WET BAR

To give life to your dry memories
​
A wet bar is a designated space where you can make alcoholic drinks for guests while entertaining in-home. Its name comes from the fact that a wet bar always has a sink. This sink allows for easy clean-up without having to retreat to your kitchen sink, and it can also act as a makeshift ice bucket. A great home wet bar will hold liquor bottles, glassware, and any accoutrements for making drinks, such as a bottle opener, cocktail shaker, or a decanter.
A wet bar allows you to stay with your guests and keep the conversations going as you make drinks instead of having to run back and forth to the kitchen. While some homes have an open floor plan design that keeps the kitchen and entertaining area all in the same space, a wet bar is still helpful as a small bar area with a singular purpose during the main action of your gathering. Wet bars can be in a living room, recreation room, or even on the patio.
BRINGING WET BAR TO ACTION

Factors to be considered while building your Wet bar.
I started Pastel Spaces with one goal in mind: to make my skills and knowledge easily accessible to everyone. If there’s one thing I’m truly thankful for, it’s the opportunity to share my passion with this loyal community that just keeps on growing.
I’m here to guide you every step of the way and provide you with the tools needed to accomplish your goals. I'm grateful for the growing number of readers who share their own experiences, and encourage others to do the same. Take a look at the latest posts below and get inspired to explore new ideas.
As there’ll be a lot of liquid on your bar, you’ll want a water-resistant top for both the serving and prep areas and you'll definitely want to add a backsplash behind the sink. You might also want to consider laminate flooring behind the bar, in the prep area. Get creative with your design. You can choose your finishes to complement the rest of your home’s design or, if you’re building your wet bar in an unused space, you can use the freedom to create something completely different.
If you want a beer tap system, you’ll need to plan space for taps, a drip tray and your keg lines. Keg lines will need regular cleaning so keep that in consideration and do not hide them away. You might also want to include a kegerator to keep kegs cold. It’s also smart to get a fridge with a built-in icemaker to avoid conservation and fun breaking scenes when you jog to kitchen every time for just ice. This is when it’s really important to know your electrical system. Having a few plugs is great, but will they be able to handle the increased electrical load?
THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN GETTING YOURSELF A BAR
When hopping bars we always want those fancy drinks at our table but at cheap rates.
Now not just drink or a bar gets you in the mood, but to settle it for your guests you can have wall-in-built speakers so that you have right mood song at your fingertips and lighting-always opt for dim lighting which is adjustable to the mood and get it's colors customize.
Now I hope by the end of this article you have right choice of speakers, lighting and drinks for your lavishing Wet Bar.
