Jack:

I don’t think anyone wanted to touch this one, you’re attempting to jam 10 lbs of meat into a one pound bag.

I’d get out a tape measure and graph paper to lay it out, but you are correct about the limited size you have available. You can modify the bar to shorten a leg to allow for a little more space.

Can you scan a rough drawing to show where your door is?

I drew up a simple layout that might help, but I know nothing of your door layout.

See attached drawings…

Fig 1 – default layout for your room size
Fig 2 – shifted bar to eliminate keg box section, but leave a slim 35″ for seating. It’s cozy, but it’ll work, however, you’d need an extra door on the back wall or a flapper door in the bar top to access the back bar.

You could also rotate the bar CCW 90 degrees and have the keg box section against the wall, then just shorten the main leg to allow you to SQUEEZE behind the bar. However that eliminates one side of seating.

I’m working on a sample of that option…

Typically the side against the wall will not get arm rail molding, so take that into consideration. There is no right or wrong way to do this. I would simply remove omit the arm rail, bar overhang and foot rest from the side that attaches to the wall.

If that shortens the bar too much (should be less than 6″), you can always add length using the CHBD.

The gallery has a lot of projects that use bottle caps, coins, corks, and even hockey pucks sealed in envirotex. I try to tag them with keywords when I see them so try using the search function.
