36 inch bar stools are the standard for all bars that stand 44-46 inches high in all hospitality establishments or even in some homes with tall breakfast bars. The typical size of bar stools that we are more commonly familiar with tend to be 24 inch stools which fit the normal 34-36 inch table or bar. The other size that we see repeatedly is the 42 inch high cooking or work surface which requires a 30 inch bar stool.
