I recently got rid of all the carpet in my downstairs bar/hangout area and couldn't be happier. So much easier to keep clean... Particularly with wet spills.Thanks Max! The carpet in the bar just wasn't working out, especially after I sprayed yeast and dry hop matter all over it from the new conical.
What a score! That's a great bar, I especially like the artwork on the sink. I had similar art on a brand new big screen TV when my kids were young.
Kids of the year! Well done! Copying link and sending it my boys....[emoji16]
WOW there are some beautiful bars in here! I have a looooong way to go.
Here's a pic of my decidedly unfinished basement bar.
Looks nice, well done! Did the same thing with our kitchen concrete countertops. For 50 linear feet total was like $800. Working on a brew pub and will pobably do same thing.I spend about 3 years finishing my walkout basement, doing everything myself.
The countertop is concrete, poured upside down in melamine - great outcome but intense labor. The tap tower is 3" black iron pipe. I stumbled upon the perlick kegerator when i was on craigslist looking for a CO2 tank for a keezer, it was 3 miles away and the price was far too good to turn down.View attachment 627815View attachment 627816
Also, not sure what took me so long but this is my first post.
After seeing this one I'm not sure even to try and make one at home. You've set the "bar" to high my friend

Thank you for the kind words. But please use this as an inspiration to build your own, not as a barrier. I'm not a contractor or anything remotely close. I learned as I went. Anyone can do it with enough research and willingness to learn and make mistakes as you go.After seeing this one I'm not sure even to try and make one at home. You've set the "bar" to high my friend
Looks great - any chance of a building parts list for those iron towers? I assume you made these?, including lengths of the barrel pieces?
Here’s my spot. Took few years to plan and many nights to figure out all the details. Managing 6 taps was a challenge to figure out but I stole 2 shelves in storage room and put in a commercial kegerator that can fit 4 5 gal cornies and on back leg I get 2 3 gal kegs. Drip try runs to a drain for any leaks. My wife’s request was a dishwasher behind bar and talked me into 6 taps vs 4 I originally spec’ed in. My goal was to make a Irish/English style pub. The stone work ties into the fire place in the basement. I only make beer for the bar, had to hire a craft mans to build it. Best part, first beer I served from the tap was to my builder and his helper. View attachment 654336View attachment 654337View attachment 654338

You guys make me want to buy another house just to build an inside brew pub. One question, what are those poor guitars doing behind glass?? Built my VERY humble brewpub shead around the piano.
Total cost of 2500 and only 2 months of build time on my weekends was the main benefit.View attachment 654943View attachment 654944View attachment 654945View attachment 654946
Looks like a good place to drink beer to me!

Picked up the bar in a consignment shop. Got the stools on Craigslist. Bought the lighted 3 tier display and lighted shelves online. Shelves and 3 tier display light up and change colors. Kegerator from (where else?) Kegerator.com. Handpump from UK Brewing. I’ve since added a portable ice maker and a Margaritaville frozen margarita maker, not in the pictures.
Bar is only 5 feet. I had to make it work in the little space I had in the basement. No sink, no wetbar, and no bathroom down there.

Love the beer engine. I need one of those.

I got mine from UK Brewing. They sell all kinds of cask ale supplies. The link above is great info how to connect it. It took me a bit to figure it out. So I’ll pass it on and hopefully save you some trouble.
Do you know if you can use this with a regular old keezer with the tap on top?
