Bar table tents and drink menu cards
A bar tent card sells the next round. Short lists, big type and one clear feature do more than a full menu squeezed onto a card.
Cards that work in a bar
Feature cocktails
Four to six drinks with one line each and a price. A photo of the hero drink on the other face.
Happy hour and late night
The hours, the days and two or three headline prices. Big enough to read in low light.
Draught and taps
If your tap list changes weekly, print the format (brewery logos, styles) and keep the changing list on a board.
Events
Trivia night, live music, game days. Print the recurring schedule, not single dates.
Responsible service and rides
Taxi or ride-share QR codes and a designated-driver offer.
Design for dim light
Bars are darker than restaurants. Use type at least 14 pt for prices, strong contrast, and avoid thin script fonts for drink names. Matte card helps: it does not throw glare from pendant lights.
Bar tops are wet. Place cards toward the back edge, away from the rail, and keep spares behind the bar.

Questions
Can I print alcohol prices on table tents?
Rules on advertising drink prices vary by province. Check your provincial liquor authority's advertising rules before printing happy hour prices.
See your price, send your file, approve the proof.
Prices in CAD before you order. Nothing is printed or charged until you approve the proof.
