Hot take: I’d rather hang out in my backyard with good company and a bottle of wine than trek to the local bar. No shade to my neighborhood watering holes—there’s just nothing quite like a small party in the comfort of your own home surrounded by the people you love. Only one thing could make those get-togethers even better: a literal bar that you can build right on your property, and I found one on Amazon.
This backyard bar from Modern Shade Outdoor Living Spaces has everything you need for summertime soirées, from a walk-up bar top to a ready-to-go TV mount. (You’ll have to supply the TV, of course—but luckily, there are tons on sale ahead of Memorial Day.)
There’s even a built-in paper towel holder for quick cleanups, along with two outlets and charging ports for your visitors’ phones (USB and USB-C).
An entertainment area of this caliber might seem intimidating to set up, but you’ll get an instruction manual with your purchase—and it sounds doable. One shopper wrote that it’s “easy to put together with very specific directions,” while another shared assemble “wasn’t super easy, but it wasn’t terrible either.”
When built, the unit measures about 6 by 11 feet—and it’s primarily made with cedar wood pieces. According to the brand, the structure is waterproof and offers protection against UV light.
Right now, you can have your backyard getaway for 13% off—but Amazon is offering a $100 coupon that’ll bring the price down to $1,199.
According to shoppers who’ve made their purchase, it’s a good investment. One person wrote, “I absolutely love this gazebo! It has been a perfect addition to our backyard pool area.” Other reviewers rave about the fast shipping (for such a big item) and the customer service.
I don’t know about you, but I’m sold. If you have Prime and order this today, it’ll likely arrive sometime next week (depending on where you live). It’s perfect timing for warm-weather shindigs, if you ask me.
