Car bar review.

Absolutely brilliant. Love it. Easy to set up. It comes with a brilliant carry bag

Carbar

Excellent quality piece of equipment, really well made. I use it when tent box camping and it helps keep my footprint small and everything off the ground. I broke a plastic widget due to my own clumsiness,made contact and 2 new ones were sent free of charge. Simply excellent customer service. You may think this is expensive but when you see the quality and manufacturing detail you'll be glad you got one. I can recommend their t shirts too. Terry

Clever, stylish, functional

I tested the Car Bar on my Jeep Cherokee XJ and I’m really satisfied. It looks nice, stays clean even if the ground is wet and dirty and is fully functional.
Richard was so nice to send it to my hotel while I was traveling in the UK. Thanks!

Tailgate must have!

Waited patiently for Rich to figure out shipping to the US so I couldn't wait to get my Car Bar. Totally worth the wait! Sleek, sturdy, stows away easily and sets up quick so you can easily create a tailgate event before and after, mtn. biking, skiing, concerts, hiking/camping, quick boat down the river. . . Great for bevs, snacks, tunes :)

Thanks Rich, looking forward to many years of adventures with this must have car item.

Gucci bit of kit, does exactly as it should and as you’d expect

Easy set up, once you do it correctly and ensure the foot of it is seated correctly it’s plenty sturdy enough. Second time used is 100 times easier to put into place. Great for a coffee break on the rav4 m. High quality materials and machined components. I see absolutely no reason this won’t last a lifetime

Can I use a stove on it?

The camping table with a difference

The Car Bar was born from being frustrated at the size and faff of typical camping gear. We wanted something that was small enough to leave in the car at all times for those impromptu trips, but practical enough to use for camping. It also needed to be so quick and easy to set up that we’d never put off using it.

How it began

The lightbulb went off when we realised we could use the boot to sit on, removing the need for annoying camping chairs. This meant for those quick trips we always had a table and chairs ready to go! We got to work prototyping and eventually had something we were using regularly.

"Where did you get that?"

We started getting people asking where we got it from when we were using it. Then after posting in a Facebook group the response was amazing with people asking to buy one. Suddenly we had the beginnings of a small business!

The latest version

Since then, we have sold tables all over the world and moved the business from a spare bedroom to a couple of shipping containers.

We still make, assemble, pack and ship all Car Bars from here in the UK.
