So many people have jumped on the trend of having a really nice, well-stocked, and aesthetically pleasing bar cart in their home or apartment. It’s a cute way to keep all your booze together and organized and make a designated spot for all things cocktail-related.
However, if you’re really passionate about experimenting with drinks, crafting cocktails, and entertaining, you should consider installing a wet bar in your home or looking for a place to live that has one.
If you’re unsure what a wet bar is, it’s a space in your home that’s dedicated to preparing drinks. It is often located near the kitchen and dining room or in a primary entertaining space of a home, like a large living room or basement.
Wet bars are built-in areas of the home and are equipped with the counter space, storage, and appliances you need to make drinks. They’re often known as ‘wet bars’ because they typically have a sink installed.
While wet bars aren’t necessary for someone who loves making drinks and entertaining, they’re extremely nice to have and provide the perfect space for making all your drinks.
They can be a luxury, but if you truly value entertaining or even want to make your home more appealing for rentals, they’re a great investment.
If you’re considering installing a wet bar in your home or looking at spaces with wet bars, here are a few things you’ll need.
For starters, a wet bar should have enough counter space. You’ll need a good amount of counter space to prepare cocktails, which, as you may know, can require a lot of bottles and tools.
So, besides your wet bar sink, ensure there’s enough counter room to hold bottles, cocktail shakers, glasses, garnishes, etc.
