An outdoor bar is the perfect idea for those long summer days
Multifunctional outdoor bar ideas
If you are not willing to commit to an entire outdoor kitchen, a multifunctional bar might be the next best thing. Separate an area in your garden with some nice stone tiles on the floor, then add a free standing bar. Add a gas grill to add to the bar experience and be able to feed your guests while sipping on cocktails. What’s more, a sink added to the bar is a must have. Otherwise you will need to go in and out of your house to just wash your hands. And by now we all know how important it is to wash your hands. Add some seating for extra comfort and your bar is all done!

Set up a bar cart
Not everyone is blessed with a large garden with lots of space. So, if you are not one of the fortunate ones, you might be thinking that a garden bar is not for you. We are here to prove you wrong, however. Any back yard will have space for a cute bar cart. What’s more, you can totally DIY a bar, especially if you have wooden pallets or crates at your disposal. Another option is to turn an old dresser or cabinet into a bar. Then, decorate it with a few potted plants and just add the liquor.

Create the whole bar experience in your back yard
Now if you are someone who loves to throw house parties, this idea is just for you. If you have a more secluded area in your garden, why not turn it into a full on bar experience? Add a bar with shelves, stools and everything a bar needs. Then, add a lounge area where your guests can chat and enjoy the drinks you made for them. Furthermore, if you want those parties to go on all night long, add a fire pit so that you can also keep your guests warm and comfortable. Decorate with lanterns, string lights or solar lamps for the perfect ambience.

Take the bar with you around the garden
Nothing beats the practicality of a bar trolley. A small trolley on wheels makes for the perfect bar on the move. If you have a big garden with different separated areas, such as swimming pool, outdoor kitchen and lounge area, a bar trolley would be perfect. Just make sure it is stocked with everything you need for a good cocktail – liquor, ice, limes and glasses and you are all set. What’s more, place it at an arm’s length, so that you don’t even have to get up from your seat or even move in order to make yourself a cocktail or pour yourself a drink.
A bar trolley is definitely the most practical idea we are going to share with you
Wall-mounted outdoor bar ideas that don’t take up any space
No space, no problem. These awesome wall-mounted bars are such a practical idea for any small back yard. What’s more, you can try and recreate the idea yourself. All you need is a wood pallet, a couple of chains which are going to hold the bar together and that’s it. Then all that’s left to do is attach it to your wall securely and stock it up with nice wine and liquor. Of course, you can choose if you want it to have more storage space, so that you can keep bottles and glasses inside when it’s closed. On the other hand, you can leave it empty, decorate it with plants and use it as a place for your guests to leave their glasses.
Not enough space for a bar? No problem!
Outdoor kitchen serving as a bar

Especially, if you are into sports. After all, is there anything better than recreating a sports bar experience in your own back yard?
