Home bar finally done. Lots of pics

[iamopie2]

Here is the space i started with with some hard wood laid down and the siding going up.

My red oak bar stop that i stained and epoxied with bar top stuff. The trim around it is stair hand rails that were chamfered (sp?) and set onto the bar.

Here is a good picture of the paint color and crown molding.

Kegs in the fridge for right now are Yuengling, Sweetwater 420, and Sweetwater blue. Home brews are fermenting right now to go into my own kegs.

C02 tank and lines ran to the taps.

Two double tower taps installed with drip trays.

Finished bar with booze and chairs. Still need to make shelves for the liquor.

Very cool man! I like the chair rail idea a lot! One suggestion... I would put up some sort of shelving (maybe with glass behind) to store your liquor bottles and glassware. That way it leaves the bar top open and clean looking. But hey, these things are always never ending projects.

 

[iamopie2]

Yeah i mentioned that, i just need to get a good idea of how i want to make the shelves

 

[macabra11]

Take a look at these. I think you could make something yourself with more than one shelf, but this could spark some ideas.

How do you get kegs in and out of the keezer?

I had no idea that was your garage until the last photo...

 

[iamopie2]

The bar and freezer are on felt pads so its just a little bit of sliding and it easy to get to the freezer.

How long are your lines that allow you top pull the fridge out with them still attached to the taps? I was wanting to do this type of setup but couldn't figure out how to make it easy switch out the legs without disconnecting the lines everytime and without having lots of line outside the freezer.

Heh, same here. I could probably get away with doing something like that in the garage of the townhouse i'm buying with my fiance.. hmmmmmm.

Nice bar! Home brew, darts, AND a Road King Classic - you're my new hero! :rockin: SWMBO might just hate you for posting this...

Good thing about being single..no SWMBO lol
Between the bar and the bike though its a good way to find one....

The lines going out to the taps are about 10 ft for all the reasons i need 10 ft of beer line. And the taps are directly above the freezer so i didnt need a lot of slack to begin with to get the freezer in and out. It works out really well.

 

[IrregularPulse]

so having 10ft of line outside the fridge in the garage during summer doesn't give you any foaming problems or leave the beer in the lines to warm/hot to drink? or do you dump the first couple ounces at the beginning of a session?

 

[iamopie2]

The first half pint is foam and i just dump that, then its all good. It was the price i had to pay to build it the way i did.

Isn't it odd that this is what attracts them but then after they've got you they want it to all go away?...... hmmm..... chicks... SWEET setup btw!!!
