I just found the quickest way to make your yard the coveted hangout spot of the summer—an inflatable bar. Yes, the same kind of inflatables that are used in kids’ bouncy houses can transform your backyard space into the ultimate hangout for grownups, and it’s pretty easy to do. Just plug in the inflatable, set up the blower, and watch the pub come to life within minutes.
Admittedly, these are going to be expensive, but if you host a lot, this could be a worthwhile investment. Plus, with these being portable between uses, you don’t have to commit to finding the perfect spot, and can even pack them in the car.
Editor’s note: Since these are inflatable, handle them like you would a camping tent: Make sure to use the included stakes and ropes for security, and avoid using the inflatables in heavy winds or extreme weather.

Are swim-up bars more your style than a nightclub? That’s an option with this inflatable that is part wading pool, part bar. You can serve your refreshments while staying cool under the massive canopy. Note that this small pool is meant for just a few inches of water for cooling off and relaxing, and should be set up on a flat surface.

For a family reunion or barbecue where you invite the whole block, consider this massive inflatable tent. There’s even a covered pavilion area in the front to provide shade. Since this is made out of plastic, it could get stuffy inside, but there are doors on either side to help with ventilation. This is the largest version of this model, but they make smaller ones if you’ve got space constraints.
