Company Overview

Specializing in hand tools for the bartender, Spill-Stop has been dedicated to making high quality bar supplies since 1935. We offer a wide range of bar supplies & our pourers are widely regarded as the most popular in the industry. We are the original makers of the 285-50 Chrome Tapered Free Pourer, which is made in our factory outside of Chicago. Spill-Stop means quality & we are dedicated to equipping the world’s bartenders with high-quality tools they’ve relied on to execute their craft for generations.

Our History

Founded in 1935 by Fritz Katsky, Spill-Stop has a rich history. In 1945, Daniel Silverstein, who had experience in hotel management, joined as a minority partner, acquiring the company in 1951. His son, Bob Silverstein, began his journey with Spill-Stop as a teenager, running Spill-Stop from 1977 to 2024.  Today, Spill-Stop continues its mission to bring high quality “hand tools for the bartender” to the world.

Product Offerings

Spill-Stop offers a comprehensive range of bar supplies, specifically designed as "hand tools for the bartender." Our product lineup includes:

Stainless steel accessories

  • Additional items like serving trays, beer pitchers, condiment containers, and cocktail picks.

Commitment to Quality

At Spill-Stop, we take pride in producing high-quality bar supplies using only the finest materials while maintaining competitive pricing. Our pourers have gained such popularity that competitors have attempted to replicate them overseas. However, these imported copies do not meet our stringent quality standards and cannot match the performance of our original products. Notably, the Flair Bartenders' Association (FBA) as well as several international restaurant chains mandate the use of our #285-50 Chrome Tapered Pourer across their enterprises.

We continually invest in research and development to enhance our product offerings and meet evolving industry demands. Our commitment to innovation ensures that we stay ahead of trends while maintaining sustainability practices throughout our manufacturing processes. We prioritize eco-friendly materials and efficient production methods to minimize our environmental footprint.
