Home wet bar

[dukeebear]

Anybody put a bar in their house recently?

What do you use for cabinets?

How much did you spend?

Where did you buy your cabinets?

We did and we got the cabinets at Home Value before it went out of business.

When you say "We" you should say my parents, Im guesing you did not put any money into that project :wink:

Maybe not any money into it, but I'm willing to bet he hit his head a lot trying to help build it.

Wow message hijack. Anybody give me any real insight besides cycofan that gave me a place to buy a bar at a store that closed. :smile:

I put one about 5 years ago. I had the bar and the cabinets custom made. I want to say I spent about $2200 on it, but I'd have to go back through the receipts to be sure.

I am building one myself right now. I am building the cabinets, doing the plumbing, installing the countertops, etc all myself. and sourcing parts on clearance/sale as they come along.

For example, using spare materials I found on craigslist like a granite top that somebody had extra from another project) I think I got about $500 in the project (Including the fridge, which I found on clearance at Lowes)

The bar measure about 75" long.

I just started building, but it wont be too difficult. Its not going to be anything super exotic, but a nice little project for the basement to help the room appeal
