The 17 Best Bar Carts of 2024 for Every Style

Best Overall

Pottery Barn Burwell Bar Cart

$899 at Pottery Barn

Our overall pick is the Pottery Barn Burwell Marble Bar Cart. The multitasking bar cart claims its number-one spot on our list due to its generous shelving, high quality materials, and timeless silhouette.

“I do think that lines of a bar cart are most important,” Kime says. “The more classic/straight, the better. I’ve found the more intricate ones to quickly go out of style.” The Burwell Marble Bar Cart features a classic, iron-forged frame finished in a lustrous antique brass powder coating that lends a touch of timeless elegance to the corner of your den, dining room, or kitchen.

The Burwell cart features a streamlined trolley handle and casters, allowing you to glide your libations from room to room while entertaining family and friends. The best part? You can eliminate the temptation of your little one to play conductor with your cart by removing the casters as needed. Park the Burwell as a permanent fixture to store happy hour essentials in your home office or stack serveware by your breakfast nook.

The best bar carts offer ample storage, and the Burwell does not disappoint, providing three roomy open-air marble shelves for showcasing your wine glasses, spirit bottles, and bar tools in one chic locale. Each gleaming marble shelf is polished and sealed for protection against scratches and wear.

With that said, marble is a naturally porous stone that requires diligent care to maintain its protective finish. Do not apply abrasive household cleaners to the marble shelves, and make sure you wipe up any spills or splatters immediately to avoid discoloration over time. Equally important: avoid parking this cart in direct sunlight or high temperatures for extended periods of time.

Product Details: Dimensions: 30 x 34.5 x 16 inches | Material: Iron, sealed polished marble | Number of Tiers: Three

Best Budget

Better Homes & Gardens Fitzgerald Bar Cart

$61 at Walmart

Are you on the hunt for a bar cart that looks expensive but isn’t going to cut into your top-shelf wine and spirits budget? The glamorous Better Homes & Gardens Fitzgerald Bar Cart is here to deliver.

The dual-tiered metal cart features a geometric metal frame reminiscent of art deco or Hollywood regency interior design. Two handles extend from the top tier to complement the Fitzgerald’s glamorous silhouette, making it easy to chauffeur champagne and spirits throughout the house. It’s finished with a beautiful, brushed matte gold hue that brings warmth and elegance into an office or dining room.

This bar cart features two transparent glass shelves for open-air storage for champagne flutes, decanters, serving plates, and more. Its metal frame extends around each tier to keep your spirited sips from tumbling to their demise during your commute around the room.

The generous distance between the upper and lower tier shelves allows you to store bottles of various heights. Better still, the bottom shelf has a built-in bottle holder for secure transport of up to three bottles of your favorite red, white, or sparkling wine.

A set of four caster feet makes rolling this cart throughout your home or apartment stress-free. When you’re not entertaining, ensure your libations are safe by locking the casters in place.

Although this stylish bar cart requires assembly, it is delivered to your door with all the tools necessary to make it a simple process for one or two people.

Product Details: Dimensions: 26.49 x 34.84 x 17 inches | Material: Metal, glass | Number of Tiers: Two

Best Splurge

Williams Sonoma Bella Bar Cart

$3,495 at Williams-Sonoma

The Bella Folding Bar Cart from Williams Sonoma makes a great choice for avid home entertainers and cocktail connoisseurs. Offering the height of luxury, this brass bar cart glides from a standard cart position into an expansive, L-shaped serving station that allows you to cater to crowds, big or small.

The vintage-inspired solid brass frame exudes luxury with a decorative trolley handle and five matching legs finished with gleaming caster feet. The middle leg hooks in place and serves as a space-saving, dual-shelf cart for weeknight happy hours. It can also unhook and swivel 180 degrees to reveal another tempered glass shelf to accommodate a longer bar top for festive group gatherings.

Its tempered glass shelves are abrasion and shatter-resistant, making an ideal base for your barware and wine bottles. Better still, the sleek shelves easily maintain their sparkle with a regular spritzing of your favorite glass cleaner. To keep the solid brass frame looking new, apply a brass cleaner as needed.

This bar cart is available in two lustrous finishes: antique brass or polished nickel. The warm brass finish makes for a seamless addition to traditional or transitional interiors while the polished nickel looks fresh and fitting in a contemporary or coastal grandma inspired space.

With this bar cart option, you’ll be limited to indoor use only. However, because of its elegant look and versatile design, this works great for those who can splurge on their home decor.

Product Details: Dimensions: Closed: 30.75 x 31 x 16.25 inches, Extended: 54 x 31 x 16.5 inches | Material: Solid brass, tempered glass | Number of Tiers: Two

Best for Apartments

Joss & Main Sava Bar Cart

$216 at Wayfair View on Jossandmain.com $170 at Allmodern.com

The Sava Metal Bar Cart is our pick for apartment living because of its space-saving silhouette, elevated finishes, and generous storage capabilities. The narrow 21.5-inch diameter design makes this round bar cart the ideal bar cart for your home office and can help you entertain during gatherings at your petite pad.

Whether making drinks in your modest midcentury modern home or hosting a happy hour in your cozy farmhouse-style apartment, this cart’s versatile frame makes it a fail proof addition to your home. The steel-forged design is as durable as it is adaptable, and it’s available in three sleek hues: brass, satin nickel, or blackened bronze.

Three scratch-resistant tempered glass shelves provide easy-access storage for your stemware, bar tools, swivel sticks, and garnishes aplenty. Safety rails wrap around the lower shelf to keep heavier bottles in place as you glide around the room. The cart comes ready to roll with four caster feet and an easy-to-maneuver top handle.

One note before making your purchase is that assembly is required. The good news? Once you set up your cart, it’s simple to maintain using just a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners and chemicals as they threaten to compromise the frame’s finish.

 Product Details: Dimensions: 21.5 x 36 x 21.5 inches | Material: Steel, glass | Number of Tiers: Three

Best Midcentury

West Elm Mid-Century Bar Cart

$320 at West Elm

If your home boasts a midcentury modern style, choose this party-ready, portable cart, with its dapper lines, high-quality materials, and portability.

The head-turning cart is a mix of kiln-dried solid eucalyptus wood, engineered wood, and an Acacia wood veneer. A bold, water-based acorn finish enhances the wood frame and mirrors the vibrant tones found in authentic midcentury furnishings.

Additionally, all the wood used to build this cart has FSC-certification, meaning it’s sourced from responsibly managed forests. The cart is also made in a Fair Trade Certified facility. 

Antique brass guard rails line the perimeter of the bar cart shelves, elevating the design and keeping your vintage crystal decanters in place as you roll throughout your space. A pair of matching antique casters are fitted to the bar cart’s front legs, while the back legs are wheel free.

To transport, lift the cart’s back legs up using the trolly handle and gliding into place with the two front wheels. Clean up between cocktails with a clean, dry cloth, and avoid using harsh chemicals to maintain the wood frame’s natural beauty.

Product Details: Dimensions: 32.4 x 32 x 19.9 inches | Material: Kiln-dried solid eucalyptus, acacia wood veneer | Number of Tiers: Two

Best Gold

Pottery Barn Delaney Bar Console

$599 at Pottery Barn

The Delaney Marble Bar Console adds a pop of gold to your kitchen, dining room, or den. The impressive console is equal parts functional and fashionable, featuring three tiers, integrated stemware storage, and a striking mix of tempered glass shelves and a marble tabletop.

A durable, steel-forged frame lays the framework for its contemporary silhouette and supports two tempered glass shelves and a natural honed marble top. The lower glass shelf provides generous storage for spirits, champagne buckets, and fresh citrus garnishes.

A small glass shelf offers a place to keep stemware within reach for your household bartender, while the luxurious marble top creates a clean workspace for creating your custom cocktails. Three built-in wine glass racks tuck beneath the marble top for seamless open-air storage.

We also appreciate that this bar cart comes with adjustable levels that allow you to balance the table on uneven surfaces. For care, skip the harsh chemical cleaners and regularly dust surfaces with a dry cloth instead. Always soak up spills as soon as possible to avoid stains and put your coaster collection to work to avoid unsightly rings on your marble tabletop.

Product Details: Dimensions: 34 x 30 x 14 inches | Material: Honed marble, steel, tempered glass | Number of Tiers: Three

Best Decorative

Joss & Main Domenica Bar Cart

$350 at Wayfair

The Domenica Bar Cart bar cart earns our pick for the dreamiest decorative bar cart because of its timeless rattan frame, high-contrast woven accents, and built-in bottle storage.

The bar cart’s subtly distressed rattan frame is the perfect addition to a modern organic home. A pair of flared side handles extend from the bar cart, allowing you to glide on the wheels below with minimal effort. When you find your ideal locale for enjoying libations, you can lock the casters to keep your bar from rolling out of reach.

We love that the top tier is actually a removable tray with two comfortable handles ideal for transporting heavy champagne buckets and big-batch aperitifs to and fro while hosting. The base shelf has six bottle holders to hold your favorite bottles of wine. However, it doesn’t have any racks to hang your wine glasses from so you’ll have to store them elsewhere.

Bring home this chic serving cart in one of four colorways: black and white, blue and white, gray and white dot, and white.

Product Details: Dimensions: 34.5 x 33 x 16.5 inches | Material: Wicker/rattan, PU rattan weave, plastic | Number of Tiers: Two

Best Rattan

Joss & Main Byron Bar Cart

$259 at Wayfair

Are you gearing up for summer pool parties and alfresco entertaining? The Byron Bar Cart from Wayfair will get the job done. The charming woven design is our top pick for rattan serving carts because it offers a natural look and can be used indoors or outdoors.

This bar cart features an inner aluminum frame for long-lasting durability and on-the-go stability for your barware. The frame is wrapped by a weather-, UV- and water-resistant resin wicker in an airy, blonde finish that complements classic coastal, bohemian, and cottage furnishings.

An elegant trolly handle extends from the bar cart’s top shelf for trouble-free transport, and four caster feet glide with ease along the way. A playful woven motif wraps the perimeter of the shelves’ guardrails, lending a high-end look to the design while keeping happy hour tools tucked neatly in their proper place.

While it does require self assembly, this cart comes with all tools needed for the job. Keep in mind that because the tiers on this cart are woven, they may not provide as much stability as marble or solid wood tiers.

Product Details: Dimensions: 34.5 x 34 x 16.25 inches | Material: Wicker/rattan, aluminum | Number of Tiers: Two

Best Vintage

Willa Arlo Interiors Amelio Bar Cart

$930 at Wayfair

Roll into your next dinner party in style with this vintage-inspired bar cart. The glamorous Amelio Metal Bar Cart earns our pick for "best vintage" due to its shapely silhouette and mixed metal finishes.

 The dual-tier bar cart has an inky-black metal frame and is finished with chic casters reminiscent of traditional serving carts. The wheels and metal handle sport a contrasting gold finish that shines against the matte black frame for an elegant look.

Two spacious glass shelves round out the design and provide plenty of space to arrange all your libation station necessities. However, this bar cart doesn’t have as many storage options as a few other options on our list—it doesn’t have any extra shelves or racks to hang wine glasses.

You can nestle three bottles of bubbly into the wine rack on the lower shelf and use the remaining space for a vintage silver ice bucket and other mixology must-haves. Each tier on the Amelio Bar Cart is bordered with a metal guard rail to keep your vintage bottles and barware in place while on the go. The guard rails are also ideal for showing off your favorite seasonal decorations or tea towels throughout the year.

Product Details: Dimensions: 31 x 20 x 31 inches | Material: Metal, glass | Number of Tiers: Two

Best Modern

West Elm Tiered Bar Console

$440 at West Elm

Mix up your drab den or lackluster hallway with West Elm's Tiered Bar Console. This curvy console seamlessly integrates in modern and contemporary homes due to its minimalist lines and expertly intertwined finishes. 

This handcrafted bar cart features a thin metal frame that offers an open and airy feel. For extra storage, there is a built-in glassware rack tucked below the top shelf. A golden, antique brass finish coats the metal frame and complements the warmth of the walnut veneer bar top.

Under the top tier, a petite side-car shelf with an ivory lacquered finish and metal guard rails offer designated storage for glassware, an ice bucket, or fresh garnishes. The lower shelf sports the same snowy lacquered finish but extends the width of the console, providing plenty of bottle storage.

Product Details: Dimensions: 40 x 37.75 x 14 inches | Material: Metal, walnut veneer, engineered wood | Number of Tiers: Three

Best Industrial

17 Stories Arturs Bar Cart

$104 at Wayfair

This industrial bar cart makes a natural addition to industrial and rustic bedrooms, kitchens, or hallways because of its contrasting materials and clean-lined silhouette.

We love the matte iron frame that flanks the sides of the bar’s shelves that provides a sturdy, masculine look. The frame extends from the top shelf into a pair of seamless, angular side handles for effortless navigation on the wheeled feet below.

The tiered design features two tray-style wooden shelves ideal for corralling your best bottles of whiskey, highball glasses, and bar tools. Aside from looking handsome paired with the inky frame, the wood offers other benefits as a shelf material. “I prefer bar carts without glass,” Morse says. “Glass gets dusty and is a constant to clean up. Other materials will not show the dust or accumulate it the same way as glass.”

This bar cart calls for self assembly and requires that you have your screwdriver and hammer on hand to put it together. To clean this cart, periodically wipe it clean with a dry cloth to remove surface debris to maintain its fresh-from-the-box appeal.

Product Details: Dimensions: 30 x 36 x 14.5 inches | Material: Iron, manufactured wood | Number of Tiers: Two

Best Large

Ballard Designs Sterling Bar Cart

View on Ballard Designs

The Sterling Large Bar Cart is our choice for the best large bar cart because of its mobility, versatile design, and elegant look.

Each Sterling bar cart is handmade using stainless steel, wood, and glass to ensure longevity. The sophisticated steel frame is unadorned save for the soft, antique brass finish that plays well with warm and cool-toned interior color palettes alike. A single trolly handle extends from one end of the cart for smooth navigation on the cart’s caster feet.

The most noteworthy feature of the Sterling bar cart is its sizable scale. The double-decker cart measures 5 feet long, offering 10 square feet of storage for your bottles, mixers, fresh florals, garnishes, and seasonal decor.

A dual-tiered bar cart is always a plus, according to the pros. “I like a bar cart with a minimum of two shelves,” Morse says. “The lower shelves are helpful to store the larger items like ice buckets and liquor without looking bulky on the top.”

Roll the cart against your dining room wall for holiday festivities or navigate to your living room and use it as a makeshift sofa table. Style the impressive bar cart shelves with accessories like lamps, coffee table books, and candles.

As Morse points out, glass tops will show dust more clearly than other surfaces. If you opt for this bar cart, be prepared to dust it frequently.

Product Details: Dimensions: 60.75 x 37.25 x 15.5 inches | Material: Stainless steel, glass, antique mirror, engineered hardwood | Number of Tiers: Two

Best Outdoor

Terrain Outdoor Teak Trolley

$1,198 at Anthropologie $1,198 at Shopterrain.com

If you’re hunting for an outdoor bar cart that rises to any occasion, the Terrain Outdoor Teak Trolley will not disappoint. The multifunctional design allows you to use the cart as a classic bar cart, cozy cocktail table, or a potting station, depending on your needs.

The bar cart is forged from solid teak wood, fitted with brass hardware, and sports a silvery wash that pairs well with neutral and colorful furnishings alike. One end of the cart features a comfortable trolley handle (ideal for showcasing seasonal tea towels), and on the opposite side a hidden drawer slides out, providing out-of-sight storage for party essentials. 

It has two open-air tiers with plenty of space to store bottles, ice buckets, and serveware within reach. The four wheels allow you to glide the cart across your patio for entertaining or back lawn for gardening as needed. 

A pair of hinged fold-down panels run the length of the cart, allowing you to expand the slatted tabletop when serving sips and snacks to guests.

We admire this cart for its generous work space and multipurpose functionality, but it doesn’t include bar-specific storage features like wine racks or coolers. While you can purchase racks and coolers separately, we wish it included tailored organization at this price point.  

Product Details: Dimensions: 42 x 32.5 x 16.5 inches | Material: Teak | Number of Tiers: Two

Best Storage

Shilonda Garden & Outdoor Wicker Bar Cart

$260 at Wayfair

If you want to corral your bottles and barware in one place—without their contrasting and colorful labels creating visual clutter in your space—the Shilonda Garden & Outdoor Wicker Bar Cart is our recommendation.

The polyethylene rattan cart features an opaque, spacious base cabinet with three separate storage shelves ideal for storing your ice bucket, homemade syrups, mixers, and glassware out of sight.

Beyond its base cabinet, the contemporary bar cart is forged from all-weather materials to hold up against the rain or shine if you choose to use it outdoors. It also features a streamlined silhouette complete with two angular towel bars that lend the design a luxurious look despite its affordable price.

A tempered glass tabletop offers space to mix up your famous summer cocktails while a second tier provides a natural space to store plates and napkins when serving snacks. While we appreciate the impressive hidden and open air storage space, the glass top collects pollen and dust, requiring frequent cleaning. The rattan base also lends it a natural look that may not complement all styles.

Product Details: Dimensions: 51.18 x 35.43 x 19.69 inches | Material: Polyethylene wicker, tempered glass | Number of Tiers: Three

Best Pink

Linon Gina Midcentury Bar Cart

$92 at Amazon $80 at Target

The the Linon Gina Midcentury Bar Cart is a perfect bar cart for those who appreciate a Barbiecore moment. This fashionable bar cart features a midcentury-inspired silhouette and a breezy ballerina finish that adds whimsy to any corner of your home.

This bar cart features a tubular iron frame with a pale pink powder-coated finish and four casters that allow you to glide from room to room without spilling a drop of rosé on the way. Two mirrored tiers provide open-air storage for bottles of bubbly, ice buckets, and cocktail books. The reflective shelves blend in against the mod frame and allow the high-gloss pink finish to shine as the focal point for the design.

The frame features four hairpin-style legs that extend from the caster feet beyond the top shelf. Each leg creates a lip ideal for showing off your seasonal tea towel collection or fastening festive bunting for holiday celebrations. 

This cart stands out because it’s an understated pink hue easily styled with other colors and features a time-tested midcentury frame that yields an automatic cool factor. It doesn’t have any hanging storage for wine glasses, however, so you’ll have to store them elsewhere. 

Product Details: Dimensions: 32.5 x 30 x 17.25  inches | Material: Metal, mirror | Number of Tiers: Two

Best Handcrafted

Sybil Tortoise Wine Bar

View on Shopsocietysocial.com

The handmade Sybil Tortoise Wine Bar from Society Social features exceptional materials, quality craftsmanship, and folding panels that double the serving space.

This bar cart is made to order and forged from a rare rattan. The stationary cabinet features a removable tray top flanked by two drop-down shelves, providing a generous workspace to prep garnishes, shake up your signature cocktail, and line up your libations for guests.

An open-air cubby props up the tray top, offering your designated mixologist easy access to your seltzer water or bitters. An integrated wine rack for 20 bottles rounds out the base below. A narrow shelf beside the wine rack serves as the natural place to stow away favorite cocktail books.

The foldable panels and custom artistry make it stand out from its counterparts. Even so, this bar cart is indoor-use only and doesn’t have wheels.

Product Details: Dimensions: 38 x 29 x 19 inches | Material: Natural rattan | Number of Tiers: Three

Best Foldable

Origami Foldable Kitchen Island Cart

$188 at Amazon $176 at Target View on Origamirack.com

Functional and stylish, the Origami Foldable Wheeled Bar Cart is perfect for small spaces or occasional entertainers because it folds flat in a snap and is easily stored between events.

The cart features a durable powder-coated steel frame with an inky-black finish that holds up against regular use. A solid wood table top with a blonde finish adds cool contrast to the design and provides a prime locale for chopping garnishes. 

Below, two metal shelves offer a space to keep bar tools and essentials within reach. Four caster feet finish off the design, allowing you to transport drinks or appetizers from the kitchen to your family room with ease.

The wood top lifts off the metal frame, and the lower shelves collapse down the middle, allowing you to compress the entire cart accordion style and slide it into a closet or pantry for simple storage.

We are impressed with how easy it is to compress the bar cart after use, but it has a distinctly industrial aesthetic that may not work with all interiors.

Product Details: Dimensions: 36 x 25.3 x 19.8 inches | Material: Steel, wood | Number of Tiers: Three
