The fun folks at Chairish contacted me and asked me to style one of their bar carts with my favourite bar cart essentials. Bar carts are really trendy right now, they look great and are easy to access. Curtis is currently building us a bar cabinet out of an old cabinet. I will post this project once finished, but I’m pretty excited to style it!
Having a well stocked bar cart for guests to help themselves is the best trick to hosting a great party. It’s once less thing to worry about that night. You just put out the essentials for a couple of drinks, they can make it themselves and it’s a win for everyone.
Here are my 8 bar cart essentials from Chairish. It was really hard to narrow it down since they have so many great options! I’ve paired them with this fantastic vintage copper serving cart you can find in their bar cart section. How fun is that pineapple bucket? I wouldn’t use it as a bucket, but more as a decorative piece.
1. Copper Gallery Tray
2. Vintage Cocktail Shaker
3. Gold Ice Bucket
4. Lucite Bar Accessory Set
5. Corked Glass Bourbon Decanter
6. Culver Frosted and Gold Tumblers
7. 1960s Silver-Rim Water Stems
8. Hollywood Regency Solid Brass Pineapple Ice Bucket (can also be just decorative!)
I love the gold ice bucket! So pretty. I love all things gold π
me too! it’s becoming an addiction along with copper.

ahhh bar carts make me so happy! Your list is perfect- I include pretty straws and drink stirrers (adorable ones on etsy) as well as a shaker.
