Welcome
to Home Bar Plans Online™, the original online source for bar building plans &
designs to show you how to build a bar.
A home bar will
entertain friends, create conversation, laughter, celebrations and
become the focal point in your home --- which all equals FUN! These are
just a few of the things that might come to mind when you think about
owning your own bar in your home. Imagine your room filled with friendly
conversation, music and friends enjoying themselves. Envision an
exciting game on your big-screen TV with everyone cheering and having a
great time! We have been designing bars
for clients for over ten years. Our customers vary from homeowners to
tavern owners looking to build a commercial furniture grade bar at an economical
price.
The design criteria we use for our bar designs was gathered from various
sources, including watching re-runs of the 80's television show "Cheers". We
also look at all the different brands of
Home Bars that you can buy commercially and we visit local
taverns and pubs to get a feel of what features we would like included
in our designs. We are constantly updating our
bar plans to provide our customers with the latest popular
models. We wanted our bars to resemble these professionally built models
that can cost more than $10,000! The results of our hard work and
research are bar designs that are
easy to build, can be built at a fraction of the price of professionally
built models, and look as good or better than any commercially built bar that
you would find in your local neighborhood tavern or restaurant.
Take a look at our Completed Projects Gallery,
there you will get a look at some of the bars our members have built in
their homes. You can see that are basic designs can be combined and
resized to easily accommodate any available space you have to work
with. We also have some great deals on Bar Stools and Bar Furniture. Our newest design,
the Beer Lovers Walk-Up Bar is in
design and will be available in early 2010. Take a look at a few sample pages from our actual plan
documents, you will not find higher quality detailed plans anywhere on
the internet; the best part is that we give ALL of our plans to you for
a one-time, insanely low membership payment.
All bars are easily
customizable to fit any available space you have. This is all
explained within the
members site. No need for complicated programs to resize
your bar.

Walk-Up Bar, this bar starts as a chest freezer
and
is transformed into a beautiful piece of furniture that will be the

rooms just too small for a traditional walk-behind bar.

Plans Online site.
Hot
off the presses! Home Bar Plans Online has been featured in Do!
Magazine. The name of the article is "Belly Up to
the Bar". The article talks about the lure of having a bar in
your house and the different options a homeowner has, whether to buy a
ready made bar, hire a contractor or do it yourself (with plans from
our website!).
We know that some people may not have the time or think
they have the skills
to build their own custom home bar, so we have the perfect solution
for you. We have partnered with the premier Pre-Built Home Bars site on the
internet to bring you a wide variety of Home
Bars, Tiki Bars and Bar Stools. Please feel free to browse
all of our offerings in the left navigation bar of our site.
All of our plans include detailed dimensional drawings, pictures,
a material list, cut lists and a cost estimate along with many helpful
hints and suggestions to make your job easier.
Take a look in our public Bar
Builders
Gallery to see some of the bars that our customers have built
in their homes,
along with comments that we have received about our plans. It's amazing
what our members have created! Hundreds more shots are included in the
members photo gallery inside the members site where our customers can
"show-off" their creations. This area of the members site is growing
dynamically as more bars are being completed and added to the
database. There is a small preview of the
Members
Gallery available you to see, this is just a fraction of
what is available to our members.
The best part about our designs is that they look great
and can be constructed easily by a novice do-it-yourselfer. Basic tools
required to build bars from our plans are as follows:
Circular Saw
Jig Saw (for drip tray cut-out)
Drill w/Screwdriver Bit
Hammer
Clamps
Tape Measure
Miter Box
Hand Saw
Our latest design, the Back Bar you will also need a router
to make the required dado cuts but don't worry, we have a
quick and easy tutorial if you have never done this type of joinery.
Don't make the mistake of buying a set of
bar plans that you would need a fully stocked woodworking shop or
specialty tools to
complete. Our plans are specifically designed for the novice layman.
Not much woodworking experience is needed which makes our plans that
much more attractive. Our customer's favorite feature of our designs is the Kegerator
Box
design
which allows you to supply draft beer at pennies a glass. The pictures
below show an excellent example of our keg box design incorporated into
our basic straight bar. The Keg Box is an air tight insulated box
located directly under the 3 tap tower in this example. The
cooling equipment can be taken from an old refrigerator and transplanted
under the bar, or standalone units can be purchased from various
vendors. Don't spend thousands for an
under-bar refrigeration system when you can build it yourself. Click a

The members site also includes supplier names and phone numbers for the lowest prices
available for specialty items such as Oak

for you!
