You love to entertain so you take pains to know as much as possible about how to set up a bar at home. Some homes have a permanent space for their bar supplies. A cabinet will contain glass barware, ice containers and of course a stacked wine cabinet. For those without this kind of set up a buffet cabinet or table can be put up temporarily. A good location will be near the kitchen. This will make replenishment of supplies easy. Cleaning up spills will also be more convenient.

A bar should be positioned as far from the food as possible. This will ease traffic in the food area and prevent large groups of people from gathering together in one place. Once you have the location, you can think about furnishing it with the right glassware. Your list of essential glassware will include high balls for straight drinks, old fashioned for single malts or drinks on the rocks, white wine, red wine and champagne flutes, liqueur glasses, beer mugs or tall glasses and cocktail glasses.
