With warm weather and the comfort of enjoying and entertaining in your backyard, outdoor bars have become the must-have installation. The benefit of an outdoor bar is that there is no set way that you have to use it. The sky's the limit. Feel like an evening of relaxed cocktails, hosting a family event, or just spending a night at the bar enjoying a good meal with friends? An outdoor bar gives you all the options.

Before You Buy

There are numerous choices when it comes to the style and functionality of an outdoor bar. Before you buy, consider your budget, the space that you are looking to fill, who you are hoping to entertain, and lastly, and most importantly, what type of environment would you like to relax in?

Features to Consider

First and foremost, you need to consider what you are looking for. Would you like an outdoor bar with seating, an outdoor island bar, or an outdoor portable bar? They are each unique in their own way.

• Outdoor bars with seating can vary in size, but provide the comfort of sitting down to relax and have a drink and a meal.
• An outdoor island bar can be an ideal style for those who are looking for - or already have - an outdoor kitchen. You have your area to prep all your entertainment needs all in one.
• Also consider when selecting an outdoor bar to go with a portable version. This is beneficial when space is a concern, or when you are living in areas where weather changes are more drastic. Then there is less worry when it comes to protecting and prolonging the lifespan of your outdoor bar.

Once you've gotten an idea of what size you are looking for, consider installation. Selecting the right size for an outdoor bar or kitchen also hinges on how you plan to install it.

Will you use professional installation? Or are you going to do it yourself? This impacts what style you should consider when crafting your dream backyard. Depending on your experience, outdoor bars require an electric outdoor circuit.

• When located close to the house, it is possible to run a cord directly from the house. This is also how portable outdoor bars run.
• Larger outdoor bars and bars that are located further away, or around water features need to be run off of their circuits.

You also need to consider if you are looking for a model that has plumbing or the need to have gas installed in it. Many outdoor bars can feature sinks as well as stoves for outdoor cooking.

The materials of the bar are important to consider as well. When blending with hardscaping - or in a garden setting, there are a few popular choices to make a selection from:

• Outdoor wooden bars are sturdy and make great options for outdoor bars that accommodate seating. They do require weather proofing and regular maintenance depending on your environment.
• Outdoor wicker bars can be made from bamboo, rattan, or willow. For routine cleaning, they need to be wiped down and vacuumed to prevent dust from gathering in the wicker.

Types of Outdoor Bars

Next, consider the specific types of outdoor bar styles and how to pick the one that would be the best fit for you. Consider these things:

• An outdoor island bar is a structure that is installed. These can range in size and often include an outdoor cooking area.
• Outdoor wicker bars are durable bars that are usually made to be portable. They offer durability and a unique touch to any yard or patio with wicker construction.
• An outdoor wooden bar can have the same feel as the classic bar. These can vary in size from a more permanent installation to a bar that could be relocated or placed in an area where there might not be much space available.

How to Choose an Outside Bar

What sort of atmosphere are you looking to create? With so many options to choose from with the design and material that goes into it, it comes down to what area you are looking to install your bar in and the size that you feel you need. Don’t forget:

• You need to take into consideration all aspects of the budget when selecting an outside bar. Once you figure out your budget, then you can dive into style. Remember, depending on the size, location, and need for use, there might be the need for extra installation that might not have been considered beforehand.
• With so many styles and materials, thinking of what type of environment that you are developing is important. Unless selecting a small or portable outside bar, it is a long term commitment.
