A bar faucet is a smaller faucet for a wet bar, island prep sink or butler’s pantry. Kohler’s bar faucets share a 1.5 gpm flow rate, ceramic disc valves and temperature memory, so the choice comes down to whether you want a pull-down sprayer, how far the spout reaches, and how many holes your sink or counter has.
Kohler Simplice K-22034: simple single-hole bar faucet
Choose the Simplice K-22034 for a straightforward single-hole bar faucet. Kohler’s spec sheet (resources.kohler.com) lists a single-handle bar sink faucet with a high-arch swing spout that rotates 180°, a 7-1/4-inch spout reach, Kohler ceramic disc valves, temperature memory, 1.5 gpm maximum at 60 psi, premium metal construction, single-hole installation and flexible supply lines. The drawing shows about 13 inches of overall height and 3/8-inch compression fittings.
Kohler says the high-arch spout gives clearance for filling pitchers and chilling bottles. The sheet lists four finishes: polished chrome, Vibrant Stainless, matte black and Vibrant Brushed Moderne Brass.

Kohler Simplice K-649: pull-down sprayer for a prep sink
Choose the Simplice K-649 if your bar or prep sink needs a real sprayer. Kohler’s spec sheet (resources.kohler.com) lists a pull-down bar sink faucet with a three-function sprayhead (stream, Sweep spray and Boost, which Kohler says raises flow by 30% at the press of a button), DockNetik magnetic docking, ProMotion braided hose, a MasterClean sprayface that resists mineral buildup, a high-arch gooseneck spout with 360° rotation, an 8-inch spout reach, ceramic disc valves, temperature memory and 1.5 gpm at 60 psi.
It is a two-hole faucet: the spout and a separate handle, which Kohler calls a remote valve configuration so the handle can go where it is easy to reach. The drawing shows about 14-3/4 inches of overall height. Kohler notes the ADA listing covers the faucet handles only. The sheet lists Vibrant Stainless and matte black.
On October 15, 2026, the standard new offer sold by eFaucets showed limited stock with model 649-VS.

Kohler Artifacts K-99264: traditional styling
Choose the Artifacts K-99264 for a traditional-looking single-hole faucet at bar-sink size. Kohler’s spec sheet (resources.kohler.com) calls it a single-handle kitchen sink faucet, with a high-arch spout that rotates 360°, a 7-inch spout reach, ceramic disc valves, a single lever handle, temperature memory, 1.5 gpm at 60 psi and flexible connections. The drawing shows about 13 inches of overall height.
Its short reach is what suits it to a bar or prep sink, and Amazon lists it as a bar sink faucet. Kohler lists an extension kit, 1012715, with a 3-1/4 to 5-3/8-inch range on the sheet, for thicker decks. Finishes on the sheet include polished chrome, Vibrant Polished Nickel, Vibrant Stainless, oil-rubbed bronze and Vibrant Brushed Moderne Brass.
On October 15, 2026, the standard new offer sold by eFaucets showed limited stock with model 99264-2MB, Vibrant Brushed Moderne Brass.

Spout reach and sink size
Bar sinks are small, so spout reach matters. Kohler lists 7 inches for the Artifacts, 7-1/4 for the Simplice K-22034 and 8 for the pull-down K-649. Measure from the faucet hole to the middle of the bowl; a spout that reaches too far splashes onto the back of a small bowl, and one that falls short leaves the stream at the edge.
Also check the swing. The K-22034 swings 180°, enough to cover a single bowl, while the K-649 and K-99264 rotate a full 360°.
Holes, supplies and filtration
The K-22034 and K-99264 need one hole; the K-649 needs two, one for the spout and one for the handle. All three connect with flexible supplies and 3/8-inch compression fittings. Kohler lists its filtration systems and replacement cartridges as optional accessories on all three sheets; those are separate products, and this guide does not cover filtered water.
Kohler lists a 1.5 gpm aerator kit (1054432) for the K-22034 and K-99264 if you ever need to replace the aerator, and its faucet cleaner for all three. All three sheets list the KOHLER Faucet Lifetime Limited Warranty and certification to ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1; see Kohler’s website for warranty details.
Installing a bar faucet
Most bar faucet swaps are a short job if the sink already has the right holes. Turn off the hot and cold stops under the sink, disconnect the old supply lines and remove the old faucet. All three Kohler faucets come with flexible supply lines that end in 3/8-inch compression fittings, the common size for under-sink stops; if your stops are old or seized, replace them first. Our under-sink shutoff valve guide covers stops, and our braided supply line guide covers lines if you need longer ones.
For the two-hole K-649, decide where the handle goes before drilling a counter; Kohler’s remote valve design lets it sit beside the spout rather than on it. After installing, turn the water on slowly, check each connection for drips, and run the faucet to clear any debris from the aerator or sprayhead.
Which Kohler bar faucet should you buy?
For a wet bar where you mostly fill glasses and rinse bar tools, the Simplice K-22034 does the job with the fewest parts. For an island prep sink where you wash produce or rinse pans, the pull-down K-649 earns its extra hole. For a traditional kitchen, the Artifacts matches classic fixtures. For more brands, see our bar sink faucet guide; for the sink itself, our Kohler bar sink guide; and for full-size Kohler faucets, our Kohler kitchen faucet guide.

How we chose
This document-based guide makes no hands-on testing claim. We read and rendered Kohler’s spec sheets for the K-22034, K-649 and K-99264. On October 15, 2026, we checked each linked standard new Amazon offer for model, seller, stock and an add-to-cart button. The Tone K-23767 was left out because the Amazon part number did not match, and Kohler beverage faucets were left out because they are for filtered drinking water.
