The Barfly Cocktail Set, 7-Piece Essentials, Gold is an excellent choice for both professional bartenders and home enthusiasts looking to elevate their cocktail-making experience. Crafted with fine barware, this set is designed to provide you with all the essential tools needed to create perfectly crafted cocktails, whether you're hosting a party or enjoying a quiet evening at home.
This was a gift for my son and he is VERY happy with it.The set is stainless steel with all the items needed for bar tending.The case is a visual treat that says "professional" when you see it.From jiggers to tweezers, this is a complete set.
This kit is a roll up bar set so that you can take your bar "on the go." I honestly cannot think of a real world application when I would need to bring an entire bar with me to a separate location. And even if I such an event took place, this kit would not suffice. For example, it comes with the strainer that you typically put over a martini shaker. The kit does not come with a martini shaker, nor is there any space for a shaker in the roll up bag nor are there any pockets that a standard shaker would fit into. I don't see how any of this poorly conceived gift item would help anyone with an "on the go" bar situation.In addition, the actual items of of decent at best quality. The tongs, peeler, and de-pitting tool are all made with plastic and make them look cheap. The strainer is fine and the shot measure is actually quite nice. Maybe someone who is better at drink making than I would like this, but I see no redeeming quality in this purchase.
Pretty cool beginner set. My wife and I are making cocktails every night since we received this! It's a pretty fun hobby and learning the techniques is a ton of fun. Shaken? Stirred? You can experiment with this set. Nice jigger. I know people who would use the satchel, but I won't, so that is unnecessary to me but you might like it. Last night we made a blackberry mint whisky smash.
Note: this review is for the stainless Essentials setI have a few other bar tools from this brand, and was impressed by the quality of the materials and make. This set looks good in the pictures, but it disappoints as soon as you pick it up. The "leather" straps feel very plastic-y, and the buckles are lightweight and feel cheap. Inside, everything is wrapped nicely in tissue for shipping, which does make for decent presentation as a gift. That said, all of the products are extremely light and don't feel at all like high-quality bar tools. For example, the plastic on both the channel knife and the peeler feels rather brittle, and I'd worry about putting it through the dishwasher. The spoon has uneven balance and has a smaller, rounder bowl than the (much nicer) spoons you can buy individually from the brand. The jigger has decent balance, but feels like aluminum or tin, again not at all like the much higher-quality jigger from this brand. When you handle this set, it just feels like a discount set of cheap tools that will get replaced pretty quickly.Overall, I can't recommend this set at all either for a lover of mixed drinks or an aspiring bartender. There are much better quality tools available, even from this brand.
This is a self-contained cocktail set that has seven pieces. There is a strainer, a peeler, a Japanese style jigger, precision straight tongs, a spring-bar strainer, channel knife, and bar spoon with muddler. All of the tools fit nicely inside a waxed canvas holder that can be rolled and closed by leather straps with buckles. Nice presentation piece. The majority of us are not professional mixolgists, so this is perfect
This is a great kit if you are looking for high quality bar tools, especially if you need to transport them. Makes a great gift - everything is well done and they will have everything they need to make the cocktails they like. Nicest set I have seen at this price point, highly recommended.
The BARFLY 7-piece cocktail set is pretty nice. It looks good and is extremely useful. The case is canvas (black) with brown leather straps (brass buckles). This kit comes with 7 items: a Japanese jigger; y-peeler; channel knife; long spoon; tong and strainer, all of which fit nicely in the carrying case. All of which are stainless steel or heavy-duty plastic. There are a ton of extra pockets and space for those items that you might wish to add to your collection, like a bottle/wine opener. Each item has a use. I like the tong because it makes picking up olives, cherries or small ice cubes easier. This kit stores well. While this set is somewhat pricey, I think it is a great gift. You can give it as a housewarming or hostess gift, or you can give it as a gift for the new bartender/mixologist. I definitely think it’s worth taking a look.
