Now, they have started the flooring. I went with a Brazilian slate tile, in a pattern of different sizes. My concept is one of an Irish pub. The bar will be stained a dark brown, with a hint of red. That is it so far. I will continue to update this thread with the progress. It is...

Moving the keezer also gave me a whole bunch of new, usable, counter space. I had a 3 tier liquor stand planned for the back corner, under the TV, but I decided to run it along the whole back wall. I have a lot of bottles so, it worked out well. It will be lit from below when completed. THey...

I plan to have a bar mirror, on the back wall, that will have a decal that looks like etching. Huge difference in price between real etching and the decal. $2,000 vs. $176. Made the choice easy.

After much deliberation, I decided to start work on a real bar for the basement, of course incorporating the keezer. I am not the handiest with a hammer, so I found a contractor to build it for me. I also hired a designer to provide the CAD drawings to the builder, to make sure I ended up with...

First I wanted to thank everyone who has posted their builds of Keezers or Kegerators. You all gave me the inspiration and the ideas to build my bar. I thought I would share my progress, and hopefully soon, final pictures. I started with buying a 24.9cf chest freezer and converting it...
