Outdoor Bar Area Options for Broken Arrow Backyards
Simple Outdoor Bar Counter
A built-in concrete or stone bar counter with bar-height seating is the entry-level outdoor bar build. No plumbing required — just a solid, attractive surface for setting drinks, snacks, and entertaining. Typically 6–10 feet long with 3–5 bar stools. Built from concrete masonry unit (CMU) block with stone veneer or poured concrete with a decorative top. Cost range: $3,500–$6,000.
Outdoor Wet Bar
Add a sink with hot and cold water to your outdoor bar counter, and you have a true wet bar. No more running inside for water — you can rinse glasses, fill ice buckets, and clean up outside. Requires a plumbing rough-in. Cost adds $1,500–$3,500 to the bar counter cost. Popular among Broken Arrow homeowners who entertain frequently.
Full Outdoor Bar with Refrigeration
The premium outdoor bar setup includes: bar counter, wet bar sink, under-counter refrigerator (holds beer, wine, mixers), ice maker or separate ice bin, and bar lighting. This setup supports a full party without any trips inside. Requires electrical rough-in in addition to plumbing. Cost range: $10,000–$18,000.
Outdoor Kitchen with Bar Section
The most popular complete setup: a full outdoor kitchen (grill, side burner, storage cabinets) with a dedicated bar section on one end or as a perpendicular bar counter. Bar stool seating faces the action — guests watch the cook while socializing. Built in stone, concrete, or stainless steel frame with stone veneer. Cost range: $18,000–$40,000 for kitchen + bar.
Outdoor Bar Construction Materials
Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) with Stone Veneer
The structural industry standard for outdoor built-in features. CMU block provides the structure; natural stone veneer (limestone, fieldstone, stacked stone) provides the premium appearance. Extremely durable and weather-resistant. Most of our Broken Arrow outdoor bar projects use this approach.
Poured Concrete
Some homeowners prefer the seamless look of poured concrete with an integral color or stained finish. A concrete countertop and concrete bar structure is very durable and can incorporate unique design elements like embedded aggregate or custom edge profiles.
Outdoor-Rated Cabinetry
High-end aluminum or stainless steel outdoor cabinetry is available for built-in installations. These provide drawers and cabinets that work like an indoor kitchen but are weatherproof and UV-resistant. Often combined with a concrete or stone structural surround.
