I agree with Kelly on this one . 
Here is what the Webster has to say about it : 

Main Entry: wet bar
Function: noun
Date: 1967
: a bar for mixing drinks (as in a home) that contains a sink with running water 

I looked it up in Termium and here is what it says:

Heard of it and tried it :) It's a lot of fun  in a resort especially if you are 
sipping a nice 
cold drink :) And I remember that it was referred to as "the pool bar, but perhaps it 
has 
another name specific to it.
