Man Cave Home Bars

Home bars give a room a second place to gather. They create a standing zone with a purpose of its own, and they hold the bottles, glassware and tools that would otherwise spread across every surface in the room. Size follows the wall you can give it. A compact bar takes around 5 feet. A bar with a back unit and overhead glass storage wants 8 feet or more, plus standing room on both sides. Counter height is typically 42 inches, which pairs with 30 inch stools. The range covers freestanding bars with a serving counter, back bar units with shelving and mirror panels, and sets combining both. Look for a sealed or lacquered top, since untreated timber marks under a wet glass within weeks.
