Our Picks
Two Door Bar Cabinet
What We Like: Contemporary appeal
What We Don’t Like: Takes a long time to assemble
Perfect for: Multiple storages in a small space
Not so great for: Large wine bottles
Made of manufactured wood, this contemporary narrow bar cabinet provides multiple storage options for your bar essentials. Its curved front features two side cabinets with interior shelving. The central part is equipped with wooden glass racks, wine bottle holders, and a base shelf for display.
Available in vintage walnut and black, this piece is ideal for contemporary and modern interiors. The design of the wine rack, however, might be small for bottles that have a bigger body. These are more compatible with bottles that have a slimmer design and some of the regular-sized bottles. The glass rack on top can accommodate 20 glasses, depending on their sizes.
Bar Cabinet with Slatted Doors
What We Like: Slatted Design
What We Don’t Like: High price range
Perfect for: Luxury modern interiors
Not so great for: Traditional and transitional interiors
Featuring louvered doors and a compact design, this small bar cabinet can fit in the nooks and crannies of your home. Each side has shelved storage as well as railed tiers installed on the doors for additional organization. It also comes with a wooden rack for your stemware. It is crafted in solid wood with a steel base and a clear glass tabletop.
Offered in charcoal-stained ash, chocolate-stained walnut, and natural walnut, this piece is a great option for modern homes. For a coordinated look in the living room, we recommend pairing it with a TV stand in the same style, preferably one with slim louvered doors.
Modern Rugged Bar Cabinet
Williston Forge
What We Like: Industrial look
What We Don’t Like: Magnets don’t work properly
Perfect for: Moving around the house
Not so great for: Luxurious interiors
Composed of metal and wood, these liquor cabinets for small spaces are perfect for modern rustic and industrial-style interiors. It features two wire mesh doors, one with a shelf and the other with a glass rack installed. The lower shelf offers undivided space, ideal for placing long dishes and a variety of bowls and other bar essentials.
Offered in gray ash, rustic oak, and dark walnut, this piece also has a top gallery that you can use for preparing drinks. It also has wheels for easy mobility. However, one of the main feedback is that the door magnets don’t work properly for some users. One recommendation is to add small magnets to resolve the issue. You can also try to install the doors prior so you can align them to the frame before installing the magnets.

Vintage Shabby Chic Bar Cabinet
Mistana™
What We Like: Unique motifs
What We Don’t Like: Paint peels off when wiped
Perfect for: Shabby chic, coastal, bohemian, and vintage interiors
Not so great for: Ultra-modern and classic interiors
Bar cabinets for small spaces don’t have to crimp your style. Just like this eye-catching and attractive vintage-inspired piece. On one side is a cabinet with an ogee arched door motif and metal railings. On the other side is an open shelf with a wine rack frame, capable of holding 13 bottles at a time. It is crafted in solid fir and manufactured wood in a rustic, distressed finish.
The washed paint tends to chip off when wiped with a damp cloth. We recommend applying a finishing top coat to protect the look of your bar cabinet. For regular cleaning, you can use a swifter to keep it free from dirt and dust.

Modern Industrial Bar Cabinet
What We Like: Attractive mix of wood and metal
What We Don’t Like: Low height
Perfect for: Standard-height ceilings
Not so great for: Rooms with high ceiling
This skinny bar cabinet highlights the beauty of mixed materials. Its body is crafted in solid and manufactured wood and finished in an attractive oak veneer. Its corners and edges are outlined with metal in a matte finish that contrasts with the wood.
Two top drawers, a glass rack, and an X-style wine rack provide storage and display functions. Compared to other bar cabinets, this is a relatively low piece. We recommend adding a portrait-style artwork or mirror and some vertical décor on top to create visual balance when placed against the wall.
