Create a Rec Room/Bar
When building a rec room bar the first thing to think about is the space and size. Most bars are 43 inches high and 42 inches deep. Depending on the size of the bar stools you plan on using, the height may vary. You will also have to frame the bar and leave enough room between the bar and back wall when building a rec room bar. 4 feet should be enough for any sized bartender.
You will have to consider the plumbing needs if you want hot and cold running water along with the drainage needs of said water. There is also the need to have electricity to the bar, you definitely need to have a blender/mixer for the bar plus mood lighting and clock. There is also the need for switches and plug ins and lighting for under the bar top.
The bar top is the most difficult part of the bar so that it has been said by many rec room bar builders. Most often the bars are built of many different materials and sizes. Builders usually recommend a hard wood such as Oak and it does look good.
The most important part is the under bar where you will be mixing and making drinks. You do not want to forget the cabinets for storing and the sink and possibly a small refrigerator. Do not forget the back bar where you will be storing and showing your liquor collection.
Now is the time to think of the flooring that you will use, be it carpet, rugs or other flooring.
