I my mind, a dishwasher in a wet bar is for "basement" dishes... That means glasses and barware, but since we have kids, it's also dishes for, say, popcorn for the theatre room, etc... Like I said, for us, a practical wet bar actually means a mini kitchen, but I can see how others might see it as impractical or overkill.
To be clear, my current basement wet bar has a sink, a bar fridge and a wine cooler, but does not have a dishwasher or freezer / ice maker... It's not having those things that's made me realize how useful they'd be for us and they're definitely on the to-do list for the next place...
