A wet bar is a small bar used for mixing and serving alcoholic beverages that includes a sink with running water. The sink allows for glasses to be cleaned immediately, and it can also be used for cleaning glassware as well as spills that may happen. Wet bars are found in homes for entertainment purposes, and they can increase the rate at which drinks are served due to the convenience of having a sink. Wet bars are relatively simple to build, and many homeowners have turned the wet bar into a do-it-yourself project.

The main difference between a wet bar and a dry bar is that a wet bar has plumbing and a sink with a drain, while a dry bar is a preparation space with no sink. Both types of home bars make entertaining guests more efficient while looking incredibly chic. Wet bars are typically located near a kitchen or in a finished basement, while dry bars can be located anywhere in the home. Wet bars can be incorporated into basically any room that you want to use to entertain, and can be large and used as a focal point or hidden in a nook of the room.

When choosing between a wet bar and a dry bar, it is important to consider your needs and preferences. Wet bars are ideal for those who love to entertain and want to be more present for their guests, as the sink allows for more complex drinks to be made and spills to be cleaned up easily. Dry bars are a good option for those who want a dedicated stretch of countertop or cabinets for preparing drinks and storing bar supplies, but do not need a sink.
