What to Consider When Buying a Bar Cabinet for Home
Overall, the pros agree that design, size, storage capacity and materials/durability are the most important factors to consider. Jarett Karlsberg, beverage director at Wythe Hotel, recommends considering whether you’ll be storing bottles, glassware, or both, as well as if you’ll also be using the cabinet as a place to prep. Jennifer Ewald, partner at Parkbench Architect, mentions noting the dimensions of the bar cabinet, as well as factoring people’s ability to flow to and around the bar. “There are great options on the market at all price points, and keeping your budget in mind will help you find one that meets your needs without overspending,” she explains.
