Hey guys,
As I mentioned in my intro, I had a feeling I would be calling on your guys for some help. So here is where I am at. I bought my house a couple years ago and had a custom bar made. I love the bar but it was built before I started brewing my own beer and at the time, I wasn't interested in having taps. Well, that has changed. I now really want to have 3 taps at my bar to serve the beers that I have brewed. I really only need 2 but I want room to grow haha
So I have exhausted all creative options while talking things over with my contractor friend. There is only one place I can possibly put things. It is under the corner part of the bar where the garbage/recycling cans currently are. They are currently on a slider that is within a box (to make things look clean) but that box will be removed. Here in a picture of the area, with the box still in it. It will be totally empty and free to use.
I did a sketch of a rough diagram of the area as if you were looking down on it from above. The 39" dimension is the opening that you are looking at in the picture. There is a middle vertical wood piece in the picture, that can be removed for easier access. (the dimension that is cut off in the pic is 24")

So here is my question, what can I do under there to have 3-5gallon kegs cooling and "on tap". I thought a fridge/kegerator but I am not sure if I can fit on under there. Based on those dimensions, what do you guys think? Are there any other options?
This area is directly below where I want to run the taps, so it will be easy to have the hoses and what not. I am just going to have the granite company come drill a hole for the dispensing unit.
There is no other area in the bar that I can take over for more room, I would love too but I just can't (they are being used). I really don't want to run stuff through walls from another room to have a cooling unit as this bar project cost enough and that wouldn't be cost effective. I really just want to utilize this space.
Thank you guy so much for your help!!! I can't wait to see the suggestions and come up with a solution.
All the best
Ryan
