I’m calling this an outdoor serving bar, but the truth is, it would absolutely be suitable for indoor use, too. I used cedar for the project because I truly like working with this wood. On the other hand, oak, mahogany, or walnut would produce a dressier version. There’s a lot I like about this bar, but the thing that tops my list is its portability; it folds flat for easy transport and is surprisingly compact when it comes time to stow it away. With plenty of out-of-sight storage and an ample work surface, this just may be the perfect serving solution for your next shindig.
