Nightlife Bar Styles, Building a Pub of Your Own.

If you have a neglected space that's in need of renovation, our DIY wood working plans will get you started in the right direction with great ideas based on thousand of hours of collaborative work by our members. The plans can be used to build a cool bar pub in your basement, garage, apartment, college frat house, dorm room, cottage, beach, patio, pool side, indoors or outdoors.
Need ideas for a unique bar theme? We've got over 6000 photos of completed bars to give you a design head start and great ideas for planning your custom bar project.

Nightlife Bar:
This cool Salt Water fish tank bar was built using the l-shaped bar plans as a guide.
A. Tracey built the bar, then hosted some wild party's for his friends. The highlight of the night (one of many I'm sure) is feeding time for the exotic Lion fish which resides in the tank.
The top is made of a clear plexi glass window which allows viewing of the feeding frenzy from above. Cool!
This is just one example of the outrageous custom jobs you can do on your own bar project. More photos in the members site.

Our members have knocked out some cool theme bars including: Sports Bars, Billiard Bars, Rustic Taverns, Western Saloons, custom inlaid tops (even one using old Hockey sticks!), Tropical and Tiki Bars. We have several examples of salt and fresh water fish tank versions too! The new CHBD Bar Resizing Tool also helps you create a customized bar layout.

Surprisingly, your bar pub need not just be a place for drinking beer or cocktails, you can also build a juice bar or health club style bar in your exercise room!
The possibilities are virtually endless!

The Builder's Gallery shows just a few of the many styles as built by our members.

Home Bar Styles are more of a decor project than that of building and actual bar.
Each style starts out with a core design and materials such as oak, cherry or maple, which is then decorated with trim, corbels or applique and lighting concepts to define the specific home bar style you prefer.
Our plans do not specify individual styles, rather they instruct you on how to build the core which is then decorated by using suggestions on the site and from sample in the extensive Builder's Gallery. Some Styles of Home Bar to consider could include:

A less time consuming option for those dreaming of a home bar is to pick up a pre-made bar rather than building it yourself. You could also hire a contractor to do the work for you. This will run you quite a few more dollars, but it's usually well worth the investment.
