Need to make a bar for your patio? This concrete bar cart is easy to roll around, classy, and comes in handy for get togethers out on the patio! The bar is made of 2×4 boards and fence pickets. Our bar top is made of concrete. Four clear coasters are embedded in the concrete with a drop in bucket added into the center. Optional LED lights can be strung underneath the clear coasters which will make your glass light up! I did this project in collaboration with Ryobi Nation. Check out the detailed video and instant plans below.

LED strip lights will make your bar light up all night long and can be strung underneath the clear acrylic coasters. The center ice cooler can be made out of a planter or a metal bucket/tub. I used a metal tub from Target. I cut out a hole in the bottom and patched it with acrylic so light would shine through the ice and drinks.
Concrete Top
This project involves pouring a concrete top. You’ll make a mold for the concrete out of melamine wood. The knockouts are made of 1 1/2 inch foam.
The Base
A base is constructed out of 2×4 boards and fence pickets. I picked cedar to use because it does well, holding up to the elements outdoors. Pine, fir, or other woods are other options that can be used to help bring costs down.
Fence pickets are then attached around the outside of the bar.
