My home bar build

Hello. My name is Matt, and I built a bar in my back yard. I have gotten some pretty nice compliments from people in the past, so i figured I would post it up in here and see what you all think. Feel free to ask me any questions and steal ideas. I love this forum and already have 3 little projects I want to build. Here’s a little background story. I moved into my house back in July of 2005, and one thing that appealed to me was this 12’x24’ air-conditioned, powered, shed, completed with fans and a roll up door. There was a work out station in it, but I got rid of that, and decided to add on 6 feet to make it 18’x24’. I brought over more power, bigger AC unit (15k BTU heat pump), raised the ceiling, complete with Pine T&G and open beams. I put in wood flooring, pool table, bottle shelf that crowns the room, stereo cabinet, 32" TV, and bar. The bar has a foot print of 11’x8’ including the back bar. I have a 15cuft keezer and currently 4 taps in a faucet house. I have a sink with hot water, an under-cabinet fridge and freezer, 20lb CO2 tank and 10lb beer gas tank. I recently added more bar stools for a total of 9, and a fold down table.

Here are some pics of the build up:

Cheers!

Very nice!  Instead of going out to the bar, bring the bar home.

Yep, I see a stool with my name on it.

Holy crap!  :o

Sent from the future…

Pool table, beer, air conditioning…that is a pretty great trio! Great build!!!

Get yourself some hops climbin up that thing!

Very, very, very cool. I have a pub room in my basement that I’m pretty proud of but you have me beat by a longshot!

Inspiring! Well done.

Wow, that is awesome!

awesome job, nice work!

What?  No dart board? :stuck_out_tongue:

Thank you everyone!

I have tried growing hops twice now, but they really don’t like the 110 deg, dry summers here in Phoenix, Arizona. I’m not giving up though!

I wish I had room in there for the dart board. For now, it hangs on my back porch. I don’t care for holes so much back there.

When is happy hour!!!

4 taps is perfect!    Build it and they will come.  Nice build.

Love it!  A lot of work, but hopefully many years of enjoyment for you. A job very well done. Thanks for posting. :slight_smile:

so awesome.

Whoa, just saw this thread for the first time…unbelievable!  And very tasteful.  Looks like the kind of actual bar I’d like to hang in.

Inspirational!

That was a lot of work too…

Yeah, I can’t believe I didn’t see this before.  Very nice build, love the mood of the room, it has a dark and Old West atmosphere.
