A comfy chair allows customers to rest their tired legs, but what about weary arms? That's where the trusty pub armchair comes in. While most pub furniture is armless, there are options in every category of chair and sofa to give customers something to lean on.
Pub Armchair 1: the Admiral's Chair
In normal pub chairs, an Admiral's chair is your first port of call, adding elegant curved wood arms to a normal pub chair or dining chair design.
The result looks great and feels powerful - you may have seen similar designs in restaurant furniture referred to as carvery chairs, too.
Pub Armchair 2: the Tall Fanback Armchair
For bar stools, we offer a tall fanback armchair, which essentially is a carvery chair with longer legs, and a good match for the Admiral's chair if you want to mix different heights in your overall pub furniture collection.
There are practical benefits to a bar stool with arms, too, as they help to enclose and support the customer, making it less likely that they will fall or be knocked off of their perch later in the night.
Pub Armchair 3: the Outdoor Chair
For outdoor areas, we have a range of stacking armchairs in materials suitable to withstand the elements and in shapes that look natural and don't compromise on aesthetics for the sake of being stackable.
Our Monaco armchair is also stylish and water-resistant for light outdoor use, or just browse our bistro furniture selection for more outdoor furniture ideas.
Pub Armchair 4: the Tub Chair
Back inside the building, a tub chair is a fantastic space-saving option with arms to lean on, and again offers much-needed support to tired customers who aren't feeling energetic enough to perch upright on a stool.
A tub chair is a slightly more compact version of a normal armchair, but if you have the space available, a larger leather armchair is worth the investment too.
Pub Armchair 5: the Sofa
Finally, sofas should not be overlooked when buying pub furniture, as they can seat several people at a time, with the added comfort of a padded arm for the people on the end to lean on.
You'll often see the spare space on the sofa used to perch shopping bags where they can be kept safe and secure too, making this a versatile addition to your pub furniture for a wide range of different customers.
