Choosing a bar faucet can be daunting when you see all the different styles available.

Function

Traditionally the bar faucet contains a long neck/high arch in the spout portion.  This is to make it more usable for filling a tall glass. You can get a bar faucet with either a two-handed control or a one-handed control.  There are also extras which you can add on.  Things like soap or lotion dispensers and a coordinating side spray is also available for your bar faucet.  You can get faucets with a pull-down functionality and multiple spray options.
