No matter the occasion – whether serving coffee, tea, water or cocktails – having the appropriate glassware can transform a tablescape. We have researched durable glass and plastic options suitable for outdoor patio or poolside entertaining.

These glasses feature elegant etching and curvy lines for an upscale appearance, stack perfectly and feel comfortable in the hand.

Acrylic Glasses

Glass drinkware’s visual appeal brings an air of sophistication to formal events and refined settings, while acrylic offers similar aesthetics but is more durable and shatterproof, making it suitable for casual backyard gatherings or semiformal affairs.

Shop for crystal-clear acrylic glasses that boast polished looks and feel in the hand, from tumblers and rocks glasses to margarita glasses and double old-fashioned styles. A selection of drinking glasses that show off wine’s colors and complexity is key; look for pieces clear enough to show this off. Using storage practices such as using liners between glasses to prevent scratches will also protect its clarity; additionally acrylic is a much greener alternative as it doesn’t contain or release BPA (bisphenol A).

Beverage Dispensers

Drink dispensers make entertaining guests easier whether it be at a pool party, backyard BBQ or chic cocktail event. With spigots and stands equipped with the ability to serve water, mocktails, cocktails or fruit punch. Choose dispensers with infusers to add fresh fruity flavors or go for simple glass bottles to keep beverages chilled for hours on end.

Outdoor beverage dispensers with built-in blenders allow you to serve margaritas and other mixed drinks directly on the patio, while for events serving alcohol make sure you have tumblers and rocks glasses made from break-resistant materials such as acrylic or stainless steel for more formal events. Pottery Barn also carries an extensive collection of glassware made of acrylic, melamine or other durable materials for your next gathering!

Party Buckets

if your outdoor gathering will feature several guests, add beverage buckets to your glassware collection. These pieces can serve anything from water and tea, fruit-infused drinks such as lemonade and punch to decorative elevated party buckets that add an extra splash of style.
