New Bar
Zakk:
Built a place to finally store my arcade games properly. Used to be a hallway and a basement bedroom (walkout basement), and is now a spiffy bar/arcade.
The entire build will be featured in Gameroom Magazine in upcoming months. I figured that Kevin would appreciate a few more subscriptions, so I thought I'd give him a plug http://www.gameroommag.com/ ;D
Anyway, some features of the bar:
Custom oak veneer top and oak bar rail
Custom cabinetry
tile foot rail
custom wet bar setup with round stainless sink
300 lb per day manitowoc ice machine
Ice crusher
bar fridge
Separate wine cellar area (cold room)
color changing LED setup, remote control
Backlit bottle area
heated floor system
2 monitor wi fi entertainment system
Arcade area with Pac man, defender, MAME, a custom tron upright, mspac cocktail and a touchmaster 7000. Soon adding a golden tee
Dart area with staplesess 'blade' dartboard, and custom dart rail
'63 gibson SG and amp in case you feel like strumming a few power chords
Opens to hot tub just outside, and the outside poolside bar
We had a party with 45 signed guests, a 7 piece band, 2 bartenders and a chef, and everyone had fun and nobody got crowded. The area behind the bar was a sea of beer and spilled, umm, stuff, so I know it was a success.
I plan to put in a Wunderbar gun system to dispense soda. I was all set to install a beer tower, even got a tower, but the party reminded me how much I hate draught beer.
Anyway, I'm happy to give tips, although it would be better to subscribe to the magazine, as I understand the author of the articles is a totally awesome guy (depending on who you ask!) ;D
Now to see if I can upload the photos without the board erasing all my typing (again!) ....

Wow. That looks like a fantastic setup. :notworthy:
I am envious of how much space you have.

Heh, that still leaves 5 bedrooms, 3 living rooms, a dining room, etc etc in the place. I went from a 4+2 bedroom house to a 4+1+bar, so I don't think I lost any value in the property. ;D
Shortbus:
Nice work....I like the lighting, looks like place I'd definately hang out....your lucky.
Is that a basement? One thing that I miss, since moving to Florida, upstairs and basements.
very cool, Nice dog too....

*boggles* A house that size in Vancouver would run 750,000 to 1.5 million, depending on the proximity to the city.
I really like the tiled-foot rest at the base of the bar. It echoes the brick wall. And the underlighting is just freakin' cool. It sets up a great mood lighting. I could see spending a lot of hours hanging out there.
