HOME SIPS
Home bars are popular for a reason: They’re handy when you want a great cocktail without stepping out, and they are perfect for inviting friends over for a convivial social hour. But unless you’re ready to call a contractor to make built-ins, it’s hard to get the “real bar” experience at home. Hillsdale Furniture’s answer is the timeless pub ambience of their Classic Cherry Large Bar & Side Bar that fits in a 6.5 ft. x 5 ft. space. It’s also available without the side bar, should you have tighter space constraints; HillsdaleFurniture.com.
