Measuring 518 feet long with 17 stations and 202 seats, the bar at the recently opened Humble Baron, a bar, restaurant and entertainment venue situated on the property of Nearest Green Distillery in Shelbyville, TN, is the current record holder of the longest permanent continuous bar in the world by Guinness World Records. Templated and installed by Celtic Marble & Granite of Murfreesboro, TN, the bar – made of quartz from Daltile – beat an almost 25-year-old record title by more than 100 feet.

Joe Upshaw, general manager of Celtic Marble & Granite, explained that the owners of Humble Baron approached Celtic about the project, clearly explaining their intention of having the world’s longest bar. “I told them I needed to see some drawings first to see what we were getting into,” said Upshaw. “I looked at it and thought it would be fun. It seemed like a challenge.”

Liberty Black quartz from Daltile was chosen for its dramatic marble design and classic black-and-white color combination, as well as its ability to provide durability, hygienic benefits and consistency required for an application such as this.

While several different materials were considered, the final decision was to use Liberty Black quartz from Daltile. “Besides the dramatic marble design and classic black-and-white color combination, Liberty Black quartz provides durability, hygienic benefits and consistency required for an application such as this,” said Roy Viana, Dal-Tile Corp. director natural stone & slab.
