Designs for a Patio Bar

Popular themes this year and most years are the South Pacific and Tiki theme. Now with the new spool (spa-pool), your guest can enjoy the best in bar and poolside fun.


  • Design of the bar demands an understanding of your backyard limits and potentials. Look at your backyard and decide where is a private area, that will not wake up the neighbors is a major concern in your bar design. Additions like spa next to the bar and a few bar chairs complete a simple patio bar design.

  • Find a theme for example Modern Expressionist, Post-Modern Angst, Scotch Highland, B's Beers, Sanghai Hilton or Tiki's Tiki are all good. Draw out your dream patio bar and grotto with pool.

  • Tiki's Tiki items needed are a small lagoon or grotto, Polynesian music, Hawaiian prints, surfboard shack and bar along with special coconut bar bowls.

  • Create a Scotch Highland, a spa with the Lochness monster timed to arrive around the closing time. A tartan or two on your family crest. Patio and bar of concrete and wood, with a few swords and tartans across the wood stained alcoves. A fog machine, authentic sounds of the lochness you recorded and special scotch.

  • Vampire's Hideaway- well Gothic says it all, a pool in the spires the patio bar now a gothic archway with gargoyles and a red tinge to the cocktails.

  • The ultimate design theme for the patio bar is the pirate’s grotto. You will need an authentic sunken boat, turned into a bar. A grotto spool with a skull and cross bones rock for your pirate’s booty. Dead men tell no tales.
