Bar Cabinet
WET BAR · DRY BAR · WINE STORAGE · MIRRORED BACK
Wet Bars, Wine Walls & Glass Display
The cocktail-hour pocket of the home — dinner-party prep, weekend family gatherings, the place a household ends up after a long week. Home-bar and wet-bar cabinetry — base cabinets sized for a bar fridge or kegerator. Upper open shelving for stemware and decanters, wine-bottle storage racks, and mirrored or stone-tile back panels. Available with bar-height vanity-light fixtures and integrated LED toe-kick. Use the same door styles you'd run in the kitchen so the bar reads as an extension of the room.
VILLA & COUNTRY HOME
Statement wine walls, butler's pantries, cigar and whisky rooms. Custom millwork bars with full-height wine storage (climate-control unit optional) and glass-cabinet upper display. Deep counter for cocktail prep, integrated humidor drawer, and mirrored or back-painted glass back panels. Built as a single coordinated package with the kitchen and dining-room cabinetry.
NEW HOME BUILD
Home bars, basement entertainment rooms, butler's pantries off the new kitchen. A wet-bar cabinet run typically pairs a base cabinet (fridge cutout + drawer for cocktail tools), an open-shelf upper, and a wine-storage column. Finishes pulled from the same paint and door-style range as the main kitchen so the home reads consistently. Vanity-style bar light fixtures from the same supplier can light the back-bar shelves.
APARTMENT & CONDO
Dining-alcove dry bars, condo wine display, apartment kitchen built-ins. Compact bar-cabinet packages — base cabinet for a bar fridge, open-shelf upper for stemware, and a wine-storage column. Sized to the actual wall in your apartment. Finishes pulled from the same range as the kitchen cabinetry so the bar reads as one room with the rest of the home.
HOSPITALITY
Hotel lounges, restaurant back-bar runs, club millwork, members'-room cabinetry, amenity-deck wet bars. Wet-bar cabinet runs with stainless-steel inset sinks, ice-bin cutouts, glass racks under the bar overhang, and back-bar bottle shelving with mirror or stone-tile back. Hardware spec'd for daily service use — soft-close drawer slides rated for high cycle counts, brushed-stainless or solid-brass pulls. Repeat-unit fabrication for build-to-rent and clubhouse bars across a portfolio.

How to Spec for Your Project
Send a photo or sketch of the wall the bar will sit against, along with the wall width and ceiling height. List the appliances you plan to install — bar fridge model, kegerator, ice maker, sink and faucet if it's a wet bar. Tell us the bottle count you want to display and whether wine storage should be visible or hidden. Pick a back-wall treatment (mirror, tile, back-painted glass) so the run reads as part of the room.
About Our Bar Cabinet Range
A bar cabinet is a millwork run sized for entertaining. Base cabinets for a bar fridge or kegerator. Open or glass-front uppers for stemware, wine storage, and a designed back wall in mirror, stone tile, or painted glass. Wet or dry; standalone or built into a wall.
A bar cabinet is not a kitchen cabinet. The base needs a cutout sized to the specific bar fridge or kegerator model you'll install. The upper needs to display stemware and decanters at the right shelf depth. The back wall is part of the design — mirrored, stone-tiled, or painted glass — not just a wall behind a row of bottles. We build wet bars (with sink, ice bin, and plumbing knockouts) and dry bars (open shelving and glass-front uppers). We also build wine walls, kegerator runs, butler's pantries, and full back-bar runs for hotel lounges. Door styles pull from the same shaker, flat-panel, and slab range as the kitchen, so the bar reads as part of the home. Designed in our Guangdong workshop and crafted by a team that has been working in cabinetry for 25+ years.
Every bar order starts from the room — the wall the bar will sit against, the appliances you've picked, the rooms it has to coordinate with. We return a CAD elevation with each cabinet drawn out and the back-wall treatment shown to scale. Specialty hardware (wine cradles, glass racks, mirrored panels, LED strips) is called out box-by-box. On our floor each run is trial-assembled with the fridge cutout and sink cutout test-fitted to your appliance dimensions. Then we disassemble and flat-pack the run, with the mirror or stone-tile back panels protected on their own pallet. Bar light bar fixtures and LED strip kits ship in a separate accessory box. After delivery, your contractor or installer handles fitting. We provide an assembly guide and a step-by-step video. Where local installation is available in your region, we help you find a vetted installer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you include wine storage in a bar unit?
Yes. Three options. A horizontal cradle insert that fits inside a standard cabinet. A vertical wine column with X-rack or grid-cell storage. Or a full wine wall with climate control unit and glass front. Tell us the bottle count you're targeting. Note whether you want display-led (visible bottles) or capacity-led (max bottles in min footprint), and we draw it accordingly.
Do you supply matching open shelving and back-wall panels?
Yes. Open shelving (wood, glass, or metal-and-glass), brass or stainless display rails, and back-wall treatments all ship as part of the bar package. Back-wall options include mirror (clear, bronze, smoke), back-painted glass, stone tile, and stained wood. The back panel arrives pre-cut to the cabinet run width, ready to mount before the upper cabinets go up.
Is plumbing included for a wet bar?
The cabinet ships with sink cutout and plumbing knockouts drilled in the back panel and the cabinet sized to your sink and faucet. Sink and faucet themselves are typically supplied locally so warranty and parts service stay close to home. We coordinate the cutout with whatever sink model you spec.
How is a bar cabinet packed for ocean freight?
Cabinets ship flat-pack, doors wrapped separately, hardware packed with each cabinet. Mirror and glass back panels ship on a dedicated pallet with foam padding and corner protection. Stone-tile back panels ship in wooden crates banded to the pallet. Everything is labeled by location and an assembly guide ships with the container.
Do you provide drawings my local engineer can stamp?
Yes. Shop drawings reference the relevant code families for the United States, Australia, and Canada (IRC, IBC, AS 1657, AS 1288, NCC, CSA). For bar cabinets the engineering review usually covers wall-mounting loads for tall back-bar runs and any plumbing-coordination notes. A licensed engineer in your jurisdiction handles final stamping.
