The last year seemed to fly but, with nothing to speak of except the Pandemic really. Socialising has taken a back foot and many of us can’t even remember the last time we enjoyed a good night out. With limitations in pubs and bars likely to extend into the summer, some clever people have created their very own garden bar to enjoy a tipple. We take a look at 5 reasons to create your own garden bar below.
No Need to Get Dressed Up
The beauty of having a bar in your back garden is the fact you can enjoy it in your pyjamas if you wish. getting ready for a night out can take hours for some. When you’re drinking in the privacy of your own home there is no dress code, unless you want to implement one. Of course, you may decide to have guests over to drink in your bar with you once allowed, but your friends don’t need you to go to the extent you might to hit the town.
It Will Save You Money
Going out can be costly, there are drinks, outfits, hair and beauty as well as travel expenses to consider. All of these costs can be greatly reduced or even eliminated by having your very own garden bar. No more taxi’s to cover the cost of is just one huge benefit. All that money saved can be spent elsewhere.
Your Friends Will Love You
Tell friends to bring a bottle and add them to the bar whenever you have a party, BBQ or get together. Everyone will want to gather at yours where the amenities are, which once again will save you travelling money. You can create the bar to cater for the things you love ie adding a dartboard, TV or perhaps a karaoke machine.
Your Garden Bar Has The Best Opening Hours
Whenever you decide you want to open up your garden bar, you can. Fancy a drink at 5am, normal bars would be closed, but yours is open to you when you need it! Likewise, whenever you want to go to bed and close up you can. No taxi queues or long journey home, you can stagger up the garden path straight to your bed if you wish.
No Nasty Surprises
We’ve all been to a bar with sticky drinks spilt all over the floor, playing awful cheesy music with uncomfortable seating – if you can even manage to get a seat. The beauty of your garden bar is it’s decorated and furnished to your taste and comfort. There’s always a seat for you and you are the master of the music. Finally, you don’t have to put up with those unwanted company. You choose the guest list. You don’t run the risk of bumping into the people who annoy you, or you dislike. the experience is as you make it.
