Creating or adding to a home bar is always a fun experience. You can make this area of your home as unique as yours! However, there are a few home bar essentials that everyone should have. It doesn’t matter if you’re starting your home bar or have had one for decades; these are the tools, glassware, or decor that you must have to call your home bar completed!
Your bar needs to be stocked with tools, decor, and liquor. So make sure your bar is as fun or badass looking as you want and has every tool you could ever need for any drink you may have to make!
1. Bar Glasses (Martini Glasses and Wine Glasses)
Whether you’re making a martini, a Bloody Mary, or a glass of wine, you’ll need glasses to serve it. Depending on your home bar, you may want to choose different glassware. Bar glasses are generally smaller than your everyday glasses or wine glasses. But, it’s a matter of preference. If you’re a wine connoisseur, you might be more comfortable with a wine glass. Or, if you’re a gin and tonic drinker, you might want something taller and more narrow. It’s really up to you!
2. Bar Tools Set
Your bar tools are what you need to make all of your drinks. Bottle openers, muddlers, stirrers, cup measures, sugar packets, and more are what you’ll need to make all the drinks you could make. You can even get fancy and have a set of bar tools for each kind of liquor, like one bar tool set for whiskey, one for rum, one for gin, and so on. Make your bar tools set specific to your favourite drink or keep it simple.
3. Bar Cart
Many call this a rolling bar cart, but it’s simply a wheeled liquor cart with a shelf. This is one of the necessities for every home bar. You can use it to move your liquor from one place to another, serve drinks on it, or just have it as a beautiful and functional piece for your home bar. This is a must-have for any home bar!
4. Bar Furniture
What kind of furniture you want to use for your home bar is entirely up to you. You can use a bar cabinet to make it so nothing can move around and spill onto the counter. You can also use a metal rack or an old dresser for extra storage. There really is no limit to what you can do with your home bar furniture. A bar cabinet would suit your bar tools, glasses, and liquor bottles. But, it’s completely up to you. Your home bar is all about you and your personal preference of what you want it to look and feel like!
5. Liquor
You’ll want to make sure you have enough of certain liquors. You might want only one type of liquor or have a variety. But you’ll want to ensure you have plenty of beer and wine. You don’t have to have the most expensive liquor at your home bar, but you want to ensure you have enough of the quality you like. Don’t worry; you can always purchase more if you need it.
Conclusion
A home bar is a great way to add that touch of class and sophistication to your home. So, it’s okay to want one. Make sure you have the right furniture, tools, and liquor to make it the bar you want!
