If you fancy yourself a fine host or hostess and love to entertain, one sure guest pleaser is a home bar. This can be built and installed in the room you use most for entertaining, including an outside patio or cabana for pool parties in warm weather.
You can actually build a portable bar that can be used indoors in many rooms and push it outdoors when the weather calls for it. Bars are usually made from wood or bamboo. The bamboo particularly lends itself to a tropical island bar style. Another good idea is to build a bar as a counter in the room used for entertaining and then use it for all sorts of things like a bar, a buffet table or just an extra table.
Wood Counter Height Stools
You can store your bar glasses and alcohol in a cupboard underneath the counter so that it is out of the way until you want to use it as a bar. When you have children it is probably the best to keep these items hidden away.
The very first concern in your bar building project is measurements. Of course you will measure it for the space in which it will spend most of its time, but also don't forget counter height measurements for bar stool sitting comfort and the height of the bar must allow for the bartender to comfortably stand, mix and serve.
These are items that you will have to get for your bar at home. Bar stools are perhaps the most obvious. Then you will also have to get special bar glasses that you keep just for use at the bar. These should include glasses for each type of alcohol you are going to serve or that you drink. You should have whiskey glasses, martini glasses, wine glasses, beer glasses, sherry glasses and perhaps even champagne glasses.
Other items that you will need at your bar include bottle openers, a lined bin, ash trays if you smoke, cocktail shakers and sticks, ice and an ice bucket, bottle stoppers, and you can also have straws for certain drinks. If you want to make drinks like Dom Pedro's you will also want to get a small bar fridge.
In the refrigerator, you can also stock ice cream, milk and cream for those drinks requiring such ingredients. It is important too that your bar fits in with your lifestyle and the decor of your home.
A great way of doing this is to treat your bar like a second kitchen. You can have a sink to wash up in, as well as snack dishes and such in the cupboards. If your bar is located closer to outside or on your enclosed patio, then you can also keep all your outdoor cushions there along with pool accessories and barbecue items.
You need to start with a plan of how you want the bar to look, what size it should be and whether it is to be stationary or have the option of portability for use in any room and outdoors as well as indoors. With a clear vision in mind, you will find it much easier to begin the project and finish it within a reasonable amount of time. Cheers!
