When Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione get together, what would be more appropriate than reminiscing over a Butterbeer? Like the good old days at the Tree Broomsticks, nothing would feel more at home than sitting around on wood bar stools and talking for hours. In the magical world, fashion is just as important as in this muggle one. Being one of the most influential wizards of all times comes with some perks after all.

Everyone deserves a place to unwind after a hard day, or a hard life, as it were. After seven years of confronting Lord Voldemort, Harry and the gang deserve some comfort and style. Harry Potter has been The Boy Who Lived and The Chosen One, the most beloved and hated, and can finally find peace through friends in the most comfortable and inviting of contemporary bar stools. While The Hogs Head holds memories of conspiring against evil, it lacks a certain homey quality.

As Harry and Ginny prepare for guests, one of the proudest places in the home would be the fully stocked bar. Along with Fire Whisky, friends could sit back on cozy swivel barstools and get lost in conversation. Similar to the Gryffindor common room, they would be drawn to plush seats of crimson and gold design with full back and arm rests. With temptation like that, it would feel like a Hogwarts reunion every night!

Comfy, cozy, crimson and gold, Harry Potter would have the best of all worlds.

Swivel bar stools have become increasingly popular over the recent years for a reason. One of the greatest things about getting to go to McDonalds as a kid is sitting back in a swivel seat and twirling while enjoying a happy meal. As you grow up, the novelty never fully goes away, even if your taste for chicken nuggets does. Aside from being at least a little fun, the swivel abilities make it much easier to get in and out of the stool, save space and prevent floors from being scratched with repetitive heavy scraping.
Almost all modern barstools have a swivel seat and style enough to stay for many years. The Owen Swivel Bar Stool is a perfectly stylish and functional example of what a barstool should be. In a basic geometric design and simplicity, there is a hint of a flair found in many modern barstools without being difficult to coordinate. The rectangular slatback backrest and outward sloping legs create a beautiful shape. An extra-wide square seat adds to comfort and allows for all shapes and sizes to relax, even for long periods. Available in a number of metal finishes and seat fabric choices, you can personalize it to match your space and fashion.
Metal is a trade mark symbol of contemporary bar stools and has the additional benefit of highly durable and easy to clean. Whether looking for a counter, regular or tall bar stool, you can be accommodated without having to compromise. The Owen Swivel Bar Stool and other contemporary bar stools are made by Amisco Furniture.

Connecticut has the history of America built into it. So when experiencing the American craft of beer making, try The Tap Room located in the historic Griswold Inn. Tourists and locals alike settle next to each other on beautifully shined swivel bar stools. The main building dates back to 1776 and takes the claim to fame as one of the oldest bars in the United States. The Tap Room itself was the first school in Essex before being moved through Main Street by oxen in 1801.
As you sit back in one of the historical pub stools, surrounded by historically relevant and charming things you begin to feel as if you have stepped back in time. A pot-bellied stove from an old opera house dominates the room with a roaring fire for a majority of the year. The antique popcorn machine is still heavily used today and popcorn is available at the bar. Marine art other memorabilia line the thick wooden beamed walls, the most ironical being original prints from the Temperance movement against alcohol.
If you are looking to experience old New England, you can find a place no better. The authentic New England food and a variety of wines or beers on tap make The Tap one of the most well bars in the nation. There is also live entertainment every day of the year, with the exception of Christmas Eve and Christmas. What could be better than escaping the bitter cold, sitting on one of the wood bar stools by the warm fire accompanied by good drink and great music?
To experience history and have an unforgettable experience, plan to check out this charming bar if you are ever near Essex, Connecticut.
