Commercial Kitchen, Dish & Bar Towels

Best Kitchen, Dish, and Bar Towels for Restaurants and Bars

A working kitchen runs on the right cloth at the right station. Terry cotton bar mops soak up spills at the well, ribbed and striped bar towels wipe the rail between rounds, herringbone and flour sack kitchen towels handle drying and hot pan work, waffle weave dish cloths take care of prep surfaces, and microfiber polishes glassware without leaving lint behind.

Sizes run from small square cloths that fit the hand to long glass towels wide enough to dry a pitcher end to end. Heavyweight cotton suits pan work, while flour sack and waffle weave cloths dry faster and fold flat in a service drawer beside the restaurant aprons.

We feature top-quality brands such as Chef Revival, Cuisipro, Winco, Spill-Stop, and O-Cedar Commercial, and strive to provide the most competitive prices available.

Benefits of Kitchen, Dish, and Bar Towels

Cloth earns its keep by going back through the wash instead of into the trash. Cotton absorbs far more than paper and survives repeated laundering, and the color range lets raw prep, the bar, and front-of-house wiping each hold a shade so cloths never cross stations. Kitchens already laundering table linens fold towels into the same cycle.

What to Look for in Kitchen, Dish, and Bar Towels

A few details separate a towel that lasts from one that shreds in a month.

• Material: Cotton for absorbency and heat tolerance, poly blend microfiber for lint-free polishing.
• Weave: Terry and ribbed hold liquid, herringbone stays low lint, and waffle weave and flour sack give up moisture fast.
• Weight: Heavyweight cotton survives pan work, while lighter cloths suit glassware and tabletops.
• Color coding: Solid shades and woven stripes keep each station on its own cloth.
• Case pack: Cotton towels usually arrive a dozen to the pack, microfiber in smaller packs.
• Laundering: Machine washable throughout, with quality microfiber rated for several hundred wash cycles.

Towels vanish faster than any other linen in the building, so buy a season ahead and keep a sealed case behind the ones already in rotation. Order the weaves your stations actually use, retire the thin ones to cleaning duty, and keep oven mitts and pot holders within reach so nobody grabs a damp towel for a hot pan.
