Portable Mini Bars can make it easy to be the bartender at a friends’ party or can liven up a picnic. The contents can, as the name implies, be alcoholic, but can just as easily be soft drinks, juice or bottled tea. The idea behind a portable bar is that you can bring it with you to where ever you are. One clever person even created a DIY bar using an unused jerry can as the shell. The keyword here is “portable,” as it can be taken just about anywhere.
If you have a small business catering parties, the portable bar table could be just what you need. As a rule, it is easy to set up and just as easy to take back down, making it the perfect bar table for backyard or patio parties. Regardless of the purpose of the gathering, a portable mini bar can help make hosting or catering the event easier. It creates a place where you can keep all the ingredients for mixed drinks and you can easily pack it up and put it away when “happy hour” is over. It can be decorated according to the occasion, and you can serve any sort of drink from it. You can even use your bar to dispense coffee.
One of the best designs out there is a rolling cart mini bars. Homeowners can easily take advantage of these mini bars because they can be stored inside a kitchen utility closet when not needed. They look just like a little wine cabinet, but they have caster wheels on the bottom to help move them from one place to another. One or two of these can make dispensing drinks at your next garden party a breeze.
You can turn a wooden serving cart into a minibar by using Cambro wired shelving. The shelves are created for specific purposes, such as roll-down storage for cans of soft drinks, or wider shelves for tall bottles. You can create a space for a tub of ice, or even a container of sudsy water to emulate a wet bar. While not as portable as a folding cart, it can be stored when not in use or the shelving can be swapped out for other purposes.
You can make your folding mini bar unique and increase your understanding of the purpose of the party by adding a skirt that commemorates the team being honored. Whether you are helping them celebrate a victory or commiserate over a defeat, a bar skirt that has the team logo shows respect and understanding.
