Product Overview

Here’s a piece of kit that no serious bar can do without. The Olympia DR620 is a professional 4 prong cocktail strainer designed to give you a perfect, clean pour every single time. It’s the unsung hero behind every crisp, ice-free Martini and  smooth, pulp-free sour. Forget flimsy, awkward strainers that slip and  spill; this is the real deal, built for speed, stability, and  style.

Crafted for the fast-paced environment of a bustling British pub, a high-end cocktail lounge, or even a busy mobile bar, this Hawthorne strainer is a true workhorse. Its robust stainless steel construction means it won’t bend under pressure or hold onto flavours from one drink to the next. The four prongs provide a rock-solid grip on your shaker, giving you the confidence to pour quickly and  accurately, even with one hand during the busiest of services.

If you're looking to elevate your mixology game, improve consistency, and  equip your team with tools that last, this is it. The tight coil, ergonomic design, and  universal fit make it a smart, simple upgrade that delivers professional results.

Expert Review and  Insights

The Olympia DR620 is the definition of a workhorse. It's not trying to be flashy, but it nails the fundamentals better than most. The stability from the four prongs is genuinely brilliant – it just sits planted on the shaker, which gives you incredible confidence during a hectic service. It's a simple, reliable tool built to handle the pressures of a professional bar without fuss.

Freddie Wallace – Pub Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pros: The four-prong base is incredibly stable on any standard shaker.
  • Cons: Its tight spring, while great for straining, needs a good rinse immediately.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Shaker & Quill," a popular literary-themed cocktail bar in York, was struggling with inconsistent pours and  frustrating spills from their old, flimsy two-prong strainers, which was slowing down their weekend service.

"We switched the whole team over to the Olympia DR620s. The difference was immediate. The stability from the four prongs means our bartenders can work faster and  with more confidence. There are no more wobbles or slips, just a clean, fast pour, every single time. It's a small change that has made a huge operational difference."

Samuel Jones – Bar Manager

The result? The bar has reduced drink prep time during busy periods, allowing them to serve more customers and  decrease spills by over 90%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unpack from the protective sleeve upon arrival.
  • Give it a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • Test its fit on your primary Boston shaker tin to get a feel for the grip.
  • Place it within easy reach of your cocktail-making station for efficient service.

Keeping It Going

  • Rinse immediately after each use to prevent citrus and  sugar from drying in the spring.
  • For a deep clean, it's fully dishwasher safe. Place it securely in the utensil basket.
  • Periodically check that the prongs haven't been bent out of shape during heavy use.
  • Store it dry to maintain its professional stainless steel lustre.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Cocktail Strainer

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few tips to help you choose the perfect professional cocktail strainer for your bar.

Material Matters

Always opt for stainless steel. It’s durable, easy to sanitise, and  won't corrode or impart any unwanted metallic taste to your drinks.

Check the Prongs

A four-prong strainer offers far superior stability compared to two-prong models, preventing slips and  spills during a busy service.

Spring Tightness

A tightly coiled spring is key. It's your best defence against small ice shards, herbs, and  fruit pulp getting into the final drink.

Comfort is Key

Look for a handle or grip that feels comfortable. You'll be holding this hundreds of times a night, so an ergonomic design reduces fatigue.

Consider Compatibility

While most Hawthorne strainers are a standard size, it's always worth checking they are designed for the type of shaker you use most often (e.g., Boston Shaker).

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this fit my non-Olympia Boston shaker?

A: Yes, the Olympia DR620 is designed to a standard size that fits most professional Boston shakers and  mixing glasses, not just Olympia's own.

Q: Is this strainer fully dishwasher safe?

A: Absolutely. It's made from high-grade stainless steel, making it perfectly safe for commercial dishwashers for quick and  easy sanitation.

Q: What is the main benefit of a Hawthorne strainer over a Julep strainer?

A: A Hawthorne strainer, with its spring, is designed for straining shaken cocktails from a tin. A Julep strainer is a perforated spoon used for straining stirred cocktails from a mixing glass.

Q: How do I clean the spring effectively?

A: The best way is to rinse it under a powerful tap immediately after use. For a deeper clean, a small brush can be used, or simply place it in the dishwasher.

Q: Will the stainless steel rust or affect the taste of my drinks?

A: No, this is a catering-grade stainless steel bar strainer. It is specifically chosen for its resistance to rust and  because it is non-reactive, meaning it won't taint the flavour of your cocktails.

Q: Can I get this strainer in other finishes?

A: Yes, this popular design is also available in a stylish copper (DR600) and  a classic non-coloured stainless steel finish (DR590) to match your bar's aesthetic.

Q: Is it comfortable to use for a whole shift?

A: Yes, it is very lightweight (only 70g) and  designed with an ergonomic tab for your finger, which helps reduce wrist strain during long, busy periods of cocktail making.

Q: Why is a 4 prong cocktail strainer better than a 2 prong one?

A: The four prongs provide four points of contact on the shaker rim, creating a much more stable, level base that prevents wobbling and  slipping while you pour.

What Customers Are Saying

"A proper bit of kit. Solid, fits our shakers perfectly, and  the spring catches everything. Can't ask for more, really."

David B – Pub Owner, Manchester

"This is a fantastic Hawthorne strainer for bar work. It’s sturdy and  looks very professional. The coil is tight, so a quick rinse straight after use is a must."

Maria Evans – Mobile Events Bartender, London

"We replaced all our old strainers with these. They are much more stable and  easy to clean in the dishwasher. A great value purchase."

Chloe Green – Hotel Bar Supervisor, Glasgow

The Olympia Promise: Built for the British Bar

When you choose Olympia, you're investing in more than just a piece of metal; you're buying into a legacy of reliability trusted by thousands of pubs, hotels, and  bars across the UK. The DR620 strainer isn't designed in a lab; it's designed with the real-world chaos of a Friday night service in mind. This focus on practical, no-nonsense durability is what sets Olympia apart. While cheaper alternatives might bend, rust, or have springs that warp after a few months, this tool is engineered to withstand the rigours of constant use, endless cycles through the dishwasher, and  the occasional drop on the floor. It represents a long-term saving, not just in replacement costs, but in the time and  frustration saved from using inferior equipment. It’s the kind of dependable quality that allows your bartenders to focus on what they do best: creating fantastic drinks.

Why Four Prongs Mean a Better, Faster Pour

Ever tried to sit on a two-legged stool? It’s a wobbly, uncertain balancing act. That’s essentially what you’re doing with a standard two-prong strainer. The Olympia DR620's four-prong design is like swapping that wobbly stool for a solid, four-legged chair. The two extra contact points create a much more stable and  balanced platform on the rim of your shaker tin. This stability is crucial because it allows you to hold the shaker and  strainer securely with just one hand, freeing up your other hand to grab a glass or garnish. It eliminates the slip, wobble, and  dreaded spills, giving you the confidence to work quickly and  cleanly, even when the dockets are piling up.
