cocktail tables

Bar lounge furniture

Cocktail tables are the small, low tables placed in front of sofas or seating areas—what most Americans call coffee tables.

The term cocktail table is favored in furniture retail and interior design contexts, suggesting a slightly more formal or upscale register: The designer specified a glass cocktail table for the living room.

In event contexts, cocktail tables are the tall, narrow standing tables used at receptions and parties.
