Many people associate swim-up bars with hotels and tropical resorts. However, these bars are becoming increasingly popular as additions to residential swimming pools. If you’re interested in customizing your swimming pool with a feature that can enhance parties or family barbecues, consider the benefits of a swim-up bar with a custom countertop design.

4 Benefits of Swim-Up Pool Bars

1. Save Space

Create a bar-pool combination to save backyard space. Installing a tiki bar or outdoor kitchen requires space you may not have. Pool-bar combos eliminate this problem so you, your family, and all guests get to enjoy your backyard without feeling claustrophobic.

2. Enjoy Refreshments Easily

Pour yourself a cold glass of water, get a beer, or savor favorite summer dishes without leaving the pool. There’s no reason to vacate your comfortable float and towel off when this convenient bar is attached to your pool. Simply swim or float over to the bar and get what you need without missing one moment of fun.

3. Attract Friends & Family

Let your friends and extended family know about your new poolside addition to encourage them to stop by. Add pool bar information to every invitation you send for bigger turnouts, since many people are happy to enjoy a libation or snack in the water. Your new pool bar also serves as a natural place to gather and chat.

4. Customize to Your Preference

Personalize your pool bar exactly as you like. Depending on your tastes, you can ask your contractors for a quartz countertop or other custom countertop design that adds elegance and practicality to your swimming space. Install an audio system for a poolside soundtrack, or set up a television for watching sports and other special events. Create shelves dedicated to clear and brown liquors, or even consider installing a tap.
