I loved my days serving tables back in college. I learned a lot about fine dining and bar service including the different types of bar glasses, wine glasses, beer glasses and glassware in general.
At first it was a lot to take in, but in short order I knew which drink went into which glass. It was a fun skill to learn that’s now applicable to our own bar service for dinner parties.
I dug into my serving past and put together this extensive article setting out your bar glass options, including materials, features and styles.
A. Types of Bar Glasses
Expanded List of Bar Glasses
1. Cocktail
Used to serve drinks without any ice, this classic glass has a cone bowl that has been inverted. They usually hold up to six ounces, although it is possible to buy smaller ones.
Because the mouth of the glass is so large, you can easily get your nose and face close to your drink, which will allow you to breathe in the aromas of your beverage and fully enjoy it.

2. Highball
Wider and shorter than a Collins glass but taller than an Old fashioned glass, Highball glasses are perfect for most mixed drinks and cocktails. They hold 8-12 ounces of liquid and are generally used for drinks that have more mixer in them than alcohol.
3. Zombie
Originally used to serve a drink called the Zombie, these glasses are still very popular due to how straight the lines are and how stylish they appear. This glass is generally taller than other glass options and can actually be around seven inches tall.
They are frosted or clear, and both will showcase the beauty of the drink and its unique colors. Due to their taller size, they generally hold about 13.5 ounces of liquid.
4. Collins
These glasses average about 12 ounces in capacity, but some will easily hold 14. They are tall, cylindrical, and normally made of regular or frosted glass. While you can use a Highball glass in a pinch, it is nice to be able to serve your beverages in the correct glass.
5. Sling
This tall and thin glass is perfect for a lot of drinks but most notably used for Long Island Ice Teas. They have a small foot at the base, which make them perfect for parties, as they are much more difficult to knock over than other glasses are.
Due to how slim they are, they are easy and comfortable to hold and while they are designed for a certain beverage, they will hold any drink that you want to enjoy in style.
6. Irish Coffee
If you are going to be enjoying a warm alcoholic beverage then you will want this type of glass, as they have small handles and are heat-resistant.
This ensures that you can easily drink your beverage without burning your hands. The flared opening of these glasses allows there to be some foam on top of the drink.
7. Old Fashioned
Also called a ‘lowball glass’, these glasses have a solid base that are perfect for muddling drinks in them. They are squatter and more solid to hold than a Highball glass.
Some people also use these glasses when they are going to be drinking their liquor neat and enjoy that the glass can easily be held in a number of ways without worrying about dropping or spilling their drink.
8. Rocks
This glass is ideal for any kind of cocktail that you want to enjoy as well as having liquor straight up on some ice. While they are shorter glasses, there is plenty to hold on to so that there is no risk of accidentally dropping the drink.
In addition, they are wide enough to easily hold plenty of ice to keep the drink nice and cold and still accommodate a stirrer. The wide opening at the top ensures that the drinker will be able to smell and really enjoy their beverage.
9. Tumbler
This is a great glass that can be used in a number of ways. While there is no stem, which means that the drink will heat up more in the hand, the curve of the glass ensures that the beverage smells and tastes great.
This is a flat-bottomed glass that is perfect for most uses, and although it’s possible to buy ones that have smaller openings on the top, opting for one that is nice and wide will ensure that the drinker can really enjoy their beverage.
10. Martini
Serving sizes have gotten larger and martini glasses have grown with them. They are similar to a basic cocktail glass but the bowl is usually larger and completely conical at the bottom. Again, like margarita glasses, you can have stems in a number of designs. From classic to funky, there’s something for everyone.
11. Margarita
This is a variant of a cocktail glass and is traditionally only used to serve margaritas. They come in all sizes, from small to fishbowl, and can have different types of stems, depending on your preference.
From straight to curvy to zigzag, you can pick a stem that will match the rest of your glasses and décor. Margaritas are often served for parties, and having a set of fun glasses makes this drink even more enjoyable.
12. Hurricane
This is a very familiar-shaped glass and is so named after the drink being poured into hurricane-shaped glasses. A staple in New Orleans, this glass adds a lot of flair to any bar.
13. Poco Grande
Similar to a hurricane glass, the poco grande has a longer stem that makes the drink sit up a little higher. It’s a very attractive glass to showcase beautiful beverages and perfect for cold or blended drinks as the warmth from the person’s hand will not negatively affect the quality of the drink.
With a rounder bottom and a smaller mouth, it’s a much daintier glass than some of the other bar glasses available and is a nice addition to any home bar.
14. Sour
Some people know this glass better as a Delmonico glass. It has a stem, a wide opening and almost looks like a smaller champagne flute. Generally used to serve whiskey sours and other sour drinks, it holds about five ounces.
The opening directs the smell and flavor of the drink directly to the nose of the person enjoying the beverage. They can be difficult to find, so in a pinch a smaller champagne glass is a great replacement.
15. Milkshake
These glasses look retro in the best way possible. Anyone who has ever been to a soda fountain before will remember drinking a milkshake out of one of these glasses.
They have a very distinctive shape, with a wide opening for the mouth and gently curving sides that end in a large, heavy foot. This is to be sure that the drink does not spill and allows the person enjoying it to stir it with a straw.
16. Coupe
This long-stemmed glass has a very wide and shallow bowl that brings a certain retro quality to the drinks that you’re serving. They are often used to serve drinks such as the Side Car, Martinez and Aviation.
They can be a little tricky to drink out of because of how shallow and top heavy they are, but they add a lot of glamour to your drink and many people think that they are worth the extra fuss and effort.
17. Snifter
Brandy snifters have been perfectly designed to improve the drinking experience of any brandy. With their classic shape that is easily recognizable, nothing will stand in as a good substitute.
It’s important to have quality brandy snifters to ensure that you have the best experience when drinking. The right shape and size mouth will greatly improve the drinking experience.
18. Wobble
This glass is great to use if you want an updated version of a brandy snifter or brandy glass. They are contemporary and look great at any home bar and rely on their wide mouth to help intensify the flavor of the beverage.
It can be tricky to keep the glass from falling over if you aren’t careful, but correctly designed wobble glasses generally are sturdy enough to prevent this from happening. They are a fun way to serve a drink and are sure to invite conversation when you have people over for a beverage.
19. Nosing
These glasses are specifically made to help capture the aroma and the flavor of the drink. Because of this, they are generally used when drinking straight whiskey. The wider bottom narrows to the top, and this top can sometimes flare out a little so that the aroma is allowed to waft out of the glass.
They are heavy enough and have enough weight to them that they are not as fragile as some other available glasses. Because of this there is not as big of a risk of them being knocked over as there is with some other types of glasses.
20. Pousse Café
This glass was created to serve beautifully layered drinks. The gentle curve in from the wider bottom makes it very easy to layer drinks without worrying about the layers blending in together. They are rather small and generally hold less than four ounces.
In addition to being ideal for layered drinks, these glasses work very well for serving liqueur. Again, because of the longer stem, these glasses ensure that the drink will not get warm.
The attractive design and shape of the glass only serve to enhance the attractiveness of the drink, especially when it is layered. Careful pouring ensures that the layers stay separate and are able to be clearly seen.
21. Cordial
Holding only two ounces, this is a very small glass but still a great one to have in any bar. Just like the pousse café, it does a great job holding and displaying layered drinks and is often used for an after dinner aperitif or for liqueur.
It is perfect for this because most people will not want a lot of a sweet drink after they have eaten a large meal. While some people will serve cordials in other glasses, especially brandy snifters, these glasses have been perfectly made to ensure that they offer the best flavor possible from the beverage.
22. Grappa
Grappa glasses are named after the drink that they were created to hold. Grappa is a very fragrant beverage and is sensitive to temperature changes, hence the long stem on the glasses. The very narrow and small bowl curves in sharply before opening in a dramatic flair.
Not only does this look very attractive, but it ensures that the drinker is able to enjoy the full aroma of their beverage. If you enjoy drinking grappa then you know that there is really no good substitute for this glass.
Due to its unique shape, it has been perfectly made to capture the flavor and aroma of the beverage and ensure that the drinker is able to fully enjoy it. Using a different glass will decrease the enjoyment of drinking grappa.
23. Liqueur
These smaller glasses are ideal for holding and serving sweet liqueur. In general, most people will not want to drink a lot of liqueur at one time, so these small glasses are a great portion.
They offer a very flared opening that allows the drinker to bring their nose close to the surface of their beverage, intensifying the smell. Some liqueur glasses are very dainty and can be easily broken, so it’s important to make sure that the ones you have are strong enough to stand up to use. Of course, thinner glass will make for a more attractive drink and glass.
24. Shot Glasses
Used primarily to take shots of liquor, these glasses are shorter than all of the others and generally fairly skinny. You can buy ones that are a bit more conical in shape, although some are just straight-sided cylinders.
They come in all kinds of styles and appearances and are often picked up as a souvenir when people are traveling. The design of the shot glass does not at all affect the function, and plain ones can easily be stacked in a cupboard or on the bar until they are needed. Since they are used so quickly, there is no need for a long stem to protect the flavor and aroma of the drink.
25. Shooter
Shooter glasses are taller than shot glasses and may flare out slightly at the top. While shot glasses are generally used to serve a single serving of alcohol, shooter glasses are large enough to hold a mixture. This makes them ideal for serving custom mixed drinks that need to be drunk quickly as a shot.
In addition, for people who want to take a double or triple shot, these glasses can be used in a pinch. Of course, this makes it more difficult to drink all of the liquid at once, but can make for an enjoyable drink.
B. Wine Glasses
There are a wide variety of wine glasses for different types of wines. In fact, there are different wine glasses for red, white and dessert wines.
We put together a dedicated article listing and describing all the different types of wine glasses

If you love the look of crystal but not the price tag that comes with them, then you will want to consider glass as your material of choice for your new bar glasses.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are short bar glasses called?
Short bar glasses are usually called lowball glasses, old-fashioned glasses, or rocks glasses. These short glasses hold between six and eight ounces with a solid base that helps to make drinks with muddled ingredients.
Short, low bar glasses are also used to serve neat pours of liquor. Smaller, shorter bar glasses designed for one-shot are called shot glasses and hold just enough for one shot of liquor at a time.
How many bar glasses do I need for a wedding?
The number of bar glasses required for a wedding varies depending on how many adult guests will be drinking alcohol.
Ideally, plan to use between two and four glasses per guest if they’re going to be drinking wine or other beverages. This will ensure that each person has enough clean glasses to enjoy several drinks during the reception.
How many ounces are in a beer glass?
A standard American beer glass holds approximately 16 ounces of liquid. However, some beer glasses may hold more or less depending on the size and shape. An imperial beer glass holds 20 ounces, a large Weizen glass can hold up to 24 ounces, while a beer goblet holds 21 ounces of your favorite beer. Each shape is designed for certain brews, so your mileage may vary.
What are tall beer glasses called?
Tall beer glasses are called pilsner glasses and have a slender shape. This popular beer glass can hold 12 ounces of beer.
Can you put beer glasses in the freezer?
Technically, you should not put beer glasses in the freezer since the extremely low temperatures could cause the glass to break. However, you can usually put beer mugs or beer steins in the freezer due to their thicker construction and sturdy handle.
Never put beer mugs with a stem (think wine glasses) or any beer mugs made of thin glass in the freezer, and never put wet glassware or glasses that just came out of the dishwasher in the freezer, since they’re especially vulnerable to breaking.
Can you put beer glasses in the dishwasher?
No, most beer glasses are not dishwasher-safe unless they have the dishwasher-safe symbol located on the bottom. Most beer glasses should always be washed by hand using dish soap and warm water.
How tall are wine glasses?
Most wine glasses are six to 10 inches tall, depending on the style and brand. Red wine glasses are typically taller than white glasses and are usually approximately eight inches tall.
Can you put wine glasses in the dishwasher?
You may put wine glasses in the dishwasher if they’re labeled as dishwasher safe. Always use the delicate wash cycle and avoid using the heated drying cycle to prevent breakage. Ideally, wine glasses should be hand-washed to preserve their longevity.
Why do wine glasses have stems?
Wine glasses have stems because they make it easier to hold the glass, so you can direct the aroma of the wine to your nose and aerate the wine correctly. Stems also keep you from holding the glass with your hand, which helps to prevent body heat from altering the temperature and the taste of the wine.
How many wine glasses are in a bottle?
A typical bottle of wine contains 25 fluid ounces, which equates to a total of five glasses per bottle for a standard pour.
What kind of vinyl is used for wine glasses?
The best vinyl for wine glasses is a permanent adhesive outdoor adhesive vinyl like Oracal 651. This vinyl will stay securely attached to wine glasses even after washing them. Always use durable vinyl that has a very strong adhesive for the best results.
What kind of paint to use on wine glasses?
If you’re thinking of doing some creative, DIY-painted wine glasses, always use acrylic enamel paint for the best results. This paint is specially formulated for glass and won’t fade, run, or come off when you wash your wine glasses.
Why are wine glasses so big?
Some wine glasses are larger to help highlight the wine’s aroma. When the glass is wider and larger, it allows the wine to aerate so you can get a good sniff before you take a sip.
Another reason why wine glasses are so big is that the culture of drinking wine has become much more casual. Today, lots of people like to drink wine at parties, so they want larger glasses to hold their beverages.
Can you bring wine glasses on a plane?
Yes, you can bring wine glasses on a plane, but only if the glasses are secured in either your carry-on or checked baggage. You cannot hold wine glasses in your hand when you’re traveling by airplane. If in doubt, it’s always best to check the TSA for all of the latest rules and regulations before you fly for your next vacation.
Can you recycle wine glasses?
Yes, you can recycle most wine glasses, but it’s best to check with your local recycling center to confirm. Wine glasses are categorized as soda-lime glass, which is typically considered a recyclable material in most locations.
What to do with old wine glasses?
You can recycle old wine glasses or use them as centerpieces, vases, candle holders, small terrariums or planters, organizers, or just as décor in your home.
Are stemless wine glasses tacky?
Stemless wine glasses are great for parties and casual occasions, and they’re not considered tacky. However, your hand will come in contact with the glass, which may affect the wine’s temperature and taste.
Why are wine glasses so thin?
Wine glasses are thin so you can see the wine’s beautiful color. A thin glass also helps with aeration and taste, so that the wine’s full flavor comes through when you sip.
