So many exciting events are coming up…New Year’s Eve and the Super Bowl are two in particular that rank high on our family’s “Best Excuses for Hosting a Get Together” list.\u00a0 Frankly, the best part about get togethers, aside from the wonderful company, are all the yummy eats and lip-smacking drinks.<\/p>\n

Whether or not you like to\u00a0spike the eggnog at your party, you’ll want to have plenty of beverages on hand for thirsty guests.\u00a0\u00a0 At our house, there’s no room for a stocked bar, so we keep our\u00a0GoBar Portable High Top Bar<\/a> tucked away until we need it for special occasions when drinks will flow continuously.\u00a0 Once we set up the bar in\u00a0a convenient spot near the food table, we stock it with whatever we’ll need for the evening\u00a0ahead. \u00a0Beer, wine, soda, juices, blender, ice buckets, and glasses can all be kept on the bar and on the sturdy\u00a0storage shelf, which remains hidden behind\u00a0one of three\u00a0festive\u00a0skirts.<\/p>\n

What are festive skirts, you may ask?\u00a0 This is one of our favorite features of our portable GoBar.\u00a0 Depending on the theme for the party, we dress our GoBar in one of the three skirts that\u00a0are included with the bar.\u00a0 For the New Year’s party, we choose the formal skirt, the Super Bowl party features the football field skirt (of course), and our summer beach party requires the tiki-themed skirt.\u00a0 They add an extra touch of fun and flair to each of our parties.<\/p>\n

Now that our friends have experienced the GoBar, they ask us to bring it with us to their parties.\u00a0 Because it is lightweight and portable, it’s never a problem.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0We’re not planning to stay up until midnight this New Year’s Eve, nor do we care which teams finally make it to the Super Bowl — what we love about these events is spending them with family and friends and having a memorable time.<\/p>\n
