The Elevated Bar Cart
When I say bar cart, what comes to mind? For me, I immediately hear the sultry, jazz of Diana Krall playing in the background, the warmth of my first sip of an old-fashioned, laughter, dancing, and the clink of ice rolling around in drinks. I think of beautiful dresses, beautiful smiles, and a distant smell of a cigar wafting in the air.
From its heyday in the 1950’s and 60’s, the bar cart has re-emerged as an entertaining staple over the past few years. Enhancing the tools, accessories, and necessities to your bar cart has become one of the biggest trends over the past couple of years. The bar cart is the unique furnishing that provides an efficient way for entertaining friends and family in a compact but cool style. It is practical storage and chic style all in one!
In our opinion, curating an elevated bar cart has much less to do with the furnishing itself, but is all about the accents added. From the tray, ice bucket, glassware, and the barware tools, we look for bold colors, sharp lines, and products that have withstood the test of time. We are stuck in this vintage-modern mindset.
Practically speaking, the bar cart serves a valuable purpose when entertaining. Positioned correctly, it keeps a purposeful flow for guests as they fill drinks and socialize away from the kitchen. It keeps ice, mixers, bitters, sweeteners, liquor, and garnishes centralized for preventing spills. It keeps the conversations going with less interruption.
We hope this inspires you to elevate your bar cart for the upcoming season. We are always searching for an opportunity to gather with others. Life happens when we gather!
Cheers to you and cheers to your soon-to-be elevated bar cart!
