2 min readIf you’re the unofficial host in your friend group, chances are everyone’s waiting for that summer invite to your next outdoor hang. Since you have a reputation to uphold as the “fun” one, your backyard space should reflect this. Maybe it’s investing in more pool floats so everyone has one to cling onto, or another set of lounge chaises by the pool so the swimmers can dry off in between dips. If you want to truly blow the setup out of the water, we recommend installing Costco's Yardistry's Cantina gazebo, which is conveniently $500 off right now, just in time for summer. When your guests are thirsty or ready to grab a bite to eat, instead of heading inside (while dripping wet!), they can just pop by this bar-meets-outdoor movie theater.
Made with 100 percent FSC-certified wood, this setup features front and rear cupboards for storing cocktail shakers, snacks, and bottles of your favorite booze. It also comes with two stools, so your guests can sit at the cantina's counter while you're working behind the bar. And if you're craving drinks and a show, this structure is actually designed to mount a television, making it the perfect place to watch a big game or (if you're like us) your latest streaming obsession.
Yardistry's Cantina gazebo has an open-air vibe to it, so you can enjoy the sunshine and feel the wind in your hair as you sip your bright pink Cosmopolitan. That's exactly why we've dubbed this cool option the "Cosmo Cantina." However, if you want a little bit of privacy, the metal truss privacy screen will keep nosy neighbors at bay. And, at seven feet by eight feet, this gazebo will offer plenty of room without overwhelming your outdoor space.
At $2,300, Yardistry's Cantina Gazebo is certainly an investment. However, since it's basically an outdoor bar and movie theater rolled into one, we have a feeling the cost-per-use will go way, way down. While Costco's cool cantina is an excellent choice, it's not the only way to bring the party to your backyard. Below, we're sharing a few alternatives to match your style, budget, and entertaining needs.
