Custom Wet Bar and Dry Bar Cabinets in Calgary
A custom bar cabinet transforms any space into an entertainment centrepiece. Whether you are designing a wet bar with a sink and plumbing or a dry bar for wine and spirits storage, Modersy Interior builds custom bar cabinets for Calgary homes that combine style, functionality, and premium craftsmanship.
Wet Bar vs. Dry Bar — What is the Difference?
Wet Bar
A wet bar includes a sink with plumbing — allowing you to rinse glasses, make cocktails, and entertain without leaving the room. Wet bars require waterproof cabinet construction and coordination with your plumber for rough-in. Modersy works with your contractor to sequence the millwork correctly.
Dry Bar
A dry bar has no plumbing — focused on wine storage, spirits display, glassware organization, and counter space for mixing drinks. Easier to install and more flexible in placement. Popular in Calgary dining rooms, basements, and home theatres.
