Amazon.com Review
Every home bartender needs a set like this one. Completely made of stainless steel, the elegantly designed set includes a brushed-finish ice bucket that holds one quart of ice, along with a polished stand that keeps six bartending tools at the ready. The tools consist of a pair of toothy tongs, stirring rod, bottle opener, cocktail whisk, bar knife, and double jigger. The last four utensils all have cylindrically shaped, weighted handles that provide good balance for the tasks at hand. The stirrer and stand feature unique fan-like handles. To preserve the luster of the steel, the barware set should be washed by hand. --Ann Bieri

It includes everything you need to make any order that comes your way--from a classic lemondrop martini to a tropical mai tai. The set features a stainless steel bottle opener, pair of tongs, cocktail whisk, stirring stick, bar knife, and double jigger with handle. The long, brushed stainless steel handles are easily grasped and are a bit heavy for good balance. The stainless steel stand can be easily carried via a playfully designed handle. Hand washing is recommended.

4 out of 5 stars Cute Bar Set   June 4, 2008
This bar set has all the basic things that you need. It's not overly fancy, but is pretty. I'm happy with the purchase and my friends have gotten the same one.


2 out of 5 stars Do NOT buy as a gift!   April 12, 2008

I should have read the reviews before buying it because someone else does mention it, but it does not come in a normal package, a package that I would expect to give someone as a gift. It comes in a cardboard box with every utensil attached to a cardboard square with a billion twisty ties. Now I have to keep it and buy the cocktail shaker that it doesn't come with it.


3 out of 5 stars Building a Better Barware Set, D.B. Style!   March 12, 2008

The folks at Pinzon have a good product here. Now if they wanted a FANFREAKINTASTIC product they could try these upgrades. The key word of the day is ERGONOMICS. It should be applied to EVERY item in the set. With that in mind, here goes. The ICE BUCKET SHOULD BE INSULATED W/ A SECURE, SEALED TOP. Hell, if the Polar Cap is melting what chance does ice in an open bucket have ? Hey, maybe insulation is a cure for Global Warming. Uh, We'll tackle that topic some other time. Next, the KNIFE SHOULD ACTUALLY HAVE A SHARP EDGE. Mercy on the souls of the fruit I butchered using that glorified butter knife ! Finally, throw in a matching, insulated COCKTAIL SHAKER and you've created a Better Barware Set D.B. style. BTW, The folks at Pinzon may contact me regarding any generous financial consideration for this and any future ideas for their products. ;-)

3 out of 5 stars Decent set, nothing spectacular and does not come with a cocktail shaker.   January 29, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This set was ok for the $15 I paid for it. The stainless steel look is nice for the bar. The stainless steel is heavy enough not to look cheap, but having bought other Pinzon items I was expecting even better quality. I've bought a similar set from other retailers for $10-15 as gift but without the bucket. The included bucket is the size of a big tumbler (or 1/2 G icecream carton), so it's not very useful. It's designed more like a holder for the bar utensils than a real ice bucket.

The jigger and the bottle opener are nice and heavy. The included knife seems pretty useless as it's not really designed to cut anything. The tongs are light, I've seen better ones but do the job fine. The strainer and shaker are ok too, nothing spectacular about them.

You can hook a little strip over the bucket and store all the items in the slots. This item looks nice on the bar, but on second thoughts I should have given it away as a gift rather than keeping it for myself, as I'll only use a couple of the items in it. Be aware that the item does not come in gift packaging. It has no fancy box just the plain carton, which was one of the reasons I ended up keeping it for myself.



5 out of 5 stars Very nice barware set   January 4, 2008
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

This barware set came in a very well-protected box, keeping the items in great shape. In fact, I got out the wire cutters to snip all of the heavy-duty twist ties keeping the pieces in place.

They washed up great, look very nice in the ice bucket/container, and are clearly very well made. There is a nice heft to the pieces and you can tell they will last a long time. I'm very pleased with the purchase and think this would make a nice addition to any bar, as a gift or to keep for yourself.
