Wet and dry bars are excellent home additions for entertaining purposes because they contain storage and counter space. Both types of bars provide space to store drinks, dishes, snacks and other entertaining supplies so you can easily reach what you need.
Having what you need close by is convenient when you spend time with family or friends in your basement gathering space because you can avoid walking back and forth between your kitchen and your basement. While wet and dry bars both enhance basement spaces, wet bars add a little extra convenience. The main difference between a wet bar and a dry bar is that a wet bar includes a water source to accommodate fixtures such as a sink, dishwasher or ice maker.
Another difference between wet bars and dry bars is that wet bars require different parts for installation. Adding a water source to a bar requires a drainage system to effectively move used water out of the home. A high-quality drainage system makes it possible to add a wet bar with convenient water fixtures to a basement.
