An ice tub (34) fits through a large opening in the top (20) of a cabinet, down into an interior space within the cabinet, and is supported at its bottom on the floor of such space. At its top, the ice tub (34) is flush with the top of the cabinet. A pair of panels (26, 28) are hinge connected (at 70) to the cabinet for movement between outwardly projecting counter-forming positions (FIG. 2) and closed positions (FIG. 1) in which they overlay the top (20) of the cabinet. A plurality of minor openings (22, 24) are formed in the top of the cabinet along one side and both ends of the tub. The side located openings (22) receive small containers (46) for condiments. The end located openings (24) receive containers (42) for alcohol beverage bottles (44). Containers (42) rest on top portions (38) of a pair of box beams (36) which extends laterally of the cabinet, at the ends of the cabinet, to provide structural stiffness for the side (12, 14) and endwalls (16, 18) of the cabinet, to compensate for the loss in structural strength in the top (20) caused by formation of the openings. The condiment and alcohol beverage bottle holding containers (46, 42), a mixer container (54) which is detachably mountable onto the sidewall of the cabinet facing the bartender (FIG. 2), and a cash drawer, are located inside of the ice tub and within an inner space of the cabinet bordering the ice tub, when the cabinet is folded for storage.

A portable bar-cabinet comprising: a top, bottom, two sidewalls and two endwalls, together defining a cabinet having an inner space; said top including a major opening for receiving a removable ice tub having an upper boundary which is substantially flush with the upper surface of the top when the tub is in said major opening; said top also including a plurality of minor openings offset outwardly from the tub opening for receiving removable holders; said cabinets inner space including a tub receiving space below the major opening and a storage space outwardly adjacent the tub receiving space; a pair of counter panels; hinge means connecting the counter panels to the cabinet substantially where the endwalls intersect the top, for swinging movement between a folded position in which the counter panels extend over the cabinet top and a counter forming, in use position in which the counter panels project laterally outwardly like wings from opposite sides of the cabinet top; support means for supporting said counter panels in their counter forming positions; handle means carried by one of the sidwalls of the cabinet, enabling the cabinet to be picked up and carried like a suitcase when the counter panels are in their folded positions; and means forming a pair of stiffener beams which extend laterally across the bar-cabinet where the endwalls of the cabinet intersect the bottom of the cabinet, said stiffener beams providing stiffness to both the endwalls and the sidewalls, and also presenting an upper support surface on which at least some of the removable containers rest, so that the weight of such containers and their contents are not carried by the top.
