Versatility Is Key

 Christopher Knight Industrial Wooden Bar Cart
A happy day is one drink away.

This cart is a stylish and sophisticated way to spice up your mixologist game. It has two large ash veneer shelves for all your glassware, liquor, and mixing tools plus two sleek iron cages for holding a few bottles of your favorite wine. It measures 38.25 x 16.5 x 32.25-inches and has about 17-inches of room between each shelf. That is easily enough room to fit your own wine rack should you need something with a little more structure. It has four wheels and weighs about 20 pounds so you can easily maneuver the cart to see which location works best. Find yourself a cute plant, elegant tumblers, or crystal clear champagne flutes to round out the picture; you’ll be very impressed with the cart and yourself.

For The Mixology Expert

 WGX Design for You Bar Cart
Show off your skills with everything you need at the ready; you’ll quickly impress any guest.

If you are a cocktail connoisseur with larger storage needs and more to show off we suggest this cart from WGX. It has a cool, rustic vibe with generous shelf space so you’ll never run out of room. It measures 31.5 x 27.5 x 16 inches, has three large, solid wood shelves, and four wheels that can lock in place. We personally love the idea of using the top shelf as a drink-making station while you keep your ingredients below.
