Having a home bar is a fun way to entertain guests or unwind after a long day. But before you get started, it’s important to understand the differences between a wet bar and a dry bar. As the name suggests, a wet bar has a water supply and drain, which is handy for cleaning up messes and refilling ice trays. A sink is handy but you’ll need the help of a plumber for installation. A dry bar is an easy DIY option for storing alcohol and glassware but you’ll need to pop to the kitchen for your H2O. The choice is yours! Here are 51 home bar ideas to serve happy hour with style.
