What is the difference between a wet bar and a mini-bar?


I need to know for my honeymoon. There's a hotel room with a wet bar, and in the item description it says mini-bar. Is there a difference?

a wet bar is a complete bar with sink.. a mini bar is a small fridge with small drinks and snacks..

Well, generally a wet bar has a sink and running water while a mini-bar does not.

a wet bar has soda and beer spouts, and the fixin's for the drinks. a mini bar is just as stated mini, just the basics, no fountian, no fixin's[olives, cherries,lemon,etc]

A wet bar is one with a sink, the mini bar is a lockable cabinet with the booze in it. Take it from experience, avoid the mini bar, it's waaaaaaaaaaaay over priced. Buy your favorite mixings and bring it with you or go to the hotel bar. You'll thank your wallet later.

Technically a wet bar has a small sink and counter top area, a Mini bar is usually just a dorm fridge with drinks and drink supplies, some will have glasses also, the mini bottles of alcohol can run upwards of 5$ and even up to 10$. (the bottles of water can even be 6$ each) the mini bar bill can easily be more than the room cost, so avoid everythign over there, unless you have confirmation that it is free to use.

best bet, bring your own drinks and maybe a couple glasses if they dont have free ones for you to use.

a side note: Just because they say there is a Wet bar or Mini bar does not mean it is stocked with alcohol, check before check in.
