Home Bar Supplies, Bar Tools, and Accessories

---

Home Bar Tools are an essential part of your bar. In selecting what tools to buy, decide what kind of home bar you have or want to have, then get the bar accessories to fit those needs.

You have the option of going with a basic bar set that will handle your typical bar tool needs. Or if you have bigger bar plan ideas, then choose your supplies and accessories with any number of available tools and various bar gadgets that will make your bar as convenient and useful as you want it to be.

If you anticipate mostly a beer tavern, where beer is almost always the drink of choice, then the simplest of bar tools are probably all you'll need for now. A good bottle opener that can be attached to your bar, and one that's portable or one of the multi-tools are about all you probably need.

But should you have a bar where mixed drinks and/or wine will be frequently served, the standard of home bar supplies should be a good basic bar set with the basic tools to open all types of bottles, and with drink mixing supplies and measuring containers and devices.

First, let's take a look at what tools and accessories are found in your basic bar set. Of course, these vary from set to set, and you just have to gauge what tools will work best for you and your situation. But this is a good bar tool starting point.

A good basic bar tool set should contain ice tongs, a double jigger, a bar knife with can opener, a metal stirring stick, a bottle opener, a cocktail strainer, and a corkscrew for opening wine bottles. These tools will get you off to a good start and pretty much handle any of your small bartending jobs.

If you'd like to add a cocktail shaker or a lime squeezer or any number of other bar gadgets and bar accessories and then by all means go for it.

These and all home bar supplies are the backbone of your home bar, and anything that is convenient and makes your home bartending experiences a little easier is worth having.
