Build my Bar!

Looking for someone/s to design and build a basement bar. Already has a rough-in for the wet bar.
We've had 2 people come in already, and both have been saying, "whatever you want" and sending us to other places to pick out granite and/or cabinets.
Looking for someone with some vision, who's built a bar before, and has ideas to give us about things we should consider.
I cannot design it myself!!!
PM me if you are interested, or post here if you you know someone. Would really like someone who has put in a basement bar before and not someone who just knows how to "put in sink and some drywall".

Where's Kaosdad? He might want a gig on the side... He loves that stuff!

 

Sadly - I'd have to send you to 1956 Port Said Egypt. That being said - Your first consideration is your bar appliances. How much counter space will you need? What are you going to do about ice - a normal ice maker in the fridge? Coolers for bagged Party Ice? Or are you going to spend the Big Buxx and get a stand alone maker?

Next - think about under/over counter storage. How will you stow glassware? Will it be in a cabinet, or in one of those overhead hangers, or both? Speaking of which - are going to want a dish washer? A full sized fridge or bar sized?

You can get some ideas on model row. As I recall the Fitz II had a nice setup in the basement. Check that out.

Last consideration - do you want this to be a full service bar, or some parts (like the beer fridge) self service?

I'll check back and see if I can be of more help.

Inspiration:

 

get a foosball table!! and then call me over to crush all

 

The foosball table is already there. But still need darts, Megatouch, and either a pool table or a shuffleboard table thingy.

Kao....good stuff to consider....gotta get to work. Do I even ask the wife her opinions?

 

JLC Contracting built our bar. Wish I could find some pics but I'm sure Jay has them. We had a half wall built of drywall, covered it with a hardwood flooring on the countertop area, covered the drywall with stained board.

It sounds weird but turned out great!!!!

You DEFINITELY ask your wife!!!

 

Very nice Kaos, is that a Sinclair model? Just wondering since I have one and in the process of finishing my basement.

 

Yes it is. When we bought they were offering the built out basement for free.

 

I can build you a bar! I did one is Ashburn Farms that came out really nice. If you really won't one that stands out try using a Honey Onyx granite top with low voltage lighting underneath to allow the milk white granite to glow. An example of a Honey Onyx top can be seen at Galaxy Granite's show room in Ashburn off Loudoun County Parkway. Check it out and let me know if your still interested.

 

Meeting today with a recommending person (from this thread). Will update this thread tomorrow morning with results.
