Specializing in hand tools for the bartender, Spill-Stop has been dedicated to making high quality bar supplies since 1935.

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.

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.
Innovation and Sustainability
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.
