The Barage home bar

[bkwudz]

I am just about finished with my garage bar.

And to celebrate I started home brewing again, very happy with the results for the first batch after a few years off.

I took a true bar back cooler and added a tower to it, it's built into the wall.

Fantastic!:rockin:

Oh, wow! That is so awesome. I have severe garage envy.

I showed the pictures to Bob, and he said, "That's nice. Where does he keep his cars?" I don't think he has the same dreams I do. :cross:

Three car, one bay is all bar, middle bay can fit a the wife's car in the winter, but most of the time it is used for the 110" projector screen.

The last bay is where I store and work on my Willys Jeep, but when more space is needed for a big party, I pull it out.

Wow sweet garage. Nice job. I'd love to come up to mass with a keg of homebrew and hang there for a while. Cheers

bkwuds, I work in Billerica. Maybe I should drop on by on the way home for a couple of pops?

And damn, I think I'm developing a man crush on you for having the best band in the world on that 110" projection. :rockin:

Can I move into the garage? I could pay for room and board with 5 gallon batches every couple of weeks!

Ehhhhhh??????? Wow do I feel like a loser in life right about now! What an amazing setup, and Rush to boot. Well done, and if you ever need someone to help with any part of your existence, I'll mail you my resume. All kidding aside, beautiful setup.

Well Done! Nice to see such a fine use of a garage - and right off Rt. 3 too!

Does the small juke box on the table really work?

 

[Welderbydaybrewerbynight]

[mtnagel]

Seriously awesome! I would never leave!

Does the small juke box on the table really work?

Sure does, it hooked up to an interface a that let's it select tunes off an iPod. And it plays through the surround sound system in the Barage.

Thanks for all the complements, That's about 3 years of hard DIY work, even the poured concrete bar top

How much of a pain was doing the poured concrete bar top? I want to do that in my kitchen.

Pouring was easy, polishing was a total PITA, but that was because I poured it in place. Should have poured it separate and finished it outside. Inside made a total mess.

Great bar and awesome Willys! No reason to leave that man cave unless its to take that Willys four wheeling. Awesome job!
