A big garden trend over the last few years has been to create your very own bespoke garden bar. Fancy recreating that local boozer feel in your back garden? Want to create a relaxed Ibiza beach bar or have your very own tropical garden rum shack? Perhaps you fancy yourself as a mixologist, and want to build a cocktail bar to show off your skills? Many of us will have fantasised about what our perfect bar might look like if we ever had the chance to create it. Few of us will become commercial bar owners, but that doesn’t mean can’t create our own bar.
Lockdowns have led to the garden bar trend growing ever more popular. If we can’t prop up the bar at the local, why not create your own local pub in the garden?
So, how do you go about creating a garden bar in your own backyard?
Garden room = Garden Pub
If you’re creating a garden bar, you’ll need a building in which to house it. A bespoke garden room is the perfect choice for your garden bar. An insulated garden room can be built to your exact requirements. They’re warm in winter, and in the summer, they allow you to enjoy the garden in style. Whether you want to enjoy a drink on a warm summer’s evening or get cosy in the winter, they are the optimum choice.
Why dress up to go to the local pub, when you can have a contemporary, stylish garden room in which to enjoy a drink with family and friends?
Your own backyard pub
At Garden Room Sanctuary we can create a bespoke garden building for your garden bar. We will build the garden room and install the building with electricity, light, heating and electrics. Our cedar rooms are finished to the highest standard using the highest quality materials, and state of the art construction techniques. When we sign off your garden room, everything will be ready for you to create your garden bar.
So, how do you turn your beautiful new garden room into the garden bar of your dreams?
Garden room furniture
Creating your dream garden bar is all about the furnishings. What sort of garden bar do you want to create? If you’re all about craft ale, then you could opt for the industrial, warehouse-style look with metal and barrels, lighting strung on rope and a rough unfinished kind of look. Embrace your inner hipster!
Maybe you’re more about the country pad, so think in terms of your favourite rural hideaway. Cosy furnishings, pumps on the bar, perhaps some carefully selected signs on the wall, and maybe even a wood-burning stove to huddle around when the weather turns chilly.
A popular garden bar option is the bright buzzy beach bar, even if you live a long way from the sea. Create those relaxed holiday vibes with rattan style furniture, perhaps a fire pit, and colour palette that leans towards blue and pastel tones.
Maybe you want to turn totally tropical by opting for bamboo. A bamboo bar, stools and lots of bright colours to create that vibrant rum shack or Tiki bar. String out a hammock, mix yourself a drink and relax.
There’s nothing that says garden bars must be rustic. They can be as sophisticated and stylish as you want. How about your very own gin room, or cocktail bar? Think about understated style with lots of bottles of enticing alcohol and soft drinks on display.
Don’t forget bar accessories
If you’re going to have a garden bar, there’s a range of accessories you’re going to need. This does, of course, include glasses, mixers, shakers, stirrers, trays and coasters, but what about beer pumps and optics? There’s a range of beer pumps available for home use, but if your ambitions stretch a little further you might want to investigate commercial options.
Sadly, countless pubs close-down every week so it’s possible to find bar accessories second hand.
