The Bar is Open!!

[Dude]

Great looking bar!

Now you need to find anything and everything beer related to hang on the walls.

BTW, do you need cardboard coasters? I have a crapload I can send you.

I'm slowly accumulating as much beer paraphenalia as I can find. I have a bunch decorating the rest of my house but if I move that I still need to get more...

As for coasters, I've been "acquiring" them from bars but it's a slow process, so any extras would be thoroughly appreciated, and reciprocated w/ HB

what have you got on the right that so nicely matches the wood stain?

That's a liquor cabinet that was redone and stained w/ the same stuff as I used on the bar, still need to put the hardware back on it... It contrasts with the floor more than it looks like in these pics

Very nice. I like the Toby mugs. Cool cabinet as well. Damn, Conn is a long way from NM.

 

[c.n.budz]

I like the Toby mugs.

My father collected them. My brother has about 7-8 others. They're great decorations, but really tough to drink from.

 

[Brewpastor]

And even harder to clean. The indian is especially cool.

Wow... Digging up an old one here...

The BBQ place was Uncle Willie's, it was on Whalley Ave near the Amity/Woodbridge area. Unfortunately they moved to Watertown a few months ago....

I've made some improvements to the bar since this thread was last visited, I'll post some new pics tonight.

Digging up an old thread...

Thanks for the update, budz. we'll have to do a brew day or swap one of these days.

 

[c.n.budz]

Sounds good to me Johnny! I'm gearing up for a couple big brew weekends to replenish my stockpile

 

[IrregularPulse]

You replaced the matchbox car with a globe???? bad move, bad move indeed.


Nice looking bar.

Lookin' pretty sweet, Budz!

 

[Runyanka]

Lookin Fine! Any shots of behind?

Always so dirty... sometimes the front is good enough!

 

[humann_brewing]

nice work budz, I see this is a old thread, have you put that tap through the ringer in the last 2 years?

 

[mhermetz]

...and this is why I must move out.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Always great to see build threads revived.

Looks like a great place to have a few beers, great job!

 

[shecky]

I'll be over tomorrow.

 

[IrregularPulse]

No you won't. You'll be at UConn.

Through the wringer and then some!!

 

[c.n.budz]

I'll be over tomorrow.

We can discuss uconn's continuing problems with turnovers over a few pints of APA

Yeah, but we'll also need to discuss god-awful rebounding and poor defense. Could be a long night.

 

[c.n.budz]

Thanks for all the compliments!! All of you guys are more than welcome to come over for a pint if you're ever in town

 

[c.n.budz]

Yeah, but we'll also need to discuss god-awful rebounding and poor defense. Could be a long night.

That's a pretty long agenda right there... I guess we'll have to save their atrocious free throw percentage for another time
