Holidays & Entertaining

The plywood is placed on top and you can either add a countertop or use pavers for the top section, as shown on projects.truevalue. The easiest way to build an outdoor bar is by using two wooden pallets. Make sure they have the same dimensions and also get some plywood, a drill, a few screws, and some glue ready. The pallets need to be arranged vertically and they serve as a bar for bar. This bar cart has its own cooler but it keeps it hidden underneath the wooden top.
How to Build a DIY Bar
Why only settle for a bar cart when you can have a whole tasting room?

This type of setup also prevents glass vessels from easily being knocked over by those walking by.
Limes, lemons, and oranges are all nice and vibrant but also come in handy when mixing up cocktails. If you don't use your bar supplies often but are looking for a colorful accent, you can always go the fake fruit route, too. A side table filled with books still has a bit of room to spare, and thus makes for a fantastic spot to set up a drink station, too. A luxe looking display that makes us want to curl up with an engaging read and a fancy cocktail. Anchor and kettle on the marble workspace, organize coffee pods and tea bags in a narrow drawer, and nestle canisters of sugar and ground blends into cubby hole shelves.

The hidden bar features wood cabinets, a beverage fridge, a beige countertop, and glossy white and beige backsplash tiles. The high-end materials elevate this small contemporary bar and serve an elegant look. The roughly textured glazed surface of the bronze backsplash tile creates a unique and eye-catching look between the black cabinets.

The gold chandelier creates a focal point between the upper cabinets and highlights the beautiful backsplash tile. In this small home bar, white cabinets are fitted with the quartz countertop and a beverage fridge.
The brown onyx countertop and wood backsplash complete the cabinetry perfectly. The black home bar tucked under an arch provides an elegant place for making a drink. The all-black furniture of the bar creates strong contrast with the white arched wall. The backsplash is a custom blend of non-iridescent and iridescent black glass which provides a stunning backdrop for the beverage collection. The built-in black wine racks blend beautifully with the backsplash. The bar counter is finished with brown leather counter chairs and highlighted by bubble pendants.
The natural wood bar is paired with a granite countertop which is raised on the sitting side. Gray shaker cabinets are also paired with the same countertops and include drawers, bar cooler, and wine rack. Choose a cozy corner of your kitchen or dining room and build your own ultimate coffee station.
It’s not just an outdoor table and it’s more practical than you might first realize.

A dose of cocktail-hour frivolity reigns in this New York apartment designed by Chiqui Woolworth, thanks to the cabana-striped “tenting” that drapes the bar and its slim swinging doors. The atmosphere of the bar can be created with the help of accessories - a cabinet made of boards from wine boxes and a container for wine corks. Well, a real sea wolf will fit a cabinet-ship, on the deck of which you can place utensils, and in the lower compartment - alcohol supplies.
