Bottoms Up! We’re Toasting 7 Spectacular Home Bars

For true fans of bubbles, cocktails, and beer, the best way to imbibe is to mix or pour a drink at your own personal bar.

After all, why feel obliged to trudge to a crowded pub when you’ve got a relaxing respite at home? And when we talk about a home bar, we’re not referring to a kitchen island with a few dingy, mismatched beer mugs. We mean bar stools, storage for bottles of wine or spirits, perhaps even taps for beer. Nice glassware organized and within reach.

Hosts will find this amenity turns their home into an enticing pad for inviting family and friends over to watch the game, kick back for happy hour, or wile away the winter months indoors.

It can be a sleek ’70s-style built-in with tons of tufted leather and wood paneling. Or an old world–style pub with amazing craftsmanship.

From Milwaukee to Los Angeles—and spots in between—here are seven home bars worth toasting. Cheers!

Price: $1,150,000
Guzzle like a Gatsby: Close to Lake Michigan’s shoreline on Milwaukee’s East Side, this five-bedroom Victorian/Federal style home was built in 1904.
