Roll It Out

A space- and wallet-friendly alternative to building a full outdoor bar, this portable serving cart can double as a stationary drink station for parties. The retractable leaf extends to create more space for holding bottles, mixers, glasses, and garnishes, so guests can stay well-stocked. Avoid broken-glass disasters with durable acrylic drinkware. Choose a set with a hammered texture like this one for a look that most closely resembles high-end glassware.
