FINDING THE LOCATION
The first thing that you need to do to get started on your backyard cocktail bar is to figure out where you are going to build it. If you have a big enough space, then we recommend investing in a metal building for your property which you can dedicate to this project. You can use a provider such as Armstrong Steel who give you the option of customizing your building, otherwise, you could use your wooden shed or a conservatory depending on the space that you have.
THE DECOR
This is your cocktail bar, so you get to decide on the décor. If you are thinking fancy, then you should invest in some stylish couches or even bar stools depending on how comfortable you’d like your guests to be. Think about the walls, having the right lighting and other important décor elements to make sure that this cocktail bar stands out.
THE BAR
The bar is arguably the most important part of this project, so you need to find the perfect one. This isn’t a real bar as you won’t be selling alcohol, so it doesn’t need to be too big in size. Remember that you only need to stock the alcohol that you and your guest will enjoy so you don’t need a beer pump if you don’t enjoy drinking pints of beer. Get your bar well stocked up with cocktail glasses, the right ingredients and you’ll be well on your way.
THE MUSIC
This is a backyard cocktail bar, so you need to be able to have a bit of dance if you get in the mood. Think about adding some speakers to your cocktail bar to entertain your guests and possibly even a disco ball for a bit of sparkle. Don’t forget about the music as this is a very important part of getting the atmosphere right.
RECIPES
If you aren’t experienced in making cocktails, then you might want to pick up some books on how to make the perfect cocktails. You want to impress your guests when they first come around to try out your cocktail bar and so you need to nail those recipes. Invest in some books, practice shaking the cocktails and you should be able to pick it up in some time.
FINAL VERDICT
If you’ve always dreamed about running your own cocktail bar, then why don’t you set one up in your backyard? Make sure to take on board all of the tips that we have given you and you should be able to impress all of your friends and family.
