What's Behind The Bar
Our Story
Bar U Topia, located at 318 Burke Drive, Morganton, NC 28655, is the brainchild of Christopher Price and his manufacturing operations at Fence Quarter, LLC, a renowned outdoor product manufacturer. The journey of Bar U Topia began with the creation of bar prototypes in November of 2022. Through rigorous testing and innovative construction methods, we have crafted a market-ready product with unique selling points that are bound to pique your interest. These include a distinctive curved look, a lightweight yet durable bar top engineering, power chord chases for direct power integration, and a versatile range of accessories.
Our designs offer remarkable flexibility, giving you the power to update the bar colors to match your décor preferences at any time. This unique feature empowers you to transform your outdoor space as often as you like, reflecting your personal style and mood. Moreover, Bar U Topia's commitment to quality is evident in its manufacturing process. We use only the highest grade of lumber, along with premium materials for the countertops and leather panels, ensuring a stylish and durable product.
Our Artist
In the summer of 2011, while hosting a party for friends in Temecula, CA, I realized everything was perfect, except we did not have a bar. I went to the garage and started cutting scrap lumber to build this incredible nine-foot curved patio bar. The creation was a tiki bar complete with leftover reed on the front and sides, a stained and lacquered bar top surrounded with leftover blackout material from my set production days in Hollywood. I stapled a strip of fabric to the front edges of the bar top to add character, added a single shelf, and completed the entire look by mounting a slanted tiki torch to each end. It took about four hours to build, but it was the best party accent I could ever have hoped for.
Life took its twists and turns over the years, but one thing remained constant, the memory of that innovative bar design I crafted in 2011. It was a seed that I nurtured, and in November 2022, I found myself with all the necessary ingredients to turn this idea into a reality. Armed with a small factory, tools, and an unwavering commitment to my original creation, I transformed my impromptu bar into a production-line product. This was the birth of the DIY Home Bar Kit, a testament to the power of persistence and dedication in the face of entrepreneurial challenges.
Today, armed with detailed engineering drawings and a dedicated team of professionals, I stand on the brink of a new chapter in my entrepreneurial journey. The culmination of my efforts will be showcased at the prestigious Spring Market 2024 in High Point, North Carolina, where I will proudly unveil two incredible designs. This is not just a success story, but a testament to the power of a single idea and the determination to see it through to its full potential.
