Rec Room Contractors - Top Wet Bar Designs

Are you the type of homeowner who complains "Every time I host a party, everyone seems to end up in the kitchen"? If so, you may want to avoid the same knee-jerk reaction other homeowners make in hiring a contractor to build out a rec room and bar in the basement. Today, modern homes are getting a makeover with built-in bars that are out in plain sight, highly functional and built for speed.

A built-in wet bar is the perfect fit around the home if you're pressed for time. This comes in handy when you've got guests or family to take care of because in many cases a bar allows people to serve themselves. One of the greatest benefits is that the right bar can accent just about any room in your home. If you want to work with a contractor to upgrade your living space then considering adding one of these bar designs in your home:

The Butler's Pantry Bar

These often resemble an over-sized furniture piece like a buffet and tend to span entire walls. The benefit here is that you have a highly efficient entertainment area to suit multiple guests. The long flat surface is often accented with upper cabinets to handle wine glasses, beer steins and other goblets for guests. Below, hidden away, guests can find icemakers and bottle-cooling drawers depending on the design you choose for your home. If you like to embellish when you hire a contractor, opt for a sink built into the stone countertop of this sleek kitchen-style bar.

"Pull up a Chair" Bar

The seated bar is a fan favorite, and it's the most commonly built style in many basement rec rooms. The L shape is the most favored style of wet bar where the server remains behind while guests and family can pull up a stool and have a seat while they wait to be served. A contractor often designs the bar with a lip so stools can be slid underneath for storage while also providing a place for elbows to prop while sitting. These designs often have simple sinks, room for small appliances and are typically accented with frosted glass or intricate paneling along the walls, lined with simple trim moulding.

The "Anywhere" Bar

If your home has you limited in the amount of space you have to work with, then find your water line and follow it through the home. There's a good chance that it runs through some alcoves, nooks or behind small closets. Any of those locations can easily be turned into a wet bar. The benefit of a closet wet bar is that it can be closed off and put out of sight when you're not entertaining. You need very little room - just enough for the sink, the serving and prep area and some additional space for storage (drinks and glasses).

Ye Olde Pub & Brew Haus

While working with a contractor is great for designing a custom bar, you can get a lot of play out of an old bar setup from a dealer. It's not even difficult to get your hands on a retro bar setup. If you don't have the budget to buy up and transfer the main pieces of a retro bar or pub then consider working with a dealer and a contractor to get buy the old bar back. It can give even a new wet bar design in your home that Olde Pub feel and it's a great way to give your living space that "saloon" touch.
