The Dan Cave – Basement Bar – Before and After:

Building a Bar in your basement is probably the most logical way to transform that damp, dingy and literally scary basement space into a warm, inviting living area. First, learn to prepare your basement for the bar installation, then let your imagination run. Site member Dan decided to transform this nasty “endungeoned” corner of his basement into a cozy party bar. He did well. Great job Dan!
