Custom Home Bars
Entertain in style with a custom wet or dry bar

Entertain friends and family at home with custom wet and dry bars. Edgewood Cabinetry’s home bar styles fit into all types of spaces, from sophisticated cabinets and shelves to a full sports bar style, we only use natural woods for every style for bars that last a lifetime. Perfectly color matched stains and paints help your bar blend in with your home or show off your personality.

Edgewood Cabinetry works alongside you throughout the design and installation process to ensure your bar takes full advantage of the space available. You can even customize your bar with a variety of accessories and options, such as wine racks and refrigerated cabinets.

Wet and Dry Bar Styles

Wet and dry bars can be as simple or complex as you want. There isn’t just one style you have to stick to. In fact, you can design one to fill a room or something no wider than a kitchen sink. You really have room to be creative, but consider some of these more popular styles and varieties to help get you started:

Cabinet and shelves – One of the most basic styles is a simple lower cabinet with one or two doors, a drawer, and some shelves above. In the middle, you have counter space to fix drinks. You display glasses on the shelves, store corkscrews and bottle openers in the drawer, and drink mix accessories in the cabinet.
Refrigerated cabinet – This can go with any style, but instead of just standard cabinets, at least one cabinet is refrigerated to store drinks and other items, such as lime slices.
Full bar – If the first thing you imagine with wet and dry bars is the TV show Cheers, then you might want a full bar style. These work well in basements or in a room of their own. Floor to ceiling cabinets showcase bottles and glasses. You have a mixing area, which usually includes a sink. Finally, there’s the actual bar area complete with chairs or stools.
Kitchen island bar – If you don’t have space for a full bar, transform your kitchen island into a bar. This works for wet and dry bars. Add a wine rack to your island and hang glasses above the bar. If you have a sink in place, you have everything you need for a wet bar.
Display cabinets – With bars, you usually want to show off your glasses and bottles. This is why cabinet doors often have glass panes or an open lattice design. You can get as artistic as you want with how the panes are designed to match the theme of your room.
Minimalist – For a simple bar, use flat panel cabinets and simple hardware. Often, this design doesn’t even have hardware. This creates a clean, modern appearance.
Media center – This style turns your wet or dry bar into more of a sports bar. Think of it as an entertainment center/bar combo. This works well for entertainment rooms and basements. Cabinets for drinks and glasses are on either side of a big-screen TV. Seating is available around the bar area to socialize and watch TV.

It’s also worth noting that you can place your wet and dry bar nearly anywhere, including:

Kitchen
Butler’s pantry
Patio
Basement
Man cave
Living room
Entertainment/media room
Garage

Note: If you want a wet bar, you’ll need a room with plumbing in place.

Wood Paints and/or Stains

Traditional staining and glazing helps to enhance the natural wood for a rich, classic look, or get a perfect color match to wall accents or your room’s existing cabinetry for an even more custom look. Edgewood Cabinetry can match any color or stain to perfectly suit the style you’re looking for.

Common Cabinet Wood Types

While many of the cabinets in big box stores use plywood and particleboard overlaid with veneers, Edgewood Cabinetry builds the cabinets strictly from natural woods, such as mahogany, oak, hickory, pine, cherry, and maple. Natural wood cabinets not only provide a much richer aesthetic, but are more durable and last longer.

Wet and Dry Bar Accessories and Options

Creating perfect wet and dry bars is all about customization. Edgewood Cabinetry helps you bring your design to life by customizing every aspect to fit your needs and space. We also offer recommendations on hardware, sinks, accessories, and more. While every aspect is custom, a few accessories and options you may want to add include:

Built-in wine racks
Glass racks and storage
Drawer organizers
Pull out drink racks
Lazy Susan’s
Built-in trash cans
Refrigerated cabinets
Custom bottle shelving
Hidden appliances

The Design and Installation Process

From start to finish, Edgewood Cabinetry has a time tested process that will ensure you get exactly the type of home bar you desire that is both within your budget, but also offers the most options possible. Careful consideration is given to every step of the process to make sure your bar is built and installed within a timely manner, with quality craftsmanship that doesn’t compromise by using shortcuts that diminish the end product.

I secured quotes from Edgewood and a big box home improvement store.  Edgewood’s cabinets were available 3 weeks earlier and were sinficently cheaper then the big box quote.   The final cabinets look awesome and are solid.  Without hesitation I would recommend Pete and Edgewood cabinets. read less
