  • Rock Solid Build: The thick base and  walls significantly reduce breakages during service and  washing.
  • Plain Styling: Lacks decorative flair, which might not suit high-end, style-led cocktail bars.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Queen's Head, a popular tavern in Bath, was struggling with frequent glassware replacements from a cheaper, less durable brand that constantly chipped in the glasswasher.

"We were just fed up with glasses cracking or getting knocked over on a busy night. These Olympia ones are solid. They feel professional in the hand and  have already cut our replacement costs right down. Our staff prefer them, and  they look smart on the bar."

Robert Davies – General Manager

The switch resulted in a measured 60% reduction in glassware breakage and  replacement orders within the first three months.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always wash glasses before their first use to remove any dust from manufacturing or packaging.
  • When stacking on a shelf, avoid wedging them tightly inside one another to prevent pressure cracks.
  • Ensure your glasswasher rinse aid is topped up for a sparkling, streak-free finish every time.
  • Before service, give them a quick polish with a microfibre cloth for that extra gleam.

Keeping It Going

  • Load into the glasswasher rack carefully, ensuring glasses don't knock against each other during the cycle.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers or steel wool, which can create micro-scratches and  weaken the glass over time.
  • Regularly check for any tiny chips or cracks, especially around the rim, and  remove from service immediately to ensure safety.
  • Never pour very hot liquid into a cold glass to avoid thermal shock, which can cause it to crack.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Glassware

Need a bit of help choosing? Here are a few things to consider when you're stocking up on commercial glassware.

Material Matters

Toughened or thick-based glass, like this Olympia GF919 shot glass, is ideal for high-volume use. Crystal is beautiful but is better suited to fine dining where handling is more delicate.

Measure Markings

For serving spirits in the UK, using a CE-marked measure is essential for serving legal quantities accurately and  avoiding any trouble with Trading Standards.

Stackability

If storage space behind the bar is tight, look for glasses specifically designed to stack safely without chipping or creating a vacuum seal that makes them hard to separate.

Rim Style

A 'rolled' or 'beaded' rim provides extra strength and  chip resistance right where glasses are most vulnerable to damage during handling and  washing.

Aesthetics vs. Practicality

A simple, classic design is brilliantly versatile and  easy to replace if needed, while a unique style can enhance a specific theme but might be harder to source later on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these glasses CE marked for a 25ml measure?

A: These glasses are designed to a 25ml capacity, making them perfect for use as a standard single shot measure in UK licensed premises.

Q: What does 'glasswasher safe' really mean for a busy pub?

A: It means the glass is tough enough to withstand the high temperatures, water pressure, and  chemical detergents of commercial glasswashers without clouding, cracking, or degrading.

Q: Can these shot glasses be stacked?

A: While they are not specifically designed as 'stacking' glasses, they can be carefully placed on top of one another. For best practice and  to avoid damage, we recommend using glass jacks or dedicated shelving.

Q: Is the base completely flat on the bottom?

A: The base is thick and  heavy for stability, with a slight concave shape which helps prevent a vacuum from forming when placed on a wet bar top.

Q: What is the exact diameter of the glass?

A: The external width is 38mm, making it a classic, slim shot glass that's easy to handle.

Q: Are they good for serving layered shots like a B-52?

A: Absolutely. The straight sides and  perfectly transparent glass make them ideal for showing off the distinct layers of colourful, crafted shots.

Q: How many glasses come in one pack?

A: This product is sold as a pack containing 12 individual shot glasses, offering fantastic value for money.

Q: What is the Olympia brand known for?

A: Olympia is a trusted name in the UK hospitality industry, renowned for producing reliable, exceptionally durable, and  practical catering equipment and  tableware.

Why a Thick, Heavy Base is More Than Just Weight

You might see 'thick base' on a spec sheet and  just think it means it’s heavy. But it's actually a clever piece of engineering for a busy bar. Think of it like the difference between a flimsy plastic cup and  a proper ceramic mug. The extra weight at the bottom lowers the glass's centre of gravity, making it far less likely to be knocked over by a stray elbow on a crowded bar top. It also provides a solid, satisfying 'clink' when placed down, adding a touch of quality to the customer's experience. This small detail prevents spills, reduces breakages, and  keeps service flowing smoothly, especially when staff are working at pace.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bustling Pubs & Bars: A reliable glass shot measure for pubs, perfect for serving spirits and  shots quickly during the busiest hours.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: An ideal choice for serving after-dinner liqueurs or digestifs, offering durability and  classic style.
  • Nightclubs & Live Music Venues: The sturdy build minimises expensive breakages in fast-paced, high-energy environments.
  • Event Caterers & Function Halls: A cost-effective and  dependable option for stocking mobile bars for weddings and  corporate events.
