Fed up of seeing Bars in people's gardens?

[Mybumlooksbig]

Anyone else think they are as tacky as hell 🤢

YABU- let people do what they want in their gardens
YANBU- I agree, chavvy AF

@Ori1 the worrying thing is I didn't even feel that surprised!

It's called an entertainment area in other countries (well mine anyway).

This is the first time I've heard of an entertainment area being called a 'bar in the garden' 😀

They aren't that unusual and neither are they tacky. They aren't the 'in thing' either as most of our houses have them and have done for years.

I saw Boris in the title too
His probably got his head held high in a pub garden as we speak. I bet he'll get a tiki bar in his new place

Oh well its their garden, their business.

Anytime :)

That's not a gazebo, that's a bloody marquee!

Perfect for this weather.

I wouldn't have one cos we wouldn't use it, but I'm also not really arsed about other people having them either. I'd be miffed if someone wanted to put one in my garden, but if they're putting them in their own garden and not affecting me in the slightest it's quite unreasonable to be fussed I think.

Yeah it's a bit big . Took 250kg off post mix in pots stop the damn thing flying away. The whole thing looks much better this year, these photos were taken last year when it was still part building site. I was told I was stupid for waiting a big sand pit but my nephews and grandsons love it.... and most adults have to have a go on the digger the first time they see it 😂

I’m quite posh but have a hot tub. I read quietly in mine. Not sure how that fits in.

when we were younger someone dad had built in himself from scrap wood. that's cool. buy your own pre cut 'tiki bar' isn't cool anymore. it was like 20 years ago. maybe even 10

I like the idea of this! Or maybe tea shop? I don’t drink but we have a bar. Our garden is big and very steep, so once you go ‘up the top,’ you’re far enough from the house for it to be a PITA to go back down. I had the bar built as a surprise for my husbands 30th, mainly so he can have cold drinks when we are up the garden, my dad and brother built it in one weekend from scratch miraculously and an electrician friend did the electrics for free. We have had many afternoon teas up there with our little girls 😄

We use it as a base for hosting barbecues or summer dinner parties etc (have a pizza oven and fire pit too for extra tackiness).

We also have a summerhouse where I can retreat to paint or read, then have decking for every day dining and a veggie plot, rewilded section for the bees, play area with slide, sandpit, climbing wall etc, and washing line, in the ‘lower sections’ of the garden.

We are not party animals by any stretch. I had no idea it was tacky when I had it built a few years ago! But I do love ours 😄

Oops sorry I missed off the quote - a previous poster said it could be a coffee bar!

I haven't read the thread but came on to say I read it as Boris! I'm glad it's not just me

(Horrible vision of tousled blond mop appearing randomly out of a hedge, blustering inanely)

Yes I'm fed up with seeing them too.
I no longer carry a small pair of steps in order to peer over people's fences and I have also taken the battery out of my drone so I can't inadvertly catch sight of one whilst having a 'sticky beak' into people's gardens. 👀

YANBU

steye classeye

Can you imagine Boris Johnson's tiki bar?
The Boris arms , sponsored by others with expensive paint and wallpaper
Pictures of himself everywhere on a notice board. Union jacks draped around the outside
Maybe a bit too tacky for Carrie though

Nosey and classist…..I’d look for a hobby rather than being mad about something that isn’t impacting you

YABU, you sound like fun, what gives you the right to judge what people have in their garden.

🤣🤣👏

I think an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue, sink, pizza oven, fridge is the posh version.

I have v fun and wild parties without a bar

Of course you do Op, I bet you're a hoot at parties.

This thread should be bookmarked for foreign posters who want to understand class in Britain. It's got it all.

@SpiritRidingFree is that the outdoor kitchen unit from Ikea?

I don't get it though.

Being a snob implies you think you're better than people because of, normally, your financial status, social circle or "class".

How can you simultaneously be a snob yet also associate with multiple people who have garden bars.

Something doesn't add up... You must just be jel.
