A cast-in-place concrete bartop is the focal point of this steakhouse bar. The final outcome is a continuous rectangular bar that is 33’ long by 10’ wide. On the outside, it has a custom 2 ½” half round bull nose that extends the full 86’ perimeter. The inside edge has 24’ of custom fabricated 1” x 4” stainless drink rails embedded into the concrete. Forming this countertop took two days. The concrete was placed and finished with a hard trowel. After curing the surface was stained with various colors and techniques to give it the final finish. The sealer is epoxy with a urethane topcoat.

This countertop has a hand-toweled finish.
