The 8 Best Bar Carts For Your Home Or Patio

If you need a place to store spirits, glassware, and drink-making accessories, the best bar carts balance function and style with enough room to stash all of your necessities. In order to make sure a cart will fit nicely in your home, pay close attention to its dimensions, and make sure that it’ll blend seamlessly with your decor. Bar carts are meant to be portable, so you’ll likely want to choose one with wheels (bonus points if they lock to keep the cart in place during use!) and ideally a handle or two.

A good bar cart should be sturdy but still nice to look at, which is why it’s important to consider the material (or combination of materials) that it’s made from. Metal is popular since it’s strong, durable, and comes in many stylish finishes. Wooden bar carts (made of solid wood or engineered wood like MDF) can add warmth to a space for a rustic farmhouse vibe or clean and classic appeal. If you opt for wood, just be careful when you’re pouring your drinks — water stains can mar the wood’s finish if you aren’t able to clean up spills immediately. Clear acrylic is also sometimes used for bar carts since it’s super chic and modern, as well as easy to wipe down. If you plan on using your bar cart outdoors, weather-resistant wicker or metal can be durable enough to withstand the elements.

Most bar carts have two or three tiers to store items. However, it can be nice to have some extra storage options, too, like slots for glasses, racks for liquor bottles, a built-in ice bucket, or even removable trays for serving. If you’re tight on space, there are smaller bar carts or ones that fold up for compact storage.

These are eight of the best bart carts on Amazon, according to reviewers. This list covers a range of sizes, styles, and price points, so you can find the perfect one to hold all your drinks and accessories.
