11 Must-Have Quirky Bar Accessories for Restaurants and Lounges
1. Stylish serving platter
Who says snacks can’t serve looks?
A stylish serving platter instantly enhances the presentation, making even the simplest appetisers look gourmet.
It’s like setting the stage for your food to perform. When guests reach for their phones before their forks, you know you've nailed it.
2. Dip bowls
Dips are always a hit, but dip bowls shaped like mini chairs, barrels, or trucks?
Even better.
Our playful dip bowls add a sense of delight to your spread, making classics like guacamole or salsa feel fresh and unexpected. It’s a small detail that creates a lasting impression.
3. Wooden serving tray
A rustic wooden serving tray brings warmth to your bar setup. It’s perfect for serving cocktails, small bites, or even bills with style.
Wooden trays are durable and easy to handle, making service smoother and more elegant. Wooden trays contrast beautifully with glass and metal, offering a natural touch that softens the often-cold look of barware.
4. Fancy ashtrays
If your lounge caters to cigar lovers or has a smoking section, this one’s a must.
Ashtrays are usually functional but forgettable. Not at Ek Do Dhai!
Our collection of fancy ashtrays includes palm-shaped beauties, traditional Indian angeethi design, mini kettles, and even ones that look like tiny iron pots. These quirky ashtrays can complete your bar decor and spark conversations.
5. Shot glass set
No bar is complete without a solid set of shot glasses (but not just any random mix-and-match ones). A coordinated shot glass set makes your bar look well put-together and ready for a spontaneous round.
The design is the first thing guests notice when a round of shots is ordered. If you serve your guests in mismatched, generic glasses, it feels like an afterthought.
But when you present shots in matching, unique glasses, it adds to the sense of occasion and creates a more memorable moment.
6. Desi daru bottle
Instead of a regular liquor bottle, you can offer a unique twist with a Desi Daru bottle. It’s a great way to bring something local and quirky to your bar menu.
Inspired by old-school country liquor bottles, our desi daru bottles are bold, nostalgic, and full of desi charm. They’re perfect for house-made spirits or signature cocktails that deserve special treatment.
These bottles don't just hold drinks; they hold stories and connect with guests who appreciate the cultural touch.
7. Cocktail glasses set
Cocktails are like theatre. The glass is the costume.
Whether it’s for margaritas or martinis, a good cocktail glass set can make the drink look even more enticing. High-quality, stylish glasses also enhance the aroma and flavour of drinks, encouraging guests to savour every sip.
8. Custom beer mugs
Why settle for generic mugs when you can have custom ones? When you give chilled beer to your guests in a mug that has a cheeky quote or your bar’s logo, it instantly builds a connection.
Custom beer mugs feel personal, fun, and premium all at once.
They make guests feel like they’re getting something special. They’re more likely to remember your lounge the next time they’re thirsty for something cold.
Moreover, branded beer mugs reinforce your bar’s identity. They can help you boost word-of-mouth marketing.
9. Ice bucket for bar
Ice buckets don’t need to fade into the background.
With a sturdy build, timeless shape, and classic design, our vintage-style ice buckets look like they walked off the set of a retro Bollywood bar scene.
They blend into your bar setup but still manage to draw eyes with their subtle elegance. They’re perfect for lounges that want to serve chilled drinks with a side of nostalgia.
10. Tissue paper holder
Nobody remembers a plain old tissue box.
But a tissue paper holder shaped like a vintage radio, a retro scooter, or a mini barricade? That’s unforgettable! It’s the tiniest detail that might just become your bar’s signature.
Ek Do Dhai’s quirky tissue paper holders solve a practical need while adding character to every table. Guests will snap photos of these before they even order their first drink.
11. Cutlery stand
Fork, knife, napkin – boring, right? Not when they're presented in cutlery stands that double as miniature art installations.
Our quirky cutlery stands are far from ordinary. They’re ideal for everyday dining, buffet tables, catered events, restaurants, cafés, and hotels. They keep your setup neat while quietly showing off your taste in fun, thoughtful designs.
Final Pour
At the heart of a great dining or bar experience are the thoughtful details—things your guests may not expect but will definitely remember.
These unique bar accessories aren’t just about decoration. They contribute to the mood, help create memorable moments, and reflect the personality of your space.
After all, it’s often the smallest touches that turn a good experience into a great one.
At Ek Do Dhai, we believe what makes a good bar great is often the details others miss. Our collection of quirky bar accessories can make your fine dining restaurant or luxury lounge the talk of the town.
