01
Toughened Glass Tumblers for High-Volume Bars
In a high-volume bar or cafe, glassware must withstand rapid temperature fluctuations and constant handling.
Thermal Shock Resistance: We stock tempered or toughened glassware, such as our Duralex tumbler ranges, which are very durable and resistant to thermal shock. They handle temperature changes better than regular glass, making them highly suitable for both hot and cold drinks.
Safety Profile: If these glasses do break, instead of breaking into dangerous, sharp shards, they will safely shatter into lots of smaller pieces. Our Crown Headmaster pot glasses are also manufactured from this toughened glass.
For outdoor dining, poolside service, or venues with strict non-glass regulations, polycarbonate is the standard.
The VIVA Advantage: We stock premium polycarbonate drinkware such as our VIVA tumblers and pot glasses.
Aesthetic Durability: These are exceptionally good quality, actually look like real glass, and ‘age’ significantly better over time than some of the other polycarbonate drinkware on the market.

frequently asked questions
Where can I buy commercial glassware in Melbourne?
Unicorn Kitchenware supplies commercial glassware and barware from our Richmond showroom at 200 Victoria Street, serving bars, cafes, restaurants and function venues across Melbourne. Our glassware range covers beer, wine, champagne, cocktail and hot drink glasses, jugs and carafes, alongside Zanzi bar equipment and VIVA polycarbonate drinkware. Stocked lines are available for same-day click and collect on orders placed before 11am.
What glassware does a cocktail bar need?
Most cocktail lists run on three shapes doing three jobs. A rocks glass for spirit-forward drinks served over ice, a highball for long drinks with a higher proportion of mixer, and a stemmed glass for anything served up, whether that is a coupe, a martini or a Nick and Nora. Add specialty shapes only for drinks that genuinely stay on the menu, because unusual glassware ties up money and shelf space and tends to break before it earns its keep.
We stock cocktail glassware from Bormioli Rocco, Pasabahce, Libbey and Crown alongside bar equipment from Zanzi, TruPour and Tablekraft.
