So your an entertainer right? You probably throw your own parties, and most of the time your guests sit around the kitchen table, in the living room, or outside on the deck. If your an entertainer, your most likely creative...so we've got a project for you! For under $500 dollars, we will show you how to turn your creepy, moldy smelling basement into a thriving private bar for all of your friends and family to enjoy. Of course, stocking the bar would cost a few hundread more, so were going to leave the alcohol up to you!

First and foremost, your going to need two things we can't provide...space, and the ACTUAL bar. (I would try finding some plywood to start with, or a stone finish if you wan't to get all fancy...) FOCUS were here to accessorize!

Next, every bar has bar stools. These are practically an essential to having a cool basement bar. We have everything from beer brand designs to famous sports teams. All ranging from $49.99 to around $55.00. We suggest buying four to start with.
