Collins Black Wood Bar

The Collins Black Wood bar is oh-so-sleek and wildly sophisticated. It features bold geometric patterns, creating a striking focal point that feels both modern and timeless. Its sharp lines and deep, dark finish give it an edgy sophistication, perfect for adding drama and elegance to any event. Rent a bar like this if you love a classic look or if you’ve chosen other Art Deco-style decor.

Alice Bar

The Alice bar has a light wood tone—a stark contrast to the Collins bar. Its coloring and intricate lattice detail give it an airy and inviting look. We particularly enjoy using Alice in outdoor settings like gardens and meadows, though it can be a beautiful indoor piece too. It works year-round, but spring is when it truly shines.

Style it with: Classic glass beverage jar, rattan stand, Pure glassware, whimsical pastel florals

Perfect for: Garden parties, or bohemian-style celebrations, outdoor weddings, relaxed family reunions, baby showers

With all sections combined, it becomes one of our largest bars, ideal for grand outdoor spaces and high-ceilinged indoor venues. The crisp white finish complements any decor style and blends seamlessly with any color scheme.
