EHBP-01 Plan Overview sample
This project is heavy and stable enough to withstand abuse, yet light enough for two men to move into place. Includes full step by step framing instructions, 3D assembly diagrams, cut list and material shopping list. Back is open for custom shelving, kegerator or fridge and waste containers.
Basic Bar Design Options:
The back, or bartender side of the basic bar is completely open to configure as you see fit. Here are some ideas for things you can add to the back bar area.
- Optional 16″ high shelves for liquor bottles and glassware.
- Add a mini bar fridge up to 32″ high.
- Add a kegerator, detach tower or drill a hole for draft tower.
- Garbage can.
- Dishwasher.
- Locked liquor cabinet.
- Stereo or karaoke equipment.
Plan set provides the open space that you can then populate with whatever equipment you like.
This straight bar project can be nominally resized in length, width and height.
The CHBD is completely optional and NOT required to build the standard model.
Finishing off the project with bar stools:
No home bar is complete without a nice set of bar stools. We’ve followed the online bar stool retailers for over 15 years. Our sources offer the best deal in quality bar seating. Shop for Bar Stools

This bar requires “Bar Height” stools. Click image for models.
