The Publisher's Picks: Top-Shelf Wet Bars & Living Spaces

Penthouse Wet Bar & Wine Fridge

Cocktail hour is even more intoxicating when enjoyed by the bold and beautiful wet bar (above) created for a Back Bay penthouse renovation by custom builder Adams & Beasley Associates. The bleached walnut bar, the color of fine bourbon, is bejeweled by a backlit honey onyx backsplash and floating star fire glass shelves that add drama and intrigue. 

Living Room Bar

Now this is living. The homeowners of this Brendon Properties’ home can belly up to the bar in their very own living room. This mirrored, Tiffany-blue wet bar is dynamic and social and the toast of this elegant living space. The inspired design has a clubby vibe and is the perfect solution for people who like to entertain. 

The Walsh Bar Cart

Available at ARTEFACT

This portable bar cart, designed and artisan made in the USA for ARTEFACT, is a modern-day riff on an Art Deco style bar cart. More understated than Gatsby, but no less glam, the frame’s finish is a custom umber (hand rubbed to an antique patina), while the stone top is honed Nero Marquina marble. The black stone marble has a velvety feel and is one of the most important marbles from Spain. 

Media Space & Lounge

Interior design by Interiology Design Co.

Created for a film buff by Interiology Design Co., this entertainment center and viewing lounge does movie night right. The space is equipped with a projection TV (a must!), a comfortable sectional, and tiered seating at the bar for a full view of the screen. A wet bar with custom cabinetry (stained espresso on pecan) is an elevated refreshment stand, with its beverage refrigerator, sink, microwave, storage and pendant lighting.
