Every celebration has its gathering spot—and in the South, the bar is where the most fun memories are made! From toasts to first dances, a beautifully designed bar can bring everyone together and set the tone for the event. Whether you’re planning a wedding, corporate event, family reunion, or another special gathering, rent a bar that fits your theme or style. We carry a wide variety of options here at Southern! Today, explore a few of our favorite bars and get inspired with our styling tips for each.

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.

Style it with: Cybil glassware, black bar back shelf, black Chiavari barstool, large and cascading florals

Perfect for: Winter celebrations, corporate events, black-tie weddings, and Art Deco-themed gatherings

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

Thompson Full Oval White Bar

If you’re looking to make a statement, the Thompson Full Oval White bar is your go-to centerpiece! Its modular design allows you to customize the size to fit your space perfectly, from intimate settings to large, open venues. 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.

Style it with: Beaded glassware, cross-back chair, Palmer bistro table

Perfect for: Modern weddings, luxe corporate events, stylish cocktail hours where versatility is key

Chelsea Bar

The Chelsea Marble Top bar brings refined elegance with its unique texture and luxurious materials. Made of gold-fluted wood with a sleek marble top, it combines classic charm and modern style—perfect for upscale events. The gold finish adds warmth and a touch of glamor, and for a show-stopping moment, you can even build a champagne tower on top to make it a true eye-catcher.

Style it with: Gatsby coupe, Avalon coffee table, gold Chiavari chair

Perfect for: Upscale weddings, holiday parties, hosts who appreciate the little details

Whiskey Barrel Bar

The Whiskey Barrel bar adds rustic charm with its authentic, repurposed barrel design. Made from sturdy wood, it brings a natural, Southern flair to any event. Perfect for casual gatherings, barn weddings, or outdoor celebrations, this bar is ideal for serving whiskey, craft cocktails, or local brews, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

Style it with: Hobnob glassware, Monaco tumbler, Fruitwood farm tables

Perfect for: Barn venues, whiskey tastings, casual events
