Best outdoor bar side table: Keter Pacific two-in-one bar side table

This is easily the most versatile piece of outdoor furniture we've ever seen. This side table is great for both setting drinks down as well as storing them. Lift up the table top and underneath it you'll find a hidden cooler that can store up to 40 12-ounce cans with ice. 

The lift top allows the table to rise up to 33 inches (nearly three feet), so this could also act as a bar table for your guests. What's more, the Keter Pacific bar side table is made of a resin that looks like wicker but offers the weather-resistant properties of plastic. 

Keter Pacific two-in-one bar side table has a 4.7-star rating at Walmart. One reviewer wrote: "Best thing I have ever bought. Great for outdoor entertaining, keeps drinks cold, and great size."

Another customer said, "Matches our wicker chairs and when raised is a perfect height to hold drinks on the side of our hot tub."

Best small outdoor bar table set: Latitude Run Amarin square outdoor dining set

This small bar table set will hold up well outdoors thanks to its durable metal material, which is both UV- and rust-resistant. It also comes with cushions, which will make sitting on the metal frame much more comfortable. 

The Latitude Run Amarin outdoor dining set would be great for small outdoor spaces or as a place to sit close to the pool (splashes of chlorine water will be less damaging to metal than wood patio furniture).

The Latitude Run Amarin square outdoor dining set has a 4.6-star rating on Wayfair. One reviewer wrote, "This is a great size for our condo deck. I love that it is aluminum because the salt water air is really hard on any kind of painted metal. We wanted the bar height stools and table as it makes for better viewing over the railings to see the water. This was a great find on Wayfair for a great price."
