If you like to entertain, but don't have the space to build a home bar, the bar cart's the next best thing! Let us show you how

7. Kitchen knockout
Let’s face it, as much as we try to make other rooms in our house alluring, when friends and family gather, it’s often in the kitchen. A bar cart makes perfect sense there, not only for hosting guests but for storing the cooking sherry to boot.

8. Office party
Having a bar in your office has a distinct Mad Men feel to it, but you don’t need a swinging midcentury pad to pull it off. A classic bar cart in the corner of your home office can be a good way to unwind after a stressful day pushing paper.
