Where to get mini bar glassware?

I recently built a minibar and now I need to stock it with glassware. I'd like to have 3 glass bottles on top on a tray: scotch, gin, and vermouth; as well as, a glass bowl of olives. Where can I get them? I know Walmart probably carries stuff like that but although I'd like to stick to something inexpensive, I want something that looks good. Any suggestions?

Do you mean decanters; or like rocks glasses, highballs, et cetera?

Crate and Barrel is a good option for decent looking, cheap glassware.

Pier One has stuff that's not too pricey.

Good Heavens, man -- "decanter" is hardly a new word.

If you were looking to spend $$ I'd assume you would know where to go. Crate and Barrel isn't cheap, there's no shame in checking out local discounters (such as Marshals of Filene's Basement) or thrift stores before going to places like Wal Mart/Target

Yes the word is decanter. Most larger department stores will carry several crystal options brands like lenox, sasaki and waterford. Nicer bed bath and beyonds actually have a decent china department that have pieces from $30 up over $100. Online options are endless. We recently bought a set of Kate Spade highballs and two decanters. Her decanters are about $100 which is about normal for a basic crystal decanter.

While I agree crate and barrel can be pricey on some (ok most) things, for glassware they are fairly middle of the road and reasonable. Their Decanters run about $35-50 which is about as cheap as it gets unless you pound the pavement.

CB2 is a cheaper options for glassware in the same aesthetic although I have no idea if they have decanters

If you're going to spend $100 dollars or so, I am partial to Lalique crystal, I know you can pick up Lalique at a reasonable price from eBay (be wary of knock offs of course).

I never checked them out too much as I am pretty cheap by nature, except to buy holiday splurges when I found them a bit cheaper then Williams Sonoma. You're probably right about their glassware though now that I think about it, I do think their dinning ware was pretty affordable (compared to the Villeroy and Boch I collect...) but if I remember correctly it struck me as similar fashion to that of comparable items from Ikea

Neither grammar nor spelling, apparently.

Indeed. Though I probably mean it differently.
