Wall Mounted Bottle Openers for your outdoor bar

Everyone knows that drinks taste better in glass but often the convenience of a ring pull makes cans a preferable option for crowds. Having a bottle opener handy means that is no longer an issue.

A wall-mounted bottle opener is the perfect accessory for your outdoor bar. Simply mount the opener directly on the bar itself if it is a timber piece or nearby on a wall or post if your bar is metal or an awkward shape.

  We have a small teak bar set with an umbrella behind the garage. It's a handy place to take a break while working in the garage. The cats hang out there too. I would love to have the bar and sink in the garage. Lots of great outdoor bar ideas here!
