Wet Bar Cabinets

Wet bar cabinet’s serve us during times of relaxation and entertainment. They hold our wine, whiskey, and beer as well as the vessels we serve them in. The wet bar is usually located in the media room or just off the family/living room providing easy access to thirsty folks. An additional sink allows us to wash up without moving dirty glasses to the kitchen. Wine coolers and icemakers can be placed to provide even more convenience.

The wet bar should include a bar of course with stools for seating, this should be raised to 42″ so standing is an option too. The work area is 36″ high by 24″ deep, which is standard for kitchen cabinet’s also. A decorative mirror can be added to provide an elegant and eye catching effect. Wine racks with wineglass holders can add character to any wet bar Glass shelves rather than wood can give your wet bar the added touch you are searching for.

A butler’s pantry can be added to any home providing a small wet bar These are usually placed between the kitchen and the dining room and include 1 or 2 cabinets but no seating area. This is a great place to store your party favorites so they don’t clutter up the kitchen cabinets. These can also include a sink and wine rack to serve beverages to family and guests.

Outdoor wet bars are usually combined into outdoor kitchens, which offer a great place to enjoy the weather and entertain at the same time. These cabinets are made from durable material such as redwoods so as to withstand the weather and hold up for years. Include a TV and you will find this is a great place to be on any sunny day.

Building a Wet Bar – Fun and Functional

It used to be that only the elite homes in your neighborhood had a wet bar, they were an extravagant luxury for those who had a little more cash to burn. But now you see homeowners taking it up a notch and installing these bars in a wide variety of middle class homes. If you’re thinking of adding this to your home’s decor, know that you have a wide variety of options, from built in to free standing units, small kitchens all the way up to large entertainment areas.

Some people prefer the bar to be out of the way, an unseen asset to the room that’s mostly hidden. Others would rather dually feature the home theater area and the adjoining wet bar in order to combine the viewing and eating experiences. Whichever you prefer, you’ll want to carefully plan the flow of traffic around the bar, not only walking traffic but where you would put any bar stools for seating. Due to the amount of plumbing involved in the function of a wet bar, it’s not easy to move it if you decide later that you don’t like how things look or function.

A few things you’ll want to consider would be lighting, counter space, room for any appliances (generally not a stove, but definitely a small refrigerator and freezer, sink area, and storage for glasses and standard bar essentials. Some people like to feature their more expensive glassware and alcohol so open cabinet designs are an option. A truly open bar area would be placed away from the wall so the food preparation area is able to view the TV and main seating area. This allows the cook and bartender to be part of the evening’s entertainment as well. Most bars would have a countertop that hangs over enough to allow for 2 to 4 simple bar stools to be placed with plenty of leg room and seating area to have a comfortable place to eat.

Our website focuses on the seating options for wet bars including wooden barstools and leather barstools. For more information please visit the links to our site.
