First came home gyms. Then it was movie theaters. Today, the trend has evolved to houses with watering holes. Your average wine cellars, these aren’t: We mean properties with sophisticated lounges for brandy, replicas of English pubs, and salvaged bars from the Prohibition era.

“People are increasingly taking the settings they enjoy outside of their homes to their homes, and these unique areas to have a drink are a reflection of that,” says Kevin Sneddon, an agent with Compass who is selling a Greenwich, Connecticut estate, with the aforementioned pub.

Below, a roundup of properties for sale that feature stylish places to imbibe. Let’s all make a toast to that.

Give us a pint, please!
