With summer-like weather upon us, now is a great time to spend time entertaining friends and family on the patio! My birthday is coming up, and I’m looking forward to relaxing outdoors, even though it’s going to be 100 degrees! One thing is for sure when the weather heats up, and you’re having a great time celebrating with those you love most, one tends to forget about how hot it is!

Rustic outdoor bars come in a wide array of styles and have ample storage space for your glasses, blender, favorite liqueur, sodas, (or beverage of choice), and drink mixes. Some also have a spot for outdoor bar stools so your guests can chat at “the bar” while you make their favorite cocktail on ice! In fact, I stumbled on a few beautiful rustic outdoor kitchens that are not only ideal for serving drinks, but for storing and setting your favorite appetizers, main course, and desserts!
