The "Friendmaker" Portable Bar - Golden Wheat
Low stock
Back in the early days of the West, making friends was a matter of life and death. You never knew when you might need a helping hand, or saddle to get you to the next town. That's why the best out west always had a Friendmaker bar on hand.
The Friendmaker is a portable bar that holds 4 bottles of your favorite bourbons, spirits, wine or saspirilla. It also has spaces for glasses, mixers, openers and all the accouterment needed to throw a party. It's small enough to fit in your stagecoach, but big enough to keep you and your friends well-stocked for a long ride.
In those days, if you brought out a Friendmaker, people knew you were someone to be reckoned with. You were usually a legend, and a person who was always willing to share a drink and a good time. And OUT WST, that was a reputation worth having.

This is by design, and is what makes each one special. They are built for the ruggedness of the west and have the character to prove it.**
"OUT WST has designed the perfect 19th hole"
I brought my Friendmaker and Smokestack on my annual golf trip with friends from college and it seriously made the entire trip better. We brought them everywhere, and busted them out during all of our post golf activities - Bourbon, cigars and great stories of epic drives and missed putts.
"We use it every weekend!"
We love hosting our neighbors in our backyard. The Friendmaker is such a perfect way to share a specialty cocktail, our favorite bourbons, or winemaker with our closest friends. It creates such a fun experience and we constantly get requests to bring it to other houses when they throw parties as well!
Common questions about the OUT WST Friendmaker portable bar
How many bottles does it hold?
The Friendmaker holds four 750ml bottles. There is also room for a potential 5th bottle or humidor if you compromise how many glasses you're carrying in the unit. In general though, we recommend four to ensure that everyone has a glass.
Is it sturdy/durable?
To quote my late grandfather - "That thing is built like a brick shit house". Friendmakers are extremely durable. Made from solid reclaimed elm, using exceptional joinery and woodworking techniques. Our goal is to build products that can take a beating as they are meant to be used wherever you adventure. Would it survive a 10 foot drop on concrete? Theres a good chance, but you'd loose a lot of glassware and whiskey in the process. We build Friendmakers so your grandkids will fight over them when you die.
Are they waterproof/weatherproof?
Friendmakers are made of solid elm and withstand the elements well. As wood is a natural material, it can warp, swell, crack or discolor if exposed to large temperature variations or moisture for extended periods of time. If your Friendmaker gets wet - dry it off quickly. We don't recommend leaving it outside overnight uncovered.
Common questions about the OUT WST Smokestack Humidor:
How many cigars will fit in the Smokestack?
Depending on diameter, the Smokestack humidor can fit 8-10 full size cigars. Perfect for a weekend away with friends.
How does the Smokestack stay humid?
The smokestack contains a built in humidity puck which can be recharged hundreds of times and helps your sticks stay at a constant 65-72 RH. No need to waste money on humidity packs!
What material is used to create the Smokestack?
Our humidors are made on a 5 axis CNC out of aluminum. They also contain a cedar wood lining.
