Let’s be real: Bartending is 10% mixology and 90% "controlled chaos." Between the sticky agave spills, the lemon zest spray, and the constant hustle from the well to the pass, your clothes are basically in a war zone.

When the European Bartender School (EBS)—the undisputed heavyweight champion of bartender training—released their definitive guide to the 9 Best Bartending Aprons, we didn’t just make the list.

We took two of the top spots. While other brands were lucky to get a nod for a single design, EBS highlighted both our Coated Twill and our Denim Split-Leg aprons. Here’s why the pros are doubling down on Under NY Sky.

One Size Does Not Fit All (Workflows)

EBS recognizes something we’ve preached for over 10 years: a high-volume craft cocktail bartender needs different gear than a high-speed flair bartender.

• The "Workhorse" (Coated Twill): EBS loved this for its durability. It’s the apron for the person who’s deep in the weeds but needs to look like they just stepped out of a photoshoot. It wipes clean, stays crisp, and handles the "daily grind" without flinching.

• The "Athlete" (Denim Split-Leg): This was their pick for the movement-heavy pros. If you’re a flair bartender or someone who’s constantly reaching for low-shelf bottles, the split-leg design means the fabric moves with your legs, not against them.

The Secret Weapon: The "No-Tie" Revolution

The EBS pros were particularly impressed by a design innovation we pioneered: the No-Tie system.

Look, we know that in the middle of a Friday night rush, the last thing you want to deal with is a loose string or a bow that keeps coming undone. Our No-Tie aprons are perfect for those who hate fuss. Instead of traditional strings, we developed a proprietary clasp-and-ring system (or heavy-duty buckles) that lets you fasten your apron in a snap.

It’s practical, it’s fast, and let’s be honest—it looks way cooler than a floppy bow behind your back. It’s the kind of advanced, comfortable design that has kept us at the top of the market for a decade.

High Quality, No "Bar Tax"

The EBS guide points out something crucial: you don’t need to spend $100+ to get professional-grade gear.

Most "luxury" apron brands charge you for the name. We charge you for the engineering. At around $35, our aprons provide the same industrial-strength reinforcement and premium hardware as the "boutique" brands, but at a price that actually fits a bartender's budget.

The Verdict from the Pros

When a global authority like EBS—who trains thousands of bartenders every year—gives you a double shoutout, it’s not an accident. It’s a testament to a decade of making gear that actually works.
