14 best bar carts, cabinets and drinks trolleys for your home booze stash
It’s always happy hour somewhere, right?
Our love for bar carts hasn’t wavered yet. Indeed, our home booze stash is still well-tended and, as it turns out, making cocktails is much more fun when you can serve them up in style to your guests.
So, if you haven’t already, it’s time to invest in a bar cart or drinks trolley.
Best bar carts to buy now
A stylish bar cart, drinks cabinet or trolley will give you somewhere to keep all your drinks bits, so you’re not cluttering up cupboards, and add a bit of glam to a corner at the same time. Pretty bottles – and glassware – are lovely to look at, so they deserve to be shown off.
How to arrange a bar cart
Naturally, you’ll need to arrange your alcohol and glassware first and foremost. Don’t feel like you have to fill it with every single bottle and wine glass from your kitchen cupboard – pick the best looking ones for your display, and organise them how you’d like.
We’d recommend placing bevvies on the bottom and glasses on the top tier, otherwise you risk your cart looking top heavy with bottles.
Once you’ve sorted your essentials, style your cart with decorations like a photo frame, body candle, or a vase filled with flowers. Basically, if it’s worthy of your Instagram grid, you’re on the right track.

We've rounded up our favourite bar carts and drinks trolleys to see you through the upcoming summer celebrations, whether it be for a post-work glass of wine, cosy date night, or a big boozy bash with your besties. Enjoy!
