What is a rolling bar?
1 Answer
One of the most useful components of any party is a rolling bar, often known as a bar cart, tea trolley or serving cart. In addition to showcasing your favorite bottles of rye and local small-batch gin — or juices and mocktail ingredients — there is an undeniable allure to stacking statement glassware, vintage martini cocktail shakers and Art Deco decanter sets atop your fully stocked mid-century modern bar cart. Shop a collection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rolling bars from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
