We live near the beach, and one of our favorite things to do is to meet friends at the fire pits on the beach where a great time is had by all. Everyone brings food to share and whatever they like to drink. Many will bring beer and wine, but my husband is well known for his wicked (and delicious) Manhattan cocktail. The fact that this is a little harder to transport to the beach did not deter my husband, who decided he needed to find an awesome travel bar set that he could use for making his cocktails while on the go. Take a look below to see which sets we considered, and what set we eventually decided on.
Some of you are looking for a kit for your personal use, and others of you are looking for a kit because you’re a professional bartender! Either way, you’ll see something below that will work for you. We tried to come up with a wide variety of sets, both in terms of price and features. The most important consideration for us is always quality, and we believe every option below is high quality.
We have used our traveling bar often, and we love when the weekend rolls around and it’s time to pack it up with everything we need to make a great Manhattan. Let us know how you end up using yours!

Travel Bartender Kit in Bag
This set comes in a sturdy and attractive bag with both an adjustable shoulder strap and a handle for carrying. It is filled inside with pockets and removable or adjustable inserts, and there is a pocket on the back exterior of the bag as well. The kit contains 11 pieces of stainless steel barware, and the quality is excellent (they do not feel cheap in any way).
The bag itself is 13.8"H x 12.5"W x 4.7"D, and water resistant. It's solid enough to easily transport multiple breakable bottles inside. Because the inside configuration was exactly what we needed to put in our Manhattan ingredients, and we were so impressed with the quality of the bar tools, this is the portable bar kit we chose.
