Glossary Entry: Bar Bonnet®

Designed and manufactured by the Booze Barn®—a company selling barstools, blenders, dispensers, bottle displays, swizzle sticks, glassware and cocktail shakers, as well as assorted libations, beverages, potations and brews, not to mention Bar Buddys® and similar servingbots—the Bar Bonnet® is a snug-fitting, viscoelastic cap, whose unique patented and proprietary technologies allow it to displace the energy of a chair, fist, or bottle swung, or otherwise aimed at the head, and send the force right back to its point of origin. It can be worn alone, or as a protective liner under more formal headwear. For bartenders at some of the rougher nightspots on some of the rougher stations, the Bar Bonnet® is a steal, even at its overly steep price. “More bang for the bang,” as they say in the biz.
