Drinkware Accessories
Promotional drinkware accessories cover a wide range of products designed to complement beverages, hospitality venues and social occasions. The range includes Coasters and Bottle Openers, together with bar mats, cocktail shakers, drinking straws, barware tools, drinkware gift sets, wine gift sets, hip flasks, ice buckets and coffee cup sleeves. Coasters and bottle openers remain two of the most widely used products in the category because they provide a practical function while keeping branding visible during everyday use.
Drinkware accessories are commonly used by breweries, pubs, clubs, wineries, restaurants and event organisers looking to keep their branding in front of customers. Coasters and bottle openers are often retained for years, while bar mats and cocktail accessories are regularly used in hospitality venues where drinks are prepared and served throughout the day.
Some Popular Drinkware Accessories
Why Some Drinkware Accessories Get Used More Than Others
Some drinkware accessories become part of a person's routine, while others are used only occasionally. Coasters and bottle openers are among the most frequently used products because they solve simple everyday problems while remaining highly visible. Coasters help protect tables and bar tops from moisture and heat, while bottle openers provide a practical function that many people use repeatedly over time.
Other products serve more specialised purposes. Bar mats help keep service areas clean and organised, drinking straws improve beverage presentation and convenience, while cocktail shakers and barware tools are designed for drink preparation. These differences help explain why some drinkware accessories achieve strong long-term retention while others are selected for specific hospitality environments.
Bottle openers are one of the most effective promotional products for pubs because they have a natural connection to the venue and are regularly used long after they are distributed. Bottle opener keyrings are particularly popular because they combine everyday practicality with long-term branding exposure.
The best coaster depends on the environment and desired appearance. Pulpboard coasters are commonly used for short-term promotions and events, while cork, bamboo and premium reusable coasters are often selected by bars, breweries and restaurants looking for a longer-lasting solution.
Stainless steel bottle openers are generally preferred when durability and long-term use are important, while plastic bottle openers are often selected for large promotional campaigns where cost and volume are key considerations. Both remain popular options within hospitality and beverage promotions.
Bar mats are most commonly used behind service counters to help manage spills and protect benchtops, but they are also used on tasting counters, brewery bars, cellar doors and beverage sampling stations. Their large branding area makes them popular wherever drinks are prepared or served.
Breweries commonly choose a combination of coasters, bottle openers and bar mats because each product relates directly to the drinking experience. These products are often used repeatedly by customers and help keep brewery branding visible during social occasions.
Suzanne from our sales team says: A coaster can do more than display a logo. We've seen pubs, breweries and clubs use QR codes linking to drink menus, loyalty programmes and upcoming events, while others add trivia questions, competitions or special offers. Giving customers a reason to pick up the coaster often creates more engagement than branding alone.
Drinkware Accessories That Keep Working After The Drink Is Gone
Some drinkware accessories are used for a single occasion, while others become part of a person's home, workplace or entertaining area for years. Coasters, bottle openers and bar mats are particularly effective because they continue to be used long after a promotion, event or venue visit has ended. Different products serve different purposes, from protecting surfaces and opening bottles through to supporting drink preparation and beverage service. Understanding how customers interact with coasters, bottle openers, barware and drinking accessories can help when selecting products designed to maximise retention and ongoing brand exposure.
