The Coolest Home Bars on Airbnb

We always have a good drink on the brain—even when we’re booking travel. There are tons of hotels across the world that cater to cocktailians, whether they feature complimentary happy hours, swim-ups bars or rooftop lounges with sweeping views. Even though we love the hotel life, sometimes Airbnb is a better option for certain locations and budgets. Fortunately there are plenty of homes on Airbnb with bars that are way more impressive than any hotel mini bar. So the next time you want to cozy up to homier accommodations, book one of these beautiful Airbnb rentals that feature some of the coolest home bars we’ve seen. Stock up at the liquor store before you check in and play bartender for the duration of your stay.
