After an extensive search, Bar-gear.com was one of the few places I found that offered quality plans dedicated specifically to building a home bar. I am a carpenter by trade, and while I did deviate quite a bit from the plans, I found them to be an extremely helpful starting point in my own design. Having previously shopped around for finished bars, I've discovered that my bar would have cost me roughly 3 times what I've paid for the material to build it myself, with the added bonus of it being a custom fit to the space I had. The plans literally paid for themselves tens of times over. Among the things I plan to add to the bar as it appears in the photos are a solid brass footrail and a beermeister.
The one thing I did get from Rockler was the personalized torch heated stamp I put in the center of the bar rail, dedicating it to my late father in law (unfortunately I don't have a good photo of that, but I did attach a closer shot of the rail itself). I'll probably go through Rockler to get the brass foot rail too when the time comes.
