The Rock Medium plastic tumblers in two lines
The Rock Medium plastic tumblers by The Bars are 270ml rocks glasses in clear SAN, with faceted walls. They are sold by the piece, so you buy as many as you need, including to replace the ones that have gone missing.
An unbreakable tumbler is for the places where glass cannot stay: poolside, on the beach, on terraces, at concerts and at outdoor receptions.
Who the plastic tumblers are for
For the bar with a pool or an outdoor terrace. A glass that breaks at the edge of the pool means draining the pool or closing the area until the last shard is found. With unbreakable plastic tumblers, service goes on even when one is dropped.
For caterers and event agencies. At outdoor receptions, festivals and private parties the tumbler passes from hand to hand and ends up on the grass, on the steps, on the lawn. SAN takes the fall, and the drink reaches the guest in a rigid, clear tumbler instead of a disposable cup.
For the venue with new staff behind the bar, when the bar is full of customers and glasses move fast between the wash and the service: a rocks glass that slips from the hand does not turn into broken glass in the ice well.
What to serve in it
At 270ml the Rock Medium is the everyday low tumbler: Negroni, Americano, Old Fashioned on the rocks, spirits over ice, alcohol-free drinks and soft drinks. It is the size that takes the place of the glass tumbler when the drink leaves the bar and heads for the pool or the lawn.
The faceted shape gives the hand a grip even when the tumbler is wet with condensation, and it keeps the look of the classic rocks glass: the guest recognises a cocktail glass, not a birthday party cup.
By the piece, not by the pack
The Rock Medium plastic tumblers are bought one at a time. A venue opening for the summer season buys the full stock; one that only needs to replace the tumblers that went missing over the summer buys ten, with no carton to finish.
How many plastic tumblers to order
Count three rounds: the tumblers in the guests’ hands, the ones in the wash and the ones ready on the bar. For a 40-seat terrace that means starting from about 120 pieces, so service never stops to wait for the wash to finish. For events, count the guests and add a share for the tumblers that stay on the tables until the end of the evening.
SAN, glass and polycarbonate
SAN (styrene acrylonitrile) is a rigid, clear plastic, one of the materials used for unbreakable glasses. It is often chosen over polycarbonate because it is just as clear and does not contain bisphenol A. Compared with glass it weighs less and does not chip; compared with single-use plastic it is a tumbler to wash and reuse, which over a season costs less than a thousand cups thrown away.
