Bar tables for the garden, patio and parties
Bar tables are ideal if you want to create flexible surfaces in the garden, on the patio, on the balcony or at parties. A garden bar table is perfect for drinks, snacks, decorations or as a social gathering spot for barbecues, birthdays and receptions. Models that are stable, made from weather-resistant materials and can be set up to suit the occasion are particularly practical.
On the balcony, compact bar tables are a space-saving addition to balcony furniture, as they require little floor space yet still offer enough room for drinks or small snacks. For larger outdoor areas, they can be easily combined with seating sets, lounge furniture or garden furniture sets.

Important Questions Before Purchasing
What Types of Bar Tables Are Available?
Bar tables are available to suit various needs: compact for balconies and terraces, robust for garden parties, decorative for events, or extra-large for large groups. Key factors include construction, shape, height, material, stability and the number of people who will be using the table.
Folding bar tables
A folding bar table is a practical choice if you only use it when needed. A folding bar table can be set up quickly, stored to save space and used flexibly for garden parties, club gatherings, camping or small outdoor areas. For outdoor events, folding models are particularly well-suited to party tents, as they can be set up and taken down quickly.
Round bar tables
Round bar tables encourage conversation, as guests stand facing each other. They are ideal for drinks, finger food and short breaks during celebrations. Depending on the diameter, they usually comfortably seat two to four people.
Height-adjustable bar tables
Height-adjustable bar tables are practical when the table is to be used whilst standing or sitting. They adapt to various situations and are suitable for balconies, terraces, hobby rooms or events with changing requirements.
Acacia wood bar tables
Acacia wood bar tables bring a natural, high-quality look to outdoor spaces and pair well with garden furniture featuring wooden or natural designs. The robust hardwood is suitable for gardens, terraces and balconies, but should be maintained regularly and stored in a protected place during prolonged periods of non-use.
Bar tables with extensions
For large garden parties, club events or social gatherings, bar tables with extensions are a space-saving solution. Models with four extensions can seat up to 20 people, depending on the design, and complement classic beer tent sets. A central hole allows for the insertion of a parasol to shade the seating area when needed.
What should you look out for when buying a bar table?
- Location: For outdoor use, weather-resistant surfaces, sturdy legs and a secure footing on patios, paving or lawns are essential.
- Construction: Foldable bar tables are versatile, whilst fixed models often offer particularly stable support.
- Shape: Round tables encourage conversation, whilst square or rectangular models can be arranged space-efficiently against walls or in rows.
- Height: A typical bar table height is around 105 to 115 cm.
- Material: Plastic is lightweight, metal is robust, and acacia wood is natural and decorative.
- Number of people: Small bar tables are suitable for two to four people; bar tables with extensions are ideal for significantly larger groups.
- Care: Outdoor models should be stored in a dry place or protected during prolonged rain.
If you use a bar table as a permanent gathering spot in the garden, it’s worth combining it with matching garden chairs or bar stools. For sunny locations, a pavilion can offer additional shelter and visually separate the area from the rest of the garden.
