About A Bar Above

We’re Chris and Julia Tunstall, a husband-and-wife team passionate about the beverage industry and dedicated to helping retailers offer the best barware to their customers. Inspired by Chris’ decade of experience as a bartender and bar manager, we started A Bar Above in 2013 as a bar education site. Over the years, we’ve expanded into online training, a podcast, and a premium barware line designed for both professionals and home cocktail enthusiasts. Based in Carlsbad, California, our small but dedicated team shares our love for craft cocktails and quality tools. Every product in our collection is personally tested and thoughtfully designed to meet the demands of professional bartenders—while still being easy for anyone to use. We create barware that stands out in retail, offering a premium feel, exceptional durability, and timeless design that your customers will appreciate. Our mission is to serve the people who love great drinks! Whether your customers are seasoned bartenders or home mixologists, our bar tools help them craft better cocktails with ease. Stocking A Bar Above means offering your customers professional-quality barware they can trust, backed by a brand that’s built on real industry experience. Read their story
