Bar Speed Rails
A speed rail is the stainless trough that bolts to the bar die or clips to an underbar unit and holds well liquor within the bartender's reach for fast pours. Size it by length — figure roughly one 1-liter bottle per ~3″ of rail, so a 22″ single holds about seven bottles — and by tiers: a single tier is one row, a double stacks two rows for about twice the capacity. Mount it at the pour station where it drains and doesn't block the ice bin. Keep it clean — spills collect in the rail.
Compare bar speed rails across every brand by tier count and length. Filter to your well size. Speed rails are bar hardware that rarely carry an online price, so most show “check dealer pricing.”
Bar speed rails: buying guide
A speed rail keeps well liquor in the bartender's reach. The 169 models above filter by tier count and length.
Length and tiers
Figure roughly one 1-liter bottle per ~3″ of rail, so a 22″ single holds about seven bottles. A double tier stacks two rows for about twice the capacity in the same length.
Mounting & sanitation
Bolt it to the bar die or clip it to an underbar unit at the pour station, positioned so it drains and doesn't block the ice bin. Spills collect in the rail — keep it clean and pour spouts covered between services.

Frequently asked questions
How many bottles does a speed rail hold?
Roughly one 1-liter bottle per ~3″ of rail — a 22″ single holds about seven, a double tier roughly twice that. Size it to your well plus a little room.
Where should a speed rail mount?
At the pour station within easy reach — bolted to the bar die or clipped to the underbar — positioned so it drains and doesn't block the ice bin.
Where do your specs and prices come from?
Specifications are compiled from manufacturer spec sheets and authorized dealer listings; where a value isn’t published we leave it blank rather than guess. “Street price” is the lowest legitimate published price from an online dealer we track for that exact model — equipment only, and it changes often. Many models here have no published online price and show “check dealer pricing.”
Does this equipment need to be NSF listed?
Storage and dish-room equipment used in a commercial kitchen is generally expected to be NSF/ANSI listed for cleanable, food-safe construction — that’s what a health inspector checks on plan review. We don’t assert a listing for a specific model unless the manufacturer publishes it; confirm the exact model’s listing when you permit your kitchen.
About this data
Last verified: August 2026. Specs are compiled from manufacturer spec sheets and authorized dealer listings; where a value isn't published we leave it blank rather than guess.
Methodology: every speed rail model is compared on the same set of specifications, and dimensions are checked (for sinks, overall width must exceed the combined bowl widths) — figures that fail validation are corrected from the manufacturer model number or omitted. “Street price” is the lowest legitimate published price we've found and can change.
Sourcing: product specs come from the manufacturer; regulatory statements link to the source (e.g. the FDA Food Code and NSF). Code requirements vary by jurisdiction — confirm with the authority reviewing your plans.
