Cooler months mean more entertaining indoors, and nights out become nights in with cocktails. There’s something about a bar cart that makes a space feel grown-up, don’t you think? You don’t have to have a bar cart to be a great host, but it sure is convenient, and, let’s be honest, it’s so much fun to style!

There are as many bar cart styling options as there are cocktails, and there’s no shortage of inspiration, including this past roundup we pulled for you. Building up your bar cart is a process and can get pricy depending on your taste, so here are both a high and a low look featuring bar cart essentials that will make your bar cart look as fabulous as the cocktails you make will taste.
