Got this for free today! What to do with it???

So went with the GF to Border's today and sitting outside was this big wood cabinet/bar/desk thingy with a "free" sign on it. It's made of some sort of hard wood and weighs about 300lbs.

When I saw it, it just screamed "bar" it's like 3/4 of a bar I said to myself.

So after some back breaking labor we got it in the truck and into the apt.

Here's some pics (excuse the washcloths under the corners of it I used them to slide it once we got it in)

It's 55"w x 30"d x 40"h

If I gutted it I think I could fit a freezer in there 49"w x 28"d x 33"h though I could get more height out of it if I get the inside floor out to.

What do you guys think? Any ideas?

Cool score!
looks like a great place to store/Age your bottled beer...I cant tell if its tall enough for a mini fridge (maybe with some modification) but yea...looks great

Has excellent potential. I see a couple cold kegs under, a couple taps on top, nice glassware and your in business.

Sweet free score! I would gut it an put a 5 cu. ft. freezer in there with a dual tap tower.

Keezer

I agree with your statement about gutting it and installing a keezer or mini-fridge inside of it.

Keezer or fermentation chamber. At least that's what I'd do. Nice score.

I'll vote for a keezer. Put a bottom with casters on it, build a skirt, rip the stuff out of the middle and slide the chest freezer in there!

What size freezer would fit?

I think you'll probably have to do the legwork for that one my friend! There's no standard measurements between manufacturers, just check Craigslist in your area and get the measurements.

From looking at the specs on Lowes if I cut the floor out of the bar I could fit a 9 cf freezer in there which would hold 8 kegs.

Wow that thing does look heavy! Nice score!

I'm looking for something like that for my soda dispenser conversion. Sweet!
