WHY a bar?

>>>

Agree, just add the winecellar of 10.000 bottles and nobody going to complain if it´s "still" raining out there

While I am not a big drinker (I enjoy the occasional glass of wine with family and friends), I do have friends who drink. And as a matter of courtesy and good hospitality, when entertaining guests, I make sure that there is a modest amount of wine and liquor available for anyone (of legal age) to enjoy.
As for me, as long as there is VERY COLD DIET COKE in the fridge,
I'm as happy as a clam!

You have bars and bars........Ice (ex-Air) has a sushi bar , Attessa a breakfast bar , Floridian (ex-Aussie Rules) a pool bar ......Andiamo has a very extensive bar (a galley) on the sun deck.

So many owners, so many lifestyles, so many bars

There are certainly some thoughtful responses here as to "Why a bar".
Interestingly, and while I've only been in the business for about thirty years, I did not come across the one of what I always thought were The Major Maxims.

To wit, simply: Yachting Is A Thirsty Business.
Period.

And to which there are subsections, one of which I'll add to provide grist for other threads in this mill, as it were:

Enough Is Enough, And Too Much Is Just Right

So many opinions on why a bar..

I see many owners having larger parties/gatherings that the to have a good staff to guest ratio would be just too busy... so have a bar for those how need to get their drink a little faster than waiting for wait staff.. The gathering point..

In a lot of normal home gatherings,the kitchen seems to be the gathering place. On a yacht the galley is usually a little cut off for the guests, so you need a bar.

It also provides a central location of the beverages.
