Backyard Swim Up Bar and Pool Bar Ideas

shop-mgr2023-05-19T02:03:33+00:00

January 5, 2022

Adding a swim up pool bar to your backyard is the perfect way to make your pool party experience even better. At Global Pool Products, we manufacture high quality swim up bars that you can easily add to your inground pool. Check out our Over the Edge models:

  • High top bar
  • 3 person bar
  • 5 person bar

Adding a swim up bar will not only provide a fun place for guests to gather and socialize, but it can also be a great spot for serving drinks and snacks. Having a free standing bar near, or next to your swim up bar can also make getting beverages faster, but also more fun. If you’re looking for some inspiration for your outdoor bar, here are a few ideas to get you started:

Create a chic tiki bar

If you want a swim-up bar with a bit of style, consider creating a tiki bar. This type of bar can be made from all sorts of materials, such as bamboo, thatch, or wood. You can also add decorative touches like torches and flower arrangements.

A chic tiki bar can also be created by covering your pool deck with charming old-fashioned Astroturf. You can add bright pillows and inflatable lounge chairs for an extra touch. You could even paint the inside of your pool to give it a tropical feel.

Go for a sleek modern look

If you’re looking for a more contemporary look, you can create a sleek modern swim-up bar. This bar type can be made from materials like stainless steel, glass, or stone. You can also add interesting features like LED lighting or a waterfall.

A sleek modern swim-up bar is the perfect way to show off your stylish backyard pool area.

Create a sports bar themed pool

If you and your friends are all sports fans, why not create a sports bar-themed pool? This type of swim-up bar can include all sorts of fun features, like a jukebox, arcade games, or even a popcorn machine. You can also decorate with team flags and banners.

A sports bar-themed pool is the perfect way to show your team spirit and have a great time with friends.

Go for a simple rustic look

If you’re looking for a more rustic look, you can create a swim-up bar from materials like wood or stone. You can also add features like a thatched roof or Adirondack chairs.

A simple rustic swim-up bar is the perfect way to add some country charm to your backyard pool area.

Add a wet bar

If you want a swim-up bar that can also be used as a wet bar, there are all sorts of options available. You can choose from traditional wet bar designs, like a U-shaped bar, or you can create something unique. For example, your swim-up bar could act as the base of a gazebo or pergola for your outdoor cooking area.

A wet bar on the poolside is the perfect way to maximize poolside space and set up an attractive bar that guests can gather around when they want to cool off.

Make it portable

Adding a portable swim-up pool bar to your backyard is a great way to use space efficiently. This bar type generally consists of one or more serving cart options that you can move out into the water when you need them, then store away when they’re not being used.

Even if you don’t have enough room for a full-sized swimming pool bar, adding a portable option is the perfect way to get guests into the water and enjoy your pool without worrying about serving them drinks.

Add a DIY poolside bar

Adding a DIY poolside bar is also an inexpensive alternative to buying an official swim-up bar. For example, you can use simple supplies like plywood and PVC piping to create an attractive rustic-style drink station that will fit in with your backyard design theme perfectly.

A do-it-yourself poolside bar is the ideal solution if you don’t have much money but want to provide guests with a fun place to gather around during your next party or social event.

Add a swim-up bar to your above-ground pool

If you don’t have a regular swimming pool or you’d like to make use of your existing outdoor space, consider adding a swim-up bar to your above-ground pool. This bar is generally attached to one end of the pool and can be covered with a lid when it isn’t being used.

Adding a swim-up bar will allow guests to take advantage of both the water and the deck surrounding it for an added dimension of fun at all times.

Go for a laid-back vibe

Adding a simple wooden lounge at the edge of your pool can help create a fun, relaxed atmosphere. You could even add twinkling lights to the surrounding trees so you’ll be able to admire them as you enjoy your drinks.

A laid-back swim-up bar is perfect for making socializing with friends an enjoyable part of your poolside experience.

Utilize unusual materials

If you’re looking for something more unique, you might consider using materials like reclaimed wood or bamboo in your swim-up bar design. These materials are popular right now and can give your backyard area an interesting look that guests are sure to love.

Using unusual materials is ideal for creating a fun, themed party atmosphere – even if your pool isn’t technically a “swim-up” bar.

When it comes right down to it, there are all sorts of different ways to set up a swim up bar in your backyard pool area. Whether you’re looking for a traditional or unique design, there’s sure to be something that will fit your needs. So get creative with your backyard pool bar ideas and have some fun with your next backyard party!
