Genius: how to turn your jacuzzi into a full-blown pool bar

Having a jacuzzi in your garden is definitely a case of #lifegoals. Think: bubbles, wine, relaxation, and the feeling that you could get an invitation from MTV Cribs at any moment. But believe us: it can get even better. With this genius upgrade, you can turn your hot tub into a real pool bar jacuzzi. Complete with bar stools, a roof and a little staircase. BRILLIANT.

From hot tub to cocktail paradise

Look, a jacuzzi is great, but if you have to get out halfway through your mint and raspberry mojito, dry off, stagger inside and open your fridge with a wet towel, it’s just a hassle. And hassle doesn’t belong with bubbles. The solution? A pool bar that is literally built around your jacuzzi. That means: never leave the tub.

So relaxing! Never leave the tub

A pool bar with all the trimmings

This pool bar isn’t some half-baked gadget, but a fully loaded outdoor bar with a semi-tropical theme. Whether you want to enjoy your drink in the pool or would rather dry off for a moment while sitting on a stool at the little bar, it’s all possible, of course. And if you’ve had a little too much to drink, it’s also incredibly easy to avoid hurting yourself, because it comes with a little staircase to help you safely get in and out of your jacuzzi.

Rain? No problem. Cold? Who cares

As soon as you’re sitting under that roof, with your feet in warm water, one hand holding a cocktail and your friends around you, it soon feels as though you’re in Bali. And if it really does get too cold: just put on a bathrobe and roast marshmallows by the fire. Because yes, this set-up is of course perfect next to a fire pit or barbecue. Living. The. Dream.

I want this. Now. Only… I don’t have a garden

Even if, like me, you currently only have a tiny balcony with room for three potted plants and a folding chair, this pool bar jacuzzi will go straight onto your wish list. Because one day, that Big People House will come. With a garden. And a jacuzzi. And a bar. And friends who suddenly all want to hang out at your place.

And the best part? You don’t have to do any DIY, sawing or searching YouTube for “how do I build a bar around my jacuzzi?”. These units are completely assembled and delivered for you. Simply: click and done, plug & play, cheers.

Here’s where you can buy it

There are several suppliers offering these gems, but tastes differ. Are you going for sleek black aluminium? Or a tiki version complete with a palm-leaf roof and wicker bar stools? The choice is yours. I have my eye on this Fraser Gazebo from Canadian Spa Co. What a beauty!
