This has been posted on rspeed already, but I’ll share it here as well.
-8 foot long
-oak
-took 6 months to make (mainly weekend project)
-had it for a year an a half now
I still have to build the bar back, but I’ve been lazy lately (for a year, ha!).
It beats going out to a bar. Especially when a 16 oz beer only cost me about 70 cents when a bar will charge you $3.50+
Here it is
front corner
back area
found some blue ropelight and put it to use. It gets the job done, although it can look tacky at times.
keg door
cold enough?
I push mad PSI, what?! (I don’t care that it’s dirty… it’s a damn bar)
Where I usually stand. And yes, the tap handles are accurate. I have Sam Adams, Bud Light and the “Black Dog Ale” handle is used for my Homebrew.
Carbon Fiber drip tray
where everyone else chills
da foos (I’m not very good)
view from the foos (notice the magic hat Keg as a end table…HA!)

Nice work on the bar. I’ll have to get some pics up of my friends bar I made for him. In one of your pics I saw little fans, what are you using those for?

The circulate air around the mini fridge. The Keg cooler is powered by a 2.7 cu/ft mini fridge. I took the door off and turned it to face the right (if you were behind the bar) and then built a very well insulated area that essentially acts like a extension to the fridge. Fridges not only cool air, but also dissipate heat. If you completely enclose the fridge then is will have no where to dissipate the heat. If I didn’t put those there then the compressor would probably burn out rather quickly. I also have two fans inside the keg box to circulate the cool air.

my contractor buddy suggested that exact thing, but I think it’d be a bit too much. Wood bar, wood bar back (yet to be built), wood ceiling and wood walls… god damn. Contrast is good.
I will be getting recessed lights and other little goodies, but so much other stuff takes priority (like making sure the bar is always fully stocked :nod)

very nice. I’ve been doing it for a year an a half. I’m lucky enough to keg all my homebrews. Don’t think I have the patience to bottle them all.

yea the first batch I did I used traditional bottles that I capped. then the second time I used grolsch’s, now I plan on mixing in a few 2L and 1L grolsch’s type bottles. I hope to get a stainless fermenter and some other goodies soon. sucks having to do it in my apartment right now, but oh well
