About PoolBar™

PoolBar™ is redefining poolside hospitality with the world’s first inflatable luxury swim-up bar — a patented, portable, high-margin asset for resorts, hotels, cruise lines, and luxury residential venues.

Built from militarygrade dropstitch material with a premium matte finish, the PoolBar™ system enables venues to create a “resort within a resort” experience, without planning permission, construction, or downtime. Bars inflate in 15 minutes, allowing hotels to begin generating revenue almost immediately.

Alongside the flagship PoolBar™, the company is launching high-volume inflatable Event Bars — container-optimised products for retail, rental, and distributor markets.

PoolBar™ is raising £250k with SEIS treatment.

Market & Opportunity

The global hospitality sector includes 130,000+ beachfront resorts and hotels, generating £5–7B annually from daytime cabana rentals. Yet these highvalue spaces sit idle at night.

PoolBar™ unlocks a second revenue cycle by transforming pools into premium evening venues — doubling utilisation and enabling: 

  • Elevated guest experiences
  • Premium pricing
  • Increased dwell time
  • Higher F&B revenue
