Floor Mats for Bars and Pubs: Entrances, Behind the Bar, the Bar Top and the Dartboard

Bars and pubs need a logo entrance mat at the door, anti-fatigue mats on the floor behind the bar and in the kitchen, bar mats on the bar top, a dart mat with a printed throw line under the dartboard, and a printed counter mat at the till. A brewery supplying many pubs can put its own logo on most of these.

A pub door is open all evening, in every kind of weather. Outside or in an open porch, the printed outdoor rubber logo mat has a heavy anti-slip rubber base in common thicknesses of 5mm, 6mm, 7mm and 8mm and is made for continuous outdoor use. Inside the door, a nylon logo mat on a rubber backing catches the water and grit that get past the first mat.

Put the pub's name on the mat, or the sign people already know. The artwork is matched to Pantone references and confirmed on a free digital proof before production.

Bar staff stand on a hard floor for the whole shift, and that floor is often wet. The solid-grip anti-fatigue mat puts a cushioned PU / PVC foam core under their feet to ease pressure on feet, knees and lower back. Commercial-grade versions are made for 8-hour shifts.

Behind a bar, the surface matters as much as the cushioning. The surface is waterproof and stain-resistant, so spilled beer stays on top and wipes off, and the materials resist mould and bacteria. A solid grip base keeps the mat where it was laid. Order it to the length of the service area, so staff aren't stepping on and off a short mat all night; the same mat suits the pub kitchen, at the pass and the dish station.

Bar mats catch drips under glasses at the pumps and the cocktail station, and they're the most-photographed branding in the pub. There are two constructions:

A season of league nights leaves the floor under a dartboard full of small holes, and a taped throw line peels at both ends. A dart mat takes the bounce-outs and carries a printed oche that stays exactly where it was printed. Tell us the distance or distances your players use, measured from the face of the board, and the lines are printed to your measurements.

Dart mats come in nylon on latex, polyester on latex, or heat-sublimation-printed polyester on a non-woven backing, in a custom length. They ship rolled, so the mat can be rolled away after a match. See our guide to dart mats with printed throw lines.

The spot where customers pay is small, but everyone looks at it. A printed branded counter mat has a full-colour PVC top on an anti-slip foam rubber base, in 12″×24″, 18″×36″ or 24″×48″ or a custom size. Use it for a guest beer, a food menu or the quiz night. For offers that change every week, an insert-window counter mat takes a new printed sheet without a new mat.

A brewery or drinks brand that supplies dozens of pubs can put its logo on bar mats, dart mats and counter mats and send them out as point-of-sale kits. Keep one artwork and a small number of standard sizes, so every venue gets the same look and reorders are simple. A pub group can do the same with its own entrance mats; see logo mats for multiple locations.

Ask for a physical pre-production sample before a large run. It's the easiest way to check colour and logo height before the mats reach every bar.

Send the door sizes, the length of the area behind the bar, the bar top length, the throw distance for the dartboard, quantities and your logo. Stock items typically ship in 7–15 days and custom orders in 20–30 days, plus shipping; MOQ is confirmed in the quote. See the bar mat range or send us your pub's list.

What floor mats does a pub need? A pub needs a logo entrance mat at the door, anti-fatigue mats behind the bar and in the kitchen, bar mats on the bar top, a dart mat under the dartboard and a counter mat at the till.

What mat goes on the floor behind a bar? An anti-fatigue mat with a cushioned foam core, a waterproof surface that wipes clean and a grip base that stays in place on a wet floor.

Should a bar mat be moulded or printed? Choose a moulded rubber or PVC bar mat for a simple logo at a busy, wet station, and a sublimation printed bar mat for full-colour or photographic artwork.

Can a dart mat have our pub's logo? Yes. Logos can be printed along the sides of the dart mat, behind the throw line and at the board end, and the layout is confirmed on a free digital proof.
