I just thought I would write quickly about home bars. Here is mine, while not perfect it does the job quite nicely.
The Bar itself is a garden bar i picked up at Ganleys in Athlone. It closes down to half that size for easy storage but mine stays where it is. I varnished it so it looks better than the usual stained wood you get in garden furniture. It came with two wooden bar stools which were very big so i replaced them with brown leather to go with my Dinner table chairs. I fit a light to the underside of the bar too and i have a stereo also.
The Other side of the bar has enough space for about 30 bottles of spirits and mine is full. There are also two little drawers were i store drink recipes and co2 cartridges for my chiller/tap.
The Chiller/Tap is a Morphy Richards that I got for €99 in Lidl. It takes standard 5L mini-kegs but not the Heineken one as that uses its own dispenser.
In this image here you will see my Cider. It dispenses pretty well and chills your beer nicely. The fact it uses co2 bulbs means i can regulate my co2 and induce some carbonation if needed.
No Bar would be complete without a TV so i got a cheap LCD from argos and mounted it on the wall. I use a digi-sender so i can control the sky box in the front room.
My dream is to one day have a proper bar with proper taps but for now, this does perfectly fine.
