To fashion a festive backyard bar, start with the essentials. Sleek stools plus a chic outdoor bar make for the perfect spot to serve up time-honored cocktails and experiment with new recipes. Bar drawers, cabinets, and shelves offer room to store and stow glassware and ingredients, so you can focus less on hauling out supplies and more on being the life of the party. Add patio sofas and chairs for extra seating during large get togethers, plus ambient lighting to make sure your backyard is the talk of the town.
