EHBP-11 Lighted Bar Back Design | Easy Home Bar Plans

EHBP-11 Lighted Bar Back Design:

Complete your home bar with the EHBP-11 lighted, convertible bar back cabinet project.
This project can be built in three different configurations:

A full-height bar back.
A half-height wall hanger model.
Just the bottom cabinet as a walk-up bar.

What’s more, the EHBP-11 project can be resized to custom fit your available space using the free CHBD design tool. The CHBD is included when you join the site. If you want to fit a bar sink into the base, you can make it deeper just by using the CHBD. Take a look through the home bar photos page to see many variations using this exact design and some unique variations.

Racheal L. – Used as a Walk-Up Bar

As a Walk-Up Bar:

Site member Racheal L. sent us this photo of her walk-up bar adaptation. She used the EHBP-11 project as the bar itself in a walk-up configuration.

If space is an issue, this setup is the perfect solution as it only requires 16 to 18 inches of space from the wall. Perfect for a studio apartment or anywhere you don’t want a full bar.

Rachael did an excellent job of recreating this project exactly to the specifications outlined in the plans.

Variations:

The only variation is the use of mirrors behind the shelves. The standard plan set shows how to place a lighting pocket behind the shelves using opaque Plexiglas.

The CHBD allows you to modify the overall dimensions of this project.

Walk-Up Liquor Dispenser Bar

Site member Bob P took it up a notch or two with his cool walk-up liquor bar variation. Bob used repurposed wood, which not only makes sense these days but can also provide unique rustic beauty like Bob’s custom creation. The four-bottle liquor dispensers can be found on Amazon.
