Multi Use Patio Bar

Multi Use Patio Bar

Winston Porter

What we like: Substantial storage capacity

What we don’t like: No ice compartment

Not so great for: People who only want to serve drinks

Perfect for: People who love entertaining and cooking on their patio

A portable outdoor bar that’s more than just a bar. This one features a metal countertop for meal prepping and entertaining. It also has a cabinet, made of manufactured wood and sits on casters, where you can store your plates, cooking tools, and beverage. There’s also an open shelf between the countertop and the closed storage. On the sides, you will find a spice rack as well as hanging hooks for your cooking implements.

It’s important to note that the cabinet does not have a built ice bucket or compartment. However, it’s big enough to hold one, to keep your drinks cold. Its weatherproof and UV-resistant body is designed for outdoor use, and it comes in two wood colors.

Wicker Bar

Wicker Bar

Latitude Run®

What we like: Tropical Look  

What we don’t like: Narrow side tables

Not so great for: Serving appetizers

Perfect for: Serving cold drinks

Keep your wine and beer cold while enjoying a hot summer day by the pool with this outdoor portable bar. Made of iron and wicker, it features a lift-top table that reveals deep zinc-plated metal storage to accommodate ice. Below it is open storage with a glass rack and a shelf where you can place food and other items.

The side wings are great for holding drinks, but they’re not big enough for plates if you’re serving snacks. We recommend pairing this with a patio table in a similar style to complement the functionalities of this outdoor bar.

Bay Isle Home™

What we like: Airy design

What we don’t like: Limited storage

Not so great for: Large parties

Perfect for: Compact patios

These outdoor portable bars for sale are made of synthetic wicker and showcases two integrated trays for serving and storing food. A straightforward design for a bar cart, it has a metal frame covered in the same wicker material and a substantial handle for convenient lugging. Available in four wicker colors.

The top tray is removable, so you can also use it to carry drinks and snacks. It might be good to note that the top tray doesn’t have any lining, so it’s best to add a placemat or a thin glass on top, to level out glasses and avoid spillage when serving drinks.

A great addition to your patio setup. It also has a space-saving component as it allows the lower bar shelf to conveniently slide under the table when not in use. A minor thing to note is that it doesn’t have an integrated ice compartment, but the shelves are tall and durable enough to support an ice cooler.

Portable Bars

Buying Guide

The best materials for an outside portable bar are treated wood and aluminum.

Wood is the most classic and versatile option if you’re hoping to maintain a traditional or cozy look, but you can find models in different styles, including contemporary or even Tiki-inspired designs. The most important thing is to choose a wooden outside portable bar that was coated and treated to withstand the elements, as frequent rain and even direct sunlight could otherwise ruin it in the long run.

Aluminum is also weather-resistant and it’s particularly recommended for outside portable bars because it’s a lightweight alternative, making it even easier to move your bar around and store it away whenever you’re not using it.

When choosing an outside portable bar, you should look for:

  • Weather-resistant materials
  • A lightweight but reliable construction
  • The right amount of storage for your needs (for example, will you mainly store beers, wine bottles, or spirits? How many glasses do you usually bring out when entertaining guests?)
  • A style and finish that complement your outdoor furniture and decorative elements to maintain a consistent look

Ready to buy an outside portable bar? Excellent!

Before you do, consider the amount of room you have, the types of events you will have in your space, the usual weather conditions in your area and the amount of time that you’ll have in your schedule that you can devote to upkeep.

These practical, basic considerations will help inform your decisions regarding the material the bar should be made of, the storage you need, as well as where you’re able to put your bar once it arrives.
