Question: What’s the best way to bring the indoors outdoors? Answer: With an outdoor kitchen! For that, you’ll need an outdoor bar cabinet. A bar cabinet can be a standalone outdoor addition or part of a full outdoor kitchen. Bars are usually higher than a standard countertop so that you can stand or sit at them. Standalone bar cabinets are usually attached to a countertop or overlook the grill area. Look for a bar top that is a flexible space, wide enough to prep and set out food.
