Well, sadly those days are over, unless of course you have an expendable income or drive a Prius. High prices drive up the cost of entertainment everywhere, and it not just the fuel cost. Higher prices translate to an increased in everything from the beer, liquor and soda to those tasty little goldfish crackers and pretzels. But what can be done to lower your entertainment cost?

Build a Home Bar!

Building a home bar allows you to entertain at home and save hundreds, if not thousands of dollars per year.
There are many additional benefits…

  8. You can smoke in your own home. No judgement here.
  9. You can cuss all you want without being ejected from the establishment.

The Cost of Entertainment

You already know the cost of going out on the town. Besides the risks, the price of drinks can quickly drain your pocket book, especially when you start having a little too much fun. When you entertain at home, you save money and stay safe.

We cover all that and more separate articles titled: The Cost of Beer – Building a Home Bar on a Budget – and Don’t Drive Drunk, Build a Home Bar.

Don’t Forget the Memories

A home bar is a special place to forge great memories through the the entire year, for birthdays, holidays and even your favorite seasonal sporting events. Every site member I have talked to describes the joy and happiness they experience by having the ability to entertain at home, decorating and personalizing their home bar and enjoy sharing their special place with friends and family. Not to mention the pride in building it themselves. See the site members entertaining at home below and more completed home bar projects here.

It’ll cost you an arm and a leg to fill up these days. Stay home, build a bar. It helps lower CO2 too!

Save Gas by Entertaining at Home

After years of high prices, we were seeing little to no relief at the pump. Oil speculation and supply issues will likely always remain.
Let’s face it, World oil consumption is on the rise with no sign of decline. Growing populations and increased global demand  combined with refining troubles and middle east tensions will guarantee that your weekend trip to the bar, pub or nightclub will eventually become even more expensive. The solution? Build a bar and entertain in your own home. It helps lower oil demand and more, so do your part and get busy building today!

It’s fun, saves gas and keeps drunk drivers off the road!

No need to mention the added benefit of avoiding mixing drinking and driving. No more drunk driving, OWI, DWI or DUI problems to worry about. Our plans provide plenty of home entertainment and home remodeling ideas to make your completed project the new hot spot of your neighborhood.

    UPDATE: 2019 and happily gas prices are still an affordable $2.39/gallon in the Midwest. But, it’s still makes so much sense to entertain at home.
    As a side note, the booming economy has just seen the Dow Jones index hit a record 28,000.

    Update: Gas Falls in 2016:
    I’ll be the first to admit I was wrong and happily so. The unexpected drop in gas prices is mostly due to OPEC flooding the market and possibly some carefully planned relaxation of gouging. It just demonstrates the volatility of energy prices. As of September 15th 2016, local gas prices in Wisconsin are about $2.18 per gallon. Election day is coming soon. I’d expect prices to change for the worse after that date. Build that bar today and be prepare for the likelihood of higher prices in the future. Cheers!
