For serious entertainers in Broken Arrow, a built-in outdoor kegerator takes the backyard bar experience from good to unforgettable. VistaScapes Design & Build integrates kegerators, bar taps, and full outdoor bar setups into custom outdoor kitchens and entertainment areas throughout the Tulsa metro area.
What Is an Outdoor Kegerator?
An outdoor kegerator is a refrigerated unit designed to keep a keg cold and dispense draft beer directly from a tap. Unlike indoor kegerators, outdoor models are built to withstand heat, humidity, and UV exposure — critical for an Oklahoma summer backyard. When integrated into an outdoor kitchen island, the tap tower becomes a natural focal point for any gathering.
Outdoor Bar Design Options
Full Outdoor Bar Island
A dedicated bar island separate from — or attached to — the cooking station creates a defined social area. We design bar islands with overhang seating (typically 12–15 inches of knee clearance), integrated kegerator, wine refrigerator, ice maker, and under-bar storage. The bar side faces guests; the working side faces the host.
L-Shaped or U-Shaped Kitchen with Bar Wing
Many Broken Arrow outdoor kitchens naturally accommodate a bar wing — one arm of the kitchen configured with barstool seating and a beverage station. This keeps guests engaged at the kitchen without crowding the cooking area. VistaScapes designs the layout so traffic flow works naturally whether you’re hosting a casual Friday night or a bigger party.
Standalone Bar with Pergola
A standalone outdoor bar structure — sometimes called a “backyard pub” — positioned under a custom pergola or pavilion creates its own destination on your property. These projects often include a TV mount, pendant lighting, and bar-height seating around three sides for the full pub experience.
Outdoor Kegerator Brands We Work With
VistaScapes sources outdoor-rated kegerators from brands including Perlick, Kegco, and Danby. Perlick’s outdoor series is particularly well-regarded for holding temperature in extreme Oklahoma summer heat. We recommend discussing your usage patterns and local climate conditions during the design consultation so we match the right unit to your needs.
Plumbing and Gas Connections for Outdoor Bars
A fully equipped outdoor bar may require multiple utility connections: water supply and drain for the bar sink, CO₂ or nitrogen lines for draft beer, electrical for refrigeration and lighting, and natural gas or propane for any cooking appliances. VistaScapes coordinates all subcontractor trades and permits so the project moves from design to completion without the usual contractor coordination headaches.
