In the Garden & Gun offices, you’ll find a few items you might not see in a typical corporate environment. A ham stand in the kitchen. A joggling board by the entry. Rope swings near the art department. And bar carts in nearly every office—stocked for celebrating at a moment’s notice. When choosing a bar cart for your home, think of it as the easy-going friend of furniture: It adds to the scene, and it travels well. Want to throw a porch party? Roll out a bar cart! Does your house feel a little stiff and uptight? Just add a bar cart! Here are nine stylish options to get you started.
