Buying Guide

What is the best outdoor bar countertop?

The best small outdoor bar countertop is probably granite: this durable material can stand both the test of time and that of the weather elements. Plus, it’s smooth, easy to maintain, and available in a variety of finishes.

Quartzite is another versatile and durable alternative, but not recommended in the hottest climates as it doesn’t withstand high temperatures.

Other popular options for small outdoor bar countertops are concrete and tiles. If you were hoping for a more traditional-looking wooden countertop, then be sure to choose a model that was treated to withstand the weather.

What are the dimensionions of a small outdoor bar?

The dimensions of your small outdoor bar will depend in large part on the amount of room that you have available outside. We recommend that your bar be at least 2x3 feet in size, so you have enough horizontal surface area to make drinks safely - and you have enough room in the shelves underneath to store a good amount of liquor.

If you’re interested in having the type of outdoor bar at which people can sit, a good starting dimension is 2x5 feet, if you have enough room for it.

How to equip your outdoor bar?

You can equip your outdoor bar to varying degrees depending on how sophisticated you would like it to be. For instance, a kegerator for example would be nice to have but perhaps not essential for a small outdoor bar. The following items should be high up on your outdoor bar equipment list.

Furniture – Outdoor bar furniture such as bar stools and tables create the seating environment for your guests to relax and enjoy their drink.
Bar center – A bar center typically includes a sink and faucet, condiment holders, ice bin and even a bottle opener.
Refrigerator – Keep your beverages, condiments and food chilled.
Ice maker – To avoid running out of ice when entertaining, get a built in or freestanding ice maker.
Ice cooler – A place to store your extra ice and keep drinks chilled longer.
Plastic ‘glassware’ – The outdoor space will usually have harder flooring made from concrete or pavers. It is also vulnerable to strong winds. Plastic cups, pitchers and carafes are less likely to break if they fall to the ground when compared to glass.
