The Best Bar Carts for Style, Function, and Glamour

Material: Wood and steel | Dimensions: 24.4 x 15.75 x 34.65 inches

This simple cart from Williams Sonoma may match many different decor types, and bar carts should be versatile and sleek. The streamlined design is chic yet functional thanks to a roomy three-tiered shelving system that can accommodate both tall liquor bottles and wrought iron slots for safely storing wine bottles and wine or martini glasses.

The cart has four wheels for increased portability and can be locked in place when not in use. The lips on both the top and bottom tier ensure nothing rolls off, keeping bottles, glassware, and accessories in place while the cart is moving. The top tier is removable and can be used as a serving tray for further usefulness.

Finally, the wood and steel design makes cleaning easy: wipe down any spills or splatter with a damp towel.

Material: Rattan | Dimensions: 34 x 18x 32 inches

Bar carts are as much a decorative feature as they are a piece of functional storage, and this rattan cart has a distinct style that makes it an appealing addition to any dining room or living room. The cart is made of 100% rattan and is sturdy and durable, with broad looped handles that are easy to manage. When not in use, the four wheels lock into place, simultaneously making it portable and stable.

Another essential component in bar carts? “You need things to have defined grooves to fit in so that nothing moves around on the top or bottom racks as it rolls,” Wainwright adds. This rack has six slots that securely hold bottles upright, eliminating the possibility of tipping over and spilling or shattering. The top and bottom racks are large enough to hold many bottles, accessories, and glasses, and the rattan is a natural material that is easy to clean with soap and water. Remember that this cart lacks a drawer for storing accessories and a specific wine or martini glass holder.

When filling an outdoor bar cart, Wainwright thinks ensuring it’s genuinely designed for outdoor use is critical. “I can’t tell you how many warped, rusted, cracking bar carts I have seen in my life,” he continues. The Permasteel 80-quart Patio Cooler is made of powder-coated steel, making it long-lasting and resistant to wind, rain, and sun. It has four wheels, making it easy to transport about your patio or yard, and they effortlessly lock in place for increased stability. In addition to durability, Wainwright emphasizes that every outdoor bar cart must have a solution for keeping drinks cold, reducing the number of trips you need to make back and forth to your refrigerator. He argues that a big unsightly ice bucket on top of your elegantly designed bar cart or a bar cart that leaks water every time it moves is the last thing you want. This option includes an insulated cooler that can hold up to 110 cans, keeping you stocked all day.

In addition, it has a sturdy bottom rack for keeping additional cases of beer or liquor. The outside includes a built-in bottle opener with a cap catcher for added practicality. Though this cart is fantastic for casual picnics, remember there is little space to prepare complex cocktails. There is no drawer to keep accessories organized and dry, and the surface is a hinged door that opens to the cooler.

Consider the Domestic MoBar 550s for a complete bar setup that any professional bartender would envy. This serious gimmick is more than just a bar cart—it is a fully-equipped mobile bar designed for use at home. Unlike most ordinary alternatives, this cart includes a full wine refrigerator that can hold up to 39 bottles and LED lighting makes it easy to view inside without opening the door. It has a barware cabinet to keep supplies organized and a retractable speed rail for easy access to spirits. A roomy top shelf features an insulated ice bucket and a workbench with a serving tray and oak prep board.

Electric controls allow for precise temperature regulation—you can choose a temperature ranging from 36 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. This implies that this bar can hold both ice-cold vodka and flawlessly cooled pinot noir at the same time. The large workstation has a prep board for quickly cutting citrus and other cocktail garnishes, and the steel serving tray has handles for added convenience.

Despite its size and bulk, this device is supported by four wheels, two of which lock to keep it securely in place.

Material: Glass and steel| Dimensions: 40 x 16 x 37.4

This modern piece is chic and streamlined, with space for eight stemmed wine glasses and four bottles of wine. It has four tiers that help keep bottles, glassware, and accessories neatly organized. The simple yet elegant glass and aluminum construction allows it to blend in with various design styles and color palettes.

The four levels have a mirrored-glass finish that makes it easy to wipe down when necessary. Use a basic glass cleaner or moist towel to wipe down any spills, dust, or splatter. This cart has four lockable wheels and a built-in handle that may be used as a towel holder.

Material: Iron and tempered glass | Dimensions: 29.6 x 16.5 x 29.8

Round bar carts are fantastic for smaller areas because they’re an easy way to save floor space. This wheeled cart has been thoughtfully designed to optimize storage space. Three tiers provide ample surface area for storing bottles and glasses. At the same time, a towel rack allows you to hang wipe cloths and lock-in wheels for convenience, and the top and bottom tiers include lips to prevent bottles and glassware from tipping over the edges. Choose between two classic colors: gunmetal gray and gold, which can readily integrate with many decor styles and color palettes.

Material: Tempered glass and metal | Dimensions: 34.65 x 15.75 x 36.61
