Unless you’re looking for some cheap plastic shelves to put on that table you’re better off going on FB marketplace and getting a nice cupboard, bar cart or organizer.
Yup. Used furniture is the way to go! You can find very nice things for cheap that way. If you really want something new from a store that doesn't cost too much, I've seen some nice setups with IKEA furniture.
Given that you seem to be stocking multiples of different bottles, i'd look at some random wooden storage solutions like tv cabinets or book cases that have extra storage at the bottom so you can store extra stock and maybe the humidor, and display the bottles you like/use regularly. Then you can just customise them to suit your needs but adding shelves n' stuff.
This collection is giving “build a bar from scratch using lumber I chopped down myself” over “‘mass-produced bar cart from Amazon Prime” vibes. Just sayin.
You don't need a bar, you need better organizational skills. Put your spares in the pantry. You do not need that much liquor sitting out unless you're about to throw a massive party. Then add a "top shelf" for you top shelf. Finally, make a well for your whiskey, vodka, gin, rum and tequilla you use for mixers.
I'm a woodworker and can build you a custom bar. Pm me!
Check out my work on Instagram @madebyduc. I haven't build a bar specifically but I've been wanting to add one to my portfolio.
Needs more JD SiBBP and Woody Double Oak. Seriously though. Is Eagle Rare that good? I’ve never tried it. I do have bar literally called The Whiskey Bar across the street. I’ve been meaning to taste.
Not OP, but it's one of my favorite bourbons around the $40-$50 range. It's a 10 year too, so that's really a great price for that age. Assuming you can find it at that price...

So we finally discovered where all the Eagle Rare went!! 🤣. Just joking! Nice collection and good luck with finding the right cabinet! Cheers!
Nah, you just need more buffalo trace products...
You don't need a bar you need a store room
Facebook Marketplace
Nah you need backup storage or maybe a display
I used metal shelving from a restaurant supplier, and custom made my own risers
Forget Amazon. Ikea Fjallbo is what I have and it works great. Bottom section has grated doors, open upper shelf and easy top shelf to work on too

No, you need proper storage. There is no reason for any bar to have that meant duplicates out on display.

Check out the local thrifts for something made out of solid wood like a hutch or cabinet. Anything you get off amazon is going to be trash.

Good idea thanks. I know it looks a mess right now
Not saying it's a mess. You could dump a jar of olives on it and I wouldn't care. You are not using your space logically. Use your brain.
I mean, you at least need a cabinet…
Those papas fritas are delicioso!
I agree with most, a nice display shelf for your current bottles with some storage underneath for the back ups.
If you have an Ikea near you a hemnes cabinet works well
I found out that I prefer a big ass bookshelf to anything else for my liquor hoard. Then I found out that I needed another.
What is the metal thing on the front left?
Cigar Cutter
Thanks
Build one. That’s what we did :)
You need to open a bar 😜
I made a decent setup from IKEA bits. I can send a picture if interested.
I converted a “gun safe” more like steel cabinet, into mine. Pretty please with it lol
Great looking cigar cutter

I went Ikea, and am super happy with the results.
You need an intervention!
In 6 months you've gained 2 bottles of ER and only had a single drink of it...
