We normally have a small bar set up with punch and some spirit mixers. Last year we had the spirits in apocothary type bottles with labels with different names that corresponded to shot/drink recipes I had put in a menu type thing.
This year, not using our apocothary bottles and would love some ideas on how others display their liquor bottles and barware.
Plus I'm nosey and love looking at everyones displays!

Those are awesome displays, rosella! Last year was our first party. It was BYOB so I didn't have a whole lot to set up. The first pic is a spiked witch's brew that I made (in the cauldron) along with some bottles of soda. The second pic is the station for caramel apple shots. I didn't put as much thought into mine as you did, but here it is.

We decided against a full liquor bar last year since things got pretty our of hand the party before that and stuck with wine and beer this last time which we put in the coffin cooler and had toe tags that we pre-printed creative deaths on. All you had to do was write your name on it and hang it on your bottle or glass. People had fun asking each other how they died.
As I was going up the stair, I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. I wish, I wish he'd go away.

Here is a link to an album that has a few pics of our bar from last year. The pics aren't that great and it's before we stocked them, but the bar got a lot of comments at the party.

2207 Harry Potter theme, 'verita serum' (aka Patron shots) in glowing shot glasses, had punch on the food table as well, and beer in a cooler on the back porch. This was 'Potions Class' (lit and unlit versions)


2010 My version of the much more stylish coffin cooler that Witchful Thinking made. Unfortunately no pics of it actually in action, but we lined with plastic, filled with ice and glow sticks (that was a nice touch, looked awesome) and then filled with beer, soda, etc. We even put the punch bowl in it, buried in the ice up to the rim. Cups, napkins and opener at the foot of the coffin on a table. It was the best "bar" we've ever had, everybody loved it. We plan on using it again. Maybe this year I'll remember to take a pic
Oh, and I covered the saw horses with black fabric, looked much better.

Love your bar setup MHooch! Your coffin bar is fantastic - much more gothic and fitting than mine for sure! I can't wait to see pictures of it in action this year
