Remodeling Other Basements

basement bar help

3 years ago

I want to build a countertop in-front of my wet bar. Ideally I want this to be two levels so I can make a drink while my guest can sit in the other side and enjoy. My question is where do I get the base for the bar and where do I even begin to look. I don’t mind having storage space but I don’t need space for fridges and such since I already have it by the wet bar.

Try searching kitchen island with seating. Websites like Wayfair have tons of options example

Our bar was actually designed and built, then cabinets fit below. Used IKEA cabinets and trimmed off the drawer to create the low bar. Only oversight was slightly less top bar setback for mixing than desired. Storage was great. Allow sufficient work space, everyone wants yo play bartender.

Frame everything out and cover it using decorative panels and trim, or you can use framing for seating and wall cabinets on the inside with doors or open... there are many ways and many options how you can do this...
