The Best Bar Carts for Every Kind of Host

This mid-century Italian bar cart offers style and substance in spades, with two spacious tiers to host your glassware and the all-important cocktail ingredients (it’s got to be a spritz, surely?). Not only that, but the metal castor wheels also make it manoeuvrable to a sun-dappled spot in time for aperitivo hour. It's 'la dolce vita', done right.

This brass bar cart may not hold the secret as to why Soho House picantes are so damn addictive, but it does bring a slice of the brand’s signature style to your living space. Echoing the interiors found at White City House, it’s all moody blackened brass, Spanish Marquina marble and chic leather accents. Each carefully considered detail gives it an always-been-here appearance, which we’re forever seeking in our interiors.

Composed of acacia wood and brass detailing, this mid-century style bar cart will help you channel your inner Don Draper. Despite its spacious shelves, it arrives fully assembled and is surprisingly manoeuvrable, thanks to addition of brass wheels (perfect if, like us, you’re forever rejigging your space for hosting).

Equipped with all your entertaining essentials, this nut-brown leather-clad home bar will secure your status as host par excellence (if your signature cocktail hasn’t done so already). Cleverly hidden beneath the brass-hinged lid is everything you need to shake and stir cocktails to order, including a bottle opener, corkscrew, ice tongs, stainless-steel ice bucket and six matching metal cups, alongside compartments to store your favourite bottles and glassware.

Whether you’re fitting out the country pile or simply all for cottagecore interiors, this oak bar cart with antique brass hardware and heritage detailing is essential for entertaining in style. Behind the rattan doors you’ll discover plenty of space for your favourite spirits and bar cart essentials, plus a discrete glass holder to keep your precious stemware safe from any knocks.

You know what they say: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. This silver drinks trolley is as classic as they come, meaning you’ll never tire of its slick, sixties-inspired design — but even if you did, its four pivoting wheels means its easily hidden away after hosting.

Got a big space to play with? Handcrafted from dark steel, this bar cabinet gives new meaning to the phrase “host with the most”. It boasts plenty of space to hang wine glasses, display your favourite spirits and showcase your wine collection in the waxed wooden wine rack.
