ipping cocktails around a wellappointed outdoor bar offers a relaxed , casual atmosphere that sets the stage for laid-back , carefree time together . If you love hosting parties or entertaining guests outside in the Southern California sunshine , a backyard bar setup is a great way to expand your social space and turn simple gatherings into a memorable day or evening with friends and family .
