Building a home bar...

We are just about finished building our new house. Like every closet barfly, I would like to build a nice bar in our basement. Not the typical 3-4 stool bar, but a real bar with a very clubby, antique-y feeling to it. I googled "home bar plans" but got a lot of cheesy responses. Anyone have any good websites to look at for ideas, supplies, and such?

Thanks!

The words custom and expensive come to mind. Do you have a woodshop, not tools, a shop and the skills? :biggrin: It's worse than kitchen cabinets.

You could check out some of the architectural salvage places for a vintage bar or even some moldings or details that will give you the look you want. Demolition Depot has a few bars on their website. Olde Good Things is another large NY dealer.

That's a great idea for an old bar. :biggrin::biggrin:
