Barfly Bar Strainer, 18-8, Antique Copper Review

Broke after two shifts in a busy bar. Ring that holds the spring is attached to the handle by one flimsy weld it seems. Would not recommend.

I bought this Classic Hawthorne strainer from Barfly to replace a lesser quality julep strainer and I am beyond happy with the purchase. This replaced a julep strainer with a weak weld between the handle and the bowl which broke when I was shaking off excess water. I never have to worry about the Barfly strainer breaking. This is one solid piece of metal, no weld at all! It fits into all of my mixing glasses and shaker tins. It is functional and beautiful. I'd highly recommend this product.

This is not the cheapest cocktail strainer you can find on Ebay, but for the quality it's a good deal. Very solidly made and very functional. It will get the job done in style.

This Barfly M37071 Bar Strainer in Stainless Steel is an excellent strainer by a reputable company w great products in my experience. This Hawthorne-style strainer is a heavy gauge of stainless steel, with easily removable coil for cleaning, and has a snug, conforming fit atop my various mixing tins. The finger gate lever is also convenient to reach and press, to easily control the flow of liquids to solids into the glass. Overall, this is a beautiful device, and feels more durable than many I…

I thought that with the picture it’d come as one piece but when I received the strainer it was two separate pieces and they don’t stay together at all. Cool strainer for at home use but takes too long messing with it to work right for it to work on a commercial setting.

Used this julip strainer for over a year. Dropped it once and it broke. If not for that, it wad a great strainer but can't recommend because of the durability issue.

Strainer has a great feel and weight to it. Just as easy to stick in the dishwasher as it is to hand wash. The color is absolutely gorgeous and looks great with the whole barfly set. Kind of makes you look like an actual person who knows what they're doing.

I got the gold one. Quality is immediately recognizable, as it's a bit thicker than the bargain versions, and the springs are tighter together meaning that they will capture more ice chips, pulp, etc. Fits onto a mixing glass with a satisfying "thwap", and you can pour confidently knowing it will stay put. It's going to cost you more than a cheap one, but if you've got the money and are serious about your mixology hobby, i think you will really be happy. Range of colour choices is great too.
