bar height tables aren't your average table. The differences are visually obvious: they're very high and much smaller than the dining tables you are likely accustomed to. Because the table tops are so small, meals using dinner plates and salad bowls are out; they won't be able to fit if you have more than one person sitting at the table!
This smaller table top size makes them more conducive to an informal setting where good conversation among a small group of people is the main course on the menu. This is why bar height tables are mainly used in bars. Bars are social places where people visit, have a light snack and some drinks; they're not where people eat main courses.

Additionally, the higher placement of bar height tables takes them out of the running for dining tables. When people are sitting down to a hearty meal, they usually want to relax and enjoy while they're eating. Bar height tables are considered dining tables on the fly, where people can visit, grab a quick snack, and go.
And where these people go depends upon what they have - or had - planned for the night. Many who frequent establishments with bar tables are waiting for their names to be called at a fancy restaurant, or they're having a quick night cap after a dinner and show. Some are hopping amongst the various bar tables, chatting with friends and acquaintances. Perhaps they'll even make new friends along the way.
This get up and go type of socializing is made for bar height tables. People can easily walk up to these types of tables and talk without needing a chair because of the higher placement. A couple people may be "parked" on a chair at these bar dining tables, while just as many can be seen standing around and joining in on the continuing conversations.
If you're thinking of putting a bar in your house, bar height tables will announce to your guests the type of room it is. They're not only functional and aid in creating a relaxed atmosphere, they're also stylish. Such bar tables seem to be a universal piece of furniture for an informal evening of active socializing.
Many people who have a bar in their home not only have bar height tables, but they usually have an entertainment area where people can sit comfortably on other furniture that is placed around a large television screen. This is appealing to those who want to just talk and to those who want to come together to watch a sporting or other event on TV.
Conversely, bar height tables are not something you'd want to place into your family dining room. True, the children will probably enjoy the novelty of sitting at a high table on higher chairs, but soon they'll tire of it because the table is too high for them. Plus, you'll soon tire of having them on your lap.
Bar tables come in many different styles to choose from, so don't think you're locked in to just one or two standard styles of bar dining tables. There are a variety of solid wood top finishes to choose from, with most bar tables sitting atop hard metal frames. These hard frames stand up to years of use, which is an important consideration when purchasing furniture.
Some bar height tables have glass tops, which show off their pretty wrought iron frames. Many of these designs feature beautiful scrolled metals, often in iron, that bring a touch of elegance to your bar decor.
Whatever bar height tables you choose to belly up to the bar with, you'll know that the table you're sitting or standing at is made especially for the type of socializing you have in mind. Relax, enjoy, and make new friends while in this party atmosphere.
