Make A Martini Bar

Do it yourself bars are such a neat idea. Everything placed out, ready for people to mix up their own drink. Here's Sunday Supperstake on a Martini bar - loving the rustic italian feel they have going on with the simple tablecloth, almost industrial decanters and pops of silverware. It makes me want to make a little Martini for myself, and I don't even drink Martini's!
