Bar Ideas For Man Caves

When I think of a Man Cave, there are standard items and decor that always cross my mind. A proper entertainment center, entertainment , such as a pool table, foos ball and such, proper lighting and of course, a BAR! Adding a bar creates a centralized area for congregating and mixing drinks. During half time or at the end of along evening, its important to have this type of area to unwind and discuss life and future plans.

Not only is adding a bar to your Man Cave a great social idea – but it adds good energy and creates the perfect atmosphere for our special space. And you dont need a ton of extra space either! There are some quality home bar set ups that only require around 20-30 square feet (give or take).

And because the bar is an essential addition to any man cave, we will go over the different options for adding your own bar – including ‘Building Your Own Bar’ ideas. Whether you want a bar that fits a sports themed man cave or a bar and stools that form a special look and feel – you can easily create a perfect space within your man cave for an additional ‘get away’ spot when the game is over or at the end of the night.

Buying Pre-Built Home Bars

As with anything, there are different styles and quality between the different home bars. So we must think about some of the things that should be taken into account when looking for a pre-built bar.

Budget
Size
General Purposes
Man Cave Theme and Decor

When I am looking for pre-built home bars, I only look at 2 different online businesses. One is a solid company that offers great quality at prices that wont break the bank – and the other is higher quality craftsmanship with top of the line materials for considerably higher prices.

Both have gained my trust by ALWAYS providing me with EXACTLY what I want, when they say it will be delivered by a certain date, its ALWAYS here by said date.

How To Build Your Own Home-Bar

Now, there are some good reasons for building your own bar. Besides budget restrictions , we might want to design something particular, maybe we love building and woodworking, maybe we have extra wood and materials left over from a previous project and so on.

The main thing to consider when deciding to build your own bar, is ensuring that we build a quality product. Not only will it hold up, but it should look clean and professional. The bar is gonna be ‘make it or break it’ – we cant afford to create an eye-sore after all the planning and hard work that go into putting our man cave together.

But there is a simple way to ensure that our home bar is built properly , finished professionally and meets our expectations completely. By following a simple ‘Check-List’ , you will build confidence in your bar building knowledge and ensure that the finished product exceeds all bar building standards.

This check-list is easy, quick and thorough. All we are trying to do here is build a foundation of knowledge that will guide us through the entire bar building process. And I can almost guarantee that by the time you have completed this list, you will have been introduced to some experienced woodworkers/carpenters that will ultimately help guide you through the process on a much higher level:

Check out the local bar – ask to look BEHIND the bar to see the basic layout.
Check the internet for woodworking project plans for building a bar.
Draw up some plans 1st – get an idea of how much wood you will need and experiment with creative options.
Check the library out – there might be some woodworking books there.
Check out as many bars in your area as you can – look for the types of designs and decor being used.
Ask your local lumber yard which type of wood is best.
Ask around to see if anyone you know is experienced with woodworking.

So that’s our starting point. Make sure you use all the resources available to you – both online and off. Materials are key. Which wood is best, what tools work best with said wood, and how do professionals work with specific materials to ensure that the finished product meets the highest standards?
