Every basement remodeling project comes with its own set of challenges. If you are thinking of converting your basement into a bar, you will find plenty of inspiration online. Homeowners have been using these simple spaces are their personal bars for years. One advantage is that a bar does not have to take up a lot of space. This allows you to further improve your basement by adding a media center or entertainment area. Take the opportunity to turn your entire basement into your personal bar and grille.

The Rough Draft

You can remove a lot of stress from the process if you start with a rough floor plan. Measuring the entire room will make it easier to decide where to put the bar. You might also want to put in a TV so you can invite friends over to watch the big game. Your rough basement plan must include a spot for a sink. Any good bar will need a source of running water. This will make some plumbing work necessary. You have the choice of making the sink a part of the bar, or you can attach it to the wall. The wall might be a better choice if it gives you easier access to the pipes. The less work it requires, the lower your construction costs will be.

Storage and Disposal

You can’t have a bar without a place to put your empty cans and bottles, so place some shelves in strategic places. This will make it easier to keep the bar clean, even if you have many guests over. You will also need a fridge, so additional electrical wiring will be necessary. Think of any other appliances you will be using and make adjustments to the wiring plan accordingly, so you can get all the electrical work done at the same time. Keep in mind as well that there must be adequate lighting.

Decor Options

Decorating the basement is a personal choice. It is a good idea to consider a common theme throughout the entire bar area. Since you will be having a number of people over, you must ensure that the floor is sturdy. Tyroc Subflooring is a good option for a bar as it has a moisture barrier to protect against spills.
