Everything You Need for Your Home Bar

A home bar is ideal for those who love entertaining. Whether you set one up on your patio near your braai, make space in your dining room or even create a dedicated space for parties and get-togethers, you will need a few things to get your home bar set up. Keep reading to find out what you’ll need to get started.

Setting Up a Home Bar

The first thing you will need is the bar itself. You can look at investing in a proper bar or you can use kitchen counters, tables and other surfaces and storage. A reception desk can double up as a great bar, too. Once you have somewhere to store your various bottles securely, you can move on to fitting out your home bar with everything else.

Cooling

You will need a way to keep drinks cool. There are a few options to choose from for cooling. You could choose a bar fridge, which is small and compact. You could consider a regular fridge and freezer combo if you want space for ice and drinks, and perhaps snacks. You could go for something stylish, such as a wine and beverage cooler, which displays bottles through a glass door. 

Seating

Next, you will need seating. Assuming you have a traditional bar, bar stools are the way to go. There are a variety of styles to choose from to suit every budget. You can also set up a small cocktail table with chairs to create a relaxed seating area. Picnic benches are a good choice if your bar is set up on a covered patio. 

Accessories

Then, you can start adding to your bar with a few key appliances, glassware and accessories. A blender will come in handy if you want to make cocktails. Ice buckets, drinks stands, butler bar sets, and other bar and party accessories will add the final touch. Add some decor to personalise your bar and you’ll be set to enjoy parties with friends and family.
