It's Spirits Month! Get in on all the booze-filled fun.

Ideally, your place would include an outfitted wet bar at which you could entertain hordes of partygoers. Alas, for most of us, that doesn't seem to be in the cards.

Improvise with an old-school bar cart, which has enjoyed a renaissance of sorts in recent years. Equal parts style and function, they pull double-duty (storage and serving), while instantly adding a cool retro vibe to any space. Most have wheels, so you can scoot them around as you see fit, but we prefer treating them as a piece of furniture.

Ranging from classic bamboo to an industrial cart, our picks run the design and price gamut (and be warned: bar carts are a simple piece of furniture that can get pricy fast). Check them all out, then start planning your next cocktail party.
