Masquerading as a piece of furniture, the bar cabinet is a chic yet discreet way to organize spirits and glassware while keeping them close at hand. From low, credenzalike shapes to tall pieces that look more like armoires, bar cabinets have many forms. Helpful features to look for: adjustable shelves for fitting bottles of various heights, racks for glassware, built-in bottle holders and extra drawers. If the top isn’t low enough to provide a work surface, make sure the cabinet has a pull-out shelf for mixing drinks. Styles abound, but here are two of our favorites:
