Home bars used to be a bottle on a shelf and a couple of mismatched glasses. Now? People want swagger. Style. A space that feels like their own private cocktail lounge.
And nothing screams “this is my place” louder than a personalised neon bar sign — made just for you, your bar, your kitchen counter, your garden shed pub, or your man-sorry, gentleman’s* lounge.
At Smithers, we’ve been crafting neon signs for over a decade — from small home bars to full commercial installations in pubs, restaurants, tattoo studios and nightclubs. Real-glass neon, LED neon, bespoke fonts, custom colours, and handcrafted finishes. If you can dream it, we can turn it into glowing artwork.
Why Everyone’s Ordering Personalised Neon Bar Signs
✅ Your bar becomes a vibe
A neon sign instantly turns a simple drinks corner into a destination.
Picture: dim lighting, glass clinks, your favourite track playing, and a glowing sign saying “THE COCKTAIL CLUB” or your surname in bold script. Instant atmosphere.
✅ Name it anything you like
• “Mike’s Whiskey Den”
• “The Gin Palace”
• “Lisa’s Lounge Bar”
• “LET’S GET LIT”
• Or something wildly inappropriate — we don’t judge.
✅ Perfect for garden bars and converted sheds
The amount of garden pub conversions happening in the UK right now is unreal. Nothing finishes it off better than a custom neon above the bar.
✅ It’s art and lighting in one
Your neon becomes the centrepiece. Cameras love it, guests love it, your Instagram loves it.
LED or Real Glass? We Make Both

How Much Does a Personalised Neon Bar Sign Cost?
Small LED custom signs usually start from around £140–£180, depending on size, font, and layout.
Gas neon, because it’s handmade glasswork with real argon and neon gas, starts from around £500 for a small custom piece and can go up to £1,800 for larger commercial designs, logos, or multi-colour artwork. Gas neon is the real deal — richer colour, deeper glow, and perfect for pubs, restaurants, barber shops, and speakeasy-style home bars.
