We entertain at our bar so I'm thankful to have this option. I've never had a bar in any of our homes with the exception of our patio villa which we owned in The Villages before purchasing our designer home. (I see a trend here, LOL!!!)

Besides setting up a buffet on the bar for gatherings, I also use the bar as a bar (literally). I serve our guests cocktails while they sit at the bar. I have my space for the bar set up on the lower tier with the liquors and everything else that is needed for mixing cocktails. I'm the bartender in our family.

It is so much fun to entertain this way. I have a counter height foldable bar stool that I sit on so I can face our guests and I sit on the other side of the bar. I store that collapsible bar stool in the laundry room.
