10 Sturdy Outdoor Mini Bar Ideas
Great conversations and nice places are inseparable. You can’t help it but a beautiful place seems to stimulate your ideas. Most of the time, it is the person factor. When both you and the person you are talking to are interesting, there goes a memorable conversation, regardless of the place, but other people would say that the place is always important. If your companion isn’t that talkative, it’s a bit challenging to keep the ball rolling. When you have dozens of friends, you can’t catch up with all of them so why not invite them one at a time? Invite them for coffee or for a drink at your place. You might be thinking that there is so much preparation every time you invite a friend over. Don’t sweat it! You just need to prepare a little mini bar in your backyard, complete with some drinks and snacks, and you are good to go. First of all, your friend went there to spend some time with you, and not really to have a meal. For those unannounced moments, what you need is an outdoor snack bar and we have just about the best ideas for you to get started setting them up. If you already have one, then you can vamp it up some more.

The way this mini bar is set up is just awesome. Please focus on the bar itself and not on the dining set. As you can see, the mini bar has a white ledge and just a white low-rise shelf. Then the designer put in some wine bottles to make it look like a bar. The rest is just lighting work. With this mini-bar, it looks like you are ready to host a party.

This Granite and Stone Ledge outdoor bar looks almost complete. It has grill, a stove and a sink. For those of you who do not mind spending the big bucks, you can have your bar constructed like this and have the sink, the grill and the stove installed.

We think you can make a business out of this bar!

You simply have to add your bar must-haves like drinks, some chips, wine glasses, cork opener and a bucket of ice and you’re good to go.

Not all kinds of mini-bars have to contain alcoholic drinks in them but then again, people loosen up with alcohol. Why not put both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks in your mini-bar to cater to both your drinking and non-drinking friends. As you can see, there is enough storage space on this mini-bar for juice and alcohol. There’re lemon and oranges so you can instantly make both juice and chasers. When friends come over unannounced, meet them while pushing this bar cart.
