backbar
Behind the bartender
The backbar is the shelving, cabinetry, and display area behind a bar where bottles are stored and shown.
It typically features mirrors, lighting, and tiered shelves to showcase liquor selection: The backbar was stocked with premium whiskeys.
In salon contexts, backbar products are professional-grade items used during services rather than sold retail.
