    Ceilings are very low in my basement, so decided to go with a dark color on the to try and draw your attention more horizontal towards the walls and not the low ceiling. Works well! Made the room look bigger!

    Those are 2 of the heaviest duty stripper poles I've ever seen.


    Wish my living room looked half as good but I'm single with a 5 year old. I'm years from having anything nice again.

    7 people can sit comfortably around the bar with plenty of elbow room and eating space...

    Yeah? I thought it would be better in the corner to bounce off multiple walls?

    The best place is likely a foot from any wall or large object (in this case the fireplace), but that depends on the size of the woofer and the room acoustics. Having it too close to the wall will cause it to boom and create some undesirable sound effects.

    Have had multiple parties and more to come!! The comment every person tends to say when they see it for the first time is "Holy **** this is like sitting at a real bar!!" lol

    I've had people see pictures on facebook and ask what bar I was at last night

    Why is there a laundry room in the man cave? Couldn't you put the washer and dryer upstairs in the kitchen so the SWMBO never has to leave the kitchen?

    Very nice job! The bar area turned out great and I like the tip jar (you may as well get something for your efforts). Also, the painted fireplace was the right touch. That is a great way to take care of the old red brick.
