Outdoor Bars and Beverage Stations

An outdoor bar gives guests a natural place to gather, keeps drinks cold and close, and lets the host stay part of the conversation. We design outdoor bars as standalone features or as part of a complete outdoor kitchen.

Overview

The social side of the backyard.

Outdoor bars range from a simple raised counter with stools to fully equipped stations with refrigeration, ice storage, a sink, kegerator and shelving. Placement matters: a bar near the pool, the kitchen or the main seating area becomes the backyard’s social hub.

Pair your bar with a pavilion or patio cover for shade, and with patio lighting so the evening never has to end early.

Planning & installation

Planning your outdoor bar.

Ergonomics. Bar height, overhang depth and footrest placement all affect comfort.

Utilities. Refrigeration needs power, sinks need plumbing and drainage. Electrical and plumbing must be installed by licensed professionals with any required permits.

Shade and sun. Refrigerators and guests both appreciate shade in summer afternoons.

Cost factors. Size, materials, countertops, appliances, utilities and shade structures.

Yes. Many L- and U-shaped islands include a raised bar section for seating.

If you include refrigeration or lighting, yes. A licensed electrician must install new circuits.

Durable outdoor surfaces like porcelain, granite or quartzite work well. Avoid materials that fade or stain in sun.
