Essentials For Setting Up Your Holiday Party Bar

Once a year we allow ourselves to eat, drink and be merry. If you want to create holiday cheer, you need to give your holiday party guests something to cheer with and about. Having a bar set-up at your holiday party is the gift that keeps on giving. Here are the essentials you need to set up your bar,  keeping your guests in the holiday spirit.

Holiday party bar set up

The first step to setting up your holiday bar is to decide what type of bar service you are providing your guest. Are you going to have a full bar, with bar staff, including beer, wine, and cocktails? Or, are you limiting your spirits to beer and wine? Maybe you don’t want a full bar, but just a few signature cocktails. Whatever the type of bar service you provide, you’re going to need the right bar equipment.

The Bar

Before you dive into the bar accessories, you need to choose the actual bar. Find a bar that matches your theme and your style. We have vineyard bars, rustic wooden bars, wine-barrel bars, square bars, serpentine bars, rolling bars on wheels, one-tier and two-tiered bars. Basically, we have you covered no matter how much or how little you plan on serving your guests.

Bar Accessories

It’s easy to remember the big stuff, but don’t forget to get all the little bar accessories like corkscrews, bottle openers, and shakers. Plus, you’ll want to rent small bowls and containers to keep everything in its place for the bar, like lemons, limes, olives, cocktail umbrellas, stir straws, etc. Make it look good with matching serving gear and utensils.

You can also rent large copper or metal buckets to keep the wine, beer, and champagne cool. Although, if you’re serving champagne you should keep it cool in a proper stainless steel champagne bucket. If you’re going for a cozy and rustic themed holiday party we have tubs and troughs of galvanized metal.
