Best Bar Carts of 2024 - The Official List

Best Overall Bar Carts

In this section, we chose two popular bar carts that just can’t be ignored for style, affordability and customer ratings and reviews. Other features that went into the selection include material type, durability and storage space.

While a photo on a screen can only show so much, up-close and in-person, the knots, imperfections, splits and nicks add a form of authenticity, making the cabinet feel like it’s the master work of a humble yet talented carpenter with an eye for detail, who takes his lodgings in a log cabin in the middle of some quaint woods, and who spends his days doing what he loves most: crafting wooden cabinets to perfection.

In terms of storage, the Jaxon Wine Cabinet has plenty to go around. Divided into three parts, it’s got the following: a right column of cubbies in grids for containing individual wine bottles, a left cabinet space for storing linens, dishes and other large items and a top left drawer for the smaller accessories like napkins, corkscrews and coasters. The material of the entire storage piece is also one for the books, as 100% solid pine is not something you see in everyday furniture available on the market, adding instant quality and value and making this design one you’ll not want to let go of anytime soon.

Jaxon Wine Cabinet Designer Note

“This is a staple piece that ages well in any home. I love the storage capacity: the bottom shelf space is the most you’ll find in any bar design. And the warmth of the distressed wood exudes a classic feel; it kind of makes you expect to see a suited gentleman hunched over an Old Fashioned at the bar. Compared to cheaper designs it's a splurge, but for the price, well worth it.” - Brynna Evans, Interior Designer

Jaxon Wine Cabinet Customer Reviews

“I absolutely love this piece. I had returned to Living Spaces several times to look at it again and again. I finally purchased it and was not disappointed upon delivery. It is sturdy and well-built. It's beautifully painted and fits perfectly with the other pieces in my home. I love that you can use the storage section for spirits, glasses or even table linens. It holds all of my wine and more. I have received so many compliments on it. I highly recommend this piece.” – Patrice 
“We love this cabinet - it's really sturdy. Solid pine all the way through and feels like a piece that will last forever. The drawer slides are so smooth and well done - have already gotten a lot of compliments and am planning on purchasing the matching dining table.” – rkwarren21

Jaxon Grey Wine Cabinet Customer Reviews

“Large enough that you can fit other types of bottles in them, which is nice. The cabinet also has plenty of room with adjustable shelves. It is a solid piece of furniture that is going to last for a very long time. I would recommend this bar to a friend.” - Ashley 
“I live in an apartment with a decent-sized kitchen but wanted a little more counter and storage space. This wine cabinet not only went well with the kitchen itself, but is also very beautiful. The color changes with the lighting, so it never appears too dark or too bright in the space. It holds wine, but was also wonderfully surprised it could hold some of my other liquors in the cubbies. The cubbies on the far right have a tiny bit (0.25"-0.5") more space because of the design. I absolutely love it. Very happy with this buy and happy with Living Spaces as well.” – Desi 
“I have had a vision about how I wanted my bar wall to look. The Jaxon wine cabinet checked all my boxes. Room for all of my liquor bottles, plus room for wine. Coordinates great with my other previous purchases from Living Spaces.” – Annie

Jaxon Wine Cabinet Customer Reviews

“The Jaxon wine cabinet has been a great addition to my apartment. The glass & accessory storage really helps and the wine storage is perfect. Adds a slightly different feel & look to the place that makes it even more inviting. And, it complements the big screen TV mounted above it.” – ChuckRC

Amos Bar Customer Reviews

“We bought this bar for our outdoor patio. It is made out of wood so it does need to be cared for. But the look is beautiful. I actually saw it at the Rancho Cucamonga store, and when I got home I knew we had to get it. Called the customer service line and the customer service representative was very nice and helpful. We were actually able to pick it up the same day at the Living Spaces Distribution Center in Colton. There was no need for assembly. It was ready to go. This was our first purchase from Living Spaces. I give them 5 stars all around.” - Valeri P
“We centered the room around this great bar. We came into Van Nuys to meet with Christina and after describing our dream pub she introduced us to this bar. It was the perfect fit. My husband is 5'9" and my son is 6'2" both look great serving behind their new bar. The shelving is open and easy to keep barware ready for our guests. We added a 3 spigot keg-a-rator on the side to serve our homecrafted brews. Christina had suggested comfy soft chairs along with our bar stools for the perfect entertainment center of our home. The bar is high quality wood with metal accents that clean up very easily. Love it!” - Smiling

Best Bar Cart With Glass Shelves

This section is all about material content — and how a well-made design can transform its style, and the look and feel of your space.

Chauncey Bar Cart Designer Note

“This bar cart is designed for a sleek and versatile aesthetic, and it shows. The shape is truly unique; the geometric lines feel modern and contemporary, while the statement black shade and smooth metal frame create a timeless style. If you have the space, put one in the dining room and the living room — your style and guests will thank you!” - Brynna Evans, Interior Designer

Best Serving Cart

We look at the best cart for serving guests at parties. Rolling, minimalist and easy to push make this kitchen cart design a winner.

Chauncey Bar Cart Designer Note

“The Chauncey’ deep black finish pairs well with metal furniture for industrial or art deco home decor (both of which are trending)! I love the fact that it’s an actual rolling bar cart, yet sleek enough to fit into most small spaces. The cart top is also ample and roomy enough to provide a comfortable place to pour drinks while socializing.” - Brynna Evans, Interior Designer

Other Features to Look for in the Best Bar Carts of 2024

While we covered a wide array of features in our Best Of list, there are still lots of designs in the world of bars and bar carts to discover. There are three design features we want to quickly note here which we didn’t above — to help keep you aware of popular cart designs as you shop. The first? Removable serving trays built into the bar cart design itself, which is especially helpful for easy cleaning. The second feature is teak material, which creates a beachy ambience (we recommend a teak-core cart for coastal homes)!  The third and final feature that can turn a good bar cart into a great one: locking casters, which ensures a safe design and one that won’t easily topple over if and when it’s reached its weight capacity.
