Best small bar cart: Beachcrest Home Anjenette solid wood bar cart

For such a small piece of furniture, we’re impressed with how tricked out the Anjenette bar cart is. It comes with three storage shelves, including an adjustable middle shelf, which will be convenient for storing tall bottles and stemware. 

The bar cart is versatile, offering enough prep space and extra features to make snacks thanks to its flat countertop, towel rack, shelf for spices and oils (or small bottles of mixers and liquor) and paper towel rack. It also has four wheels for the easiest transport, and thanks to the acacia wood and teak finish, and is quite pretty to look at.

The Beachcrest Home Anjenette solid wood bar cart has a 4.5-star rating on Wayfair. One reviewer wrote, “Beautiful bar! Perfect size on my pool deck for our summer drinks!”

If you prefer fashion over function, get this incredibly chic outdoor bar cart from Anthropologie. This Business & Pleasure Co. bar cart comes in two colors, black and white, and features beautiful ironwork, including patterned shelving. 

The two patterned shelves come with holes for an umbrella, which can provide you and your guests with some much-needed shade during the summer months while you all wait for your drinks to get made. The shelves offer ample space for drinks and glasses.

Best outdoor bar cart splurge: Frontgate teak bar cart with beverage tub

One of the reasons this stunning outdoor bar cart comes at such a high premium is its material: teak. Teak wood is the best wood you can use for outdoor furniture. Teak won’t get damaged by the sun (other than reveal a patina over time), can repel water and is pest-resistant, among other perks. 

In addition to the stunning teak, this Frontgate bar cart comes with two beverage tubs, allowing for lots of space to chill drinks for your guests. These beverage tubs can be exposed or covered with the included sliding serving surfaces. Use the bottom shelf to house glasses, liquid and mixers. 

If you’re willing to pay extra for a long-lasting outdoor bar cart, this one won’t disappoint. Frontgate is currently running a limited-time offer of $675 off the bar cart, so take advantage of the deal while it’s still here. 

Best outdoor bar cart on a budget: Homall bar cart

This bar cart from Walmart is a great value, as it comes with features seen in bar carts three times its price. The Homall bar cart has a stemware rack that can fit six glasses and a wine rack that can hold six bottles. 

These convenient storage solutions free up space in the bottom shelf, allowing you to store more bottles, an ice bucket and even small plates for snacks. It’s made of metal and MDF, a real wood alternative, and comes in three colors, including black, white and gold. Prices vary by color. 

The Homall bar cart has a 4.7-star rating on Walmart. One reviewer wrote, “Love this bar cart! Was easy to put together and the quality is so good for the price. Definitely recommend!”
