To make the best choice of home bar, you'll first have to have a basic understanding of the types and styles of bars available. Let's take a look at the most common styles available.
Bar Cabinet
A bar cabinet is a convenient way to transform any room into a functional bar or serving area. Bar cabinets remove the necessity of remodeling an entire room to facilitate entertainment or drinking. They normally include storage for drinkware, hard liquors, and even adequate storage for quality wines.
Home Bar
Home bars come in a variety of shapes and sizes and mostly emphasize style and aesthetic experience, over practicality and use. Many home bars do come with advanced features not offered in other bar sets, such as options for built-in refrigeration.
Bar Sets
A bar set is everything you'll need to have a full bar experience in any room of your home. These sets include storage for alcohol - usually including wine bottles - as well as seating for around three people. Bar sets often include wall bar, at the higher end of the price range, and thus are great for creating a full bar experience from home.
Wall Bars
Wall bars are handy add-ons for dens or can simply be a nifty add-on to your home bar. They add an authentic "pub house" feel to any home and provide a large amount of storage space for alcohol and glasses.
Wall bars are very well suited to homeowners who desire the authentic bar experience but may not have enough space for an entire home bar. If it can be managed, wall bars paired with a bar set including seating can be a perfect set up for a den or patio.
