You would use a masonry bit and masonry anchors.

I'm not so sure about the idea of a faux apron sink. I'd need to see a better picture

Also, I'd try to do a mock up first, to see if having to stand out from the sink due to the towel bar would be uncomfortable.

I'm glad I read here. Thanks. That would have been perfect for this job:

I'm not understanding the point to a fake farmhouse sink. Especially since the Whitehaven is retrofitable.

I want a double basin stainless sink for practical reasons, but don't want to add any more highly visible stainless than my appliances already will bring. Plus, I'll get a stone sink look at a significantly lower price point than the actual thing.

Trebruchet, that is some amazing repair work!

Thanks.

That towel bar looks really uncomfortable. I'd sure want to try one out before I committed to one. I have a farm sink and you stand right up against the sink. With the towel bar there, I'd think it would be digging into you.

One of the most dysfunctional ideas ever. And if you want a farm sink, get a farm sink. Fake just for show is pretty darn silly.

I agree the 4" protrusion of a regular towel bar might be uncomfortable. I guess I should have specified that by towel bar I mean to use an appliance pull. Won't stick out any farther than a regular cabinet pull. I guess it might be uncomfortable if I pressed my belly up against it, but I've always found that that's a good way to get your shirt wet at a sink, so I don't.

It seems to me to be the most convenient location to hang towels. My kids will be able to reach it. I won't drip across the floor to get to a towel somewhere else. No drips on my stainless appliances from hanging one on them. I don't have filler space for a pull out, and those look like more work to keep clean anyways. In theory the stone/quartz apron will also resist water better than towels hanging directly against a wood cabinet.

I am open to any suggestions for a more functional place to hang my dish towels.

This is the best photo of the kitchen with the faux farmhouse sink that inspired me that I could find online. I wish it showed the sink better. I didn't realize it wasn't a farm sink until I read the description.:
