Bar cabinets are more formal than bar carts, but more accessible than built-in bars—and they give you yet another way to impress while entertaining.
Like bar carts, bar cabinets store all kinds of bartending necessities. (Think: glassware, spirits, cocktail-making tools, and more.) But they look like fancy furniture. The average bar cabinet could pass as a buffet, an armoire, or a small storage console. And that illusion is the bar cabinet’s charm: It conceals your drinkware, so you can unveil your bar like a party trick every time you host guests.
Naturally, bar cabinets are bulkier than bar carts. But since they come in different sizes, you can snag one that suits your space. And though bar cabinets can get pricey, they’re still cheaper than built-in bars—and they’re also less committal. (Don’t love the bar cabinet you bought a few years ago? Treat yourself to a new one—no renovation, required.)
What’s nice? As more people become bar cabinet converts, the number of bar cabinets on offer only grows. So to help you navigate this new hosting frontier, we’ve rounded up some of the best bar cabinets around—including budget-friendly finds and splurge-worthy statement-makers.

This CB2 bar cabinet would look great in any space—and it’s particularly perfect for wine drinkers. The cabinet comes with two divot-lined shelves, which are ideal for storing wine bottles.

Orren Ellis Bar Cabinet
Bar cabinets can get expensive. But we fell in love with this Wayfair piece because it doesn’t break the bank. The cabinet is sleek and space-efficient: It boasts two shelves, two drawers, and an open storage cubby.
