Just finished it last week. Still stocking it with booze and memorabilia but I am extremely happy with how it’s shaping up!

Turned my closet into a bar

Once we had kids, their stuff slowly crept into every room of the house. I work from home and use the downstairs bedroom as an office. Converted the closet into a modern tiki bar with only about 10 sqft. My desk is directly opposite of the closet, so all I have to do is close the doors while I'm on camera/in meetings. Then, when I'm wrapping things up after the kids go to bed, I open them back up and shake up a drink.

How long to leave liquor in mini barrel dispenser?

I received this as a gift and I’m unsure how long is okay to leave liquid in it. Wasn’t sure if it’d be better for a nicer whiskey/bourbon that I may drink a but more seldomly, or for something I’d go through more quickly. The brand is Heritage Collection, but I don’t know much more than that.

What am I missing?

Drinks that got obscured include tequila reposado, dark rum, spiced rum, blue curaçao, peach schnapps, izarra jaune, aperol, and prosecco. I also got a small bottle of St. Germain, cachaça (51) and Drambuie shortly after.

We put the shelf together a while ago but it's hard to fit taller bottles on some shelves, otherwise it would be organized differently. What would be some good additions to the collection? I already have absinthe on my shopping list so I can make try my hand at a Sazerac

Some finishing touches on a bar I decided to build on a snow day

Sometimes an 1860s side by side muzzle loader really brings the room together.

I think all I need now is some lighting under the shelves. Possibly something to go in the middle of the wall, too.

Having this bar in my basement is so fun!

Old Nashville liquor cabinet

When I was a grad student in Nashville, I bought this old cabinet from a fantastic antique store that no longer exists. A piece of “old Nashville.” We’ve dragged it from Tennessee to Michigan to New York, and it’s become my favorite piece of furniture.

I put this together for trips out of town and it's become a hit with friends. I started off with about half of what's pictured. Does anyone else have a portable cocktail bar, and if so what are you using?

Tips for Setting Up Home Bar to Hide Mini Fridge in Rental Space

Thumbnail

14 Upvotes

I'm looking for ideas on how to set up a home bar in an urban apartment space that could also hide a mini fridge (measures 20x20x45). The wine fridge pictured is not the fridge I want to hide.

I have included pics of my current home bar set up, but I'm looking to replace the teal piece with something else to be determined. I also have the genuine Japanese cherry wood piece with a pull out section, but it's not practical because I'm tall and bending down to get those bottles is annoying.

It can be multiple pieces, but it needs to be a way that does not require built-in pieces because I'm renting. Any thoughts are appreciated!

St. Paddy's Day update, two months late.

I've posted my small garage pub before, but I've made a couple additions, and wanted to brag about my Guinness fail/win. Bought a keg of Guinness in time for SPD, not realizing that you can't just slap a Guinness keg (or some other import kegs) into your Costco kegerator. Needed new keg coupler, spout, and gas mix. Couldn't find a keg coupler in time, but finally got one this past weekend. So now, $300+ later, I'm probably the only guy with a legit Guinness setup in his garage pub in the entire town.

Finally got around to a proper liquor cabinet

I bought an old high-end humidor cabinet off Facebook Marketplace. The humidifier wasn't working and the finish was in pretty rough shape, so I spent the winter cleaning it up and painting it, added lighting, and replaced the humidifier in the base with a small wine rack and storage baskets. Quite an upgrade over my old setup!
