What does this sign say?

It reads “If You're Looking for a Sign to Drink Tonight”, carved into the wood and hand-stained. The wording is fixed — this design is not personalised, so what you see is what arrives.

Does it suit a basement bar or man cave?

That is where most of these end up. A basement bar is usually wood and warm light already, and a carved sign sits into that rather than on top of it the way printed metal does.

Where should it hang in a bar?

Above the bar or on the wall the stools face, rather than behind the bottles — a sign behind glass disappears. The door into the room is the other spot that works.

What finishes can I choose from?

Twenty. Stains run from Early American and Dark Walnut through Briarsmoke, Weathered Gray and Aged Barrel, and there are solid paints in White, Black and Gray. Every one is hand-applied, so the grain still reads through the stains.

Are the letters carved or printed?

Carved. Every letter is cut into the wood on a CNC and the piece is then hand-stained. There is no vinyl and no printing, so nothing on the surface can peel, chip or fade off — run a thumb across it and you can feel the letters.

Backyard Bar Sign | A Sign to Drink Tonight, Carved

The Backyard Bar Sign That Settles the Question

Somebody at your next cookout will announce they're looking for a sign. Hang this backyard bar sign and the search ends on the spot: If You're Looking for a Sign to Drink Tonight — This Is It, carved into solid wood in our Kentucky workshop. It's the rare piece of patio decor that answers the question before anybody finishes asking it.

Carved to Survive Cookout Season

Printed patio signs fade to a whisper after one summer, and vinyl peels the minute the humidity gets opinionated. This one is CNC-carved into solid Kentucky pine or poplar — the message is cut into the wood, not sitting on top of it — so the punchline holds through cookout season after cookout season. Give it a covered spot and it will out-serve every plastic cup you own.

Pair it with our other bar and patio carved signs and make the backyard official. Ships free in the U.S.

If the bar pours more than beer, Wine Bar Sign covers the rest.
