Bar Cart Essentials
Savoury goods to outfit the home’s party hub
RAISE THE BAR
Make a mean drink with the all-in-one Bar10der. The handy tool features two knives for slicing, dicing and styling garnishes; a stirrer and strainer; and, of course, a bottle opener and corkscrew. $45, at IQ Living, 542 Danforth Ave
SNACK ZONE
Gather around this five-piece appetizer set from Alessi. Made from thermoplastic resin and stainless steel, the dishes sit at various heights – hugging a central meat, cheese and bread platter. The set also includes a toothpick holder and waste bin. $250, at Rolo, 24 Bellair St
CART WHEEL
Two rubber-rimmed wheels – for smooth maneuvering – sandwich dual trays and deliver maximum cocktail dispensing. Made from MDF wood, the cart comes painted in white or red, or in a natural oak finish. $2950, at Suite 22 Interiors, 160 Bullock Dr, Markham
REFINED PALATE
This set of coasters will please any pint aficionado. Inspired by traditional shipping pallets, the coasters are made from recycled wood, coated with a matte lacquer for a spill-resistant finish. $25/5, at Up To You, 1483 Queen St E
NUT JOB
Carl Mertens’ Verso is a germ-free alternative to digging-hands-in-bowl syndrome. Part serving vessel, part peanut scoop, the stainless steel host tool is dishwasher safe. $100, at Studio Brillantine, 1518 Queen St W
