Interesting Bar Facts ….

We are often asked when & why Bar Stools became Popular in America. Prior to National Prohibition, Bar Stools were almost unheard of.  Men stood & drank at the Bar & occasionally shifted their weight by resting their feet on the "Brass Rail" at the foot of the Bar, Women...(Outside of Employees).... were not usually welcome or allowed in Saloons, Bars or Taverns & if they were, they  had to use a "Ladies Entrance & were consigned to tables in their own room, away from  the Main Bar. Prohibition Changed All That. It was the Great Equalizer. Women were welcome on an Equal Basis in "Speakeasies" throughout the Land &  Bar Stools were provided for their ease & comfort. Bar Stools became standard after Prohibition & the rest is History.
