Standing under this pergola bar with a rope rail, you can see how the open rafters stretch out from the cabana over a concrete pad. A wood bar counter sits along one side, ready for drinks and snacks.

Thick rope hangs from post to post, giving the bar a playful, nautical feel. The posts and beams are big and solid, and the rafter ends are shaped for a finished look.

Past the bar, a garden with large boulders and young trees slopes down toward the neighbouring homes. It’s a lovely view to enjoy from the counter on a warm evening.

Covered bars like this let you stay outside even when the sun is strong, and the rafters can always be dressed with a climbing vine for more shade.

From the same job, see the cabana on the lawn or the rope rail up close. This photo also appears as Outdoor Bars #2.
