# Portable Parties The Suitcase-Sized Evolution Mobile Bar By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2008-09-21 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evolution-mobile-bar References: [bornrich.org](http://www.bornrich.org/entry/cant-leave-the-bar-carry-it-with-you/) & [kegworks](http://www.kegworks.com/product.php?productid=172789&cat=724) Most mobile bars leave bartenders wanting more; they’re too awkward to be truly portable and often don’t have the right type of storage. The [Evolution Mobile Bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-soda-flavors), however, will please any connoisseur, especially one who knows what he’s doing behind the bar. The Evolution Mobile Bar takes five minutes or less to assemble from its suitcase-sized flat-packed state into a compact but mighty minibar. It’s made of lightweight aluminum and features a speed rail, glass rack and built-in garnish containers. You can fit ten average 750-ml liquor bottles on the speed rail, plus six 1-liter store-and-pour jugs. The glass rack holds 24 pieces of stemware--more than enough for a few rounds. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Portable Bars:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing mobile bars that are truly portable and have efficient storage options. - **Flat-pack Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating innovative and portable furniture solutions that can be easily assembled and disassembled. - **Lightweight Materials:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing lightweight materials that can be used to create versatile and portable products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Hospitality:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Revamping the mobile bar industry by providing bartenders with more convenient and efficient tools. - **Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring the market for portable and space-saving furniture options, targeting urban living and small spaces. - **Materials Engineering:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Advancing material sciences to create stronger and lighter materials for various industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [American-Style Commercial Bar Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/commercial-bar-design.md) - [Rechargeable Cocktail Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cordless-cocktail-maker.md) - [Automated Mixologist Cocktail Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-maker.md) - [Smart Mixology Speakeasies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barsys-speakeasy.md) - [Cordless Cocktail Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bev-by-black-decker.md) - [Home Mixology Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/complete-bar-set.md) - [Portable Cocktail Packets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-cocktail-packets.md) - [Travel-Ready Mini Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-rule-destination-cocktails.md) - [Luxurious 10-Piece Mixology Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixology-bartender-kit.md)
