I would like to build a small bar for my basement this weekend. I’ve been looking for plans online, but can’t find any decent ones for free. I would consider wet bar plans but I don’t think that’s what I need. Anyone know where I can find a good set of plans?

I used this as inspiration for my kitchen breakfast bar. The glass blocks look cool and are very easy using plastic spacers and clear silicone instead of grout.
You could use the wet bar plans and just omit the wet part…as in remove all the plumbing and what not. Best thing to do… counter top = MDF board and 2″ or 3″ floor tile some adhesive, and grout. It is easy to clean…and it takes quite a beating. I have built a few like that. you could even get fancy with some Marble tiles.
Look into standard base cabinets… adds a little depth to the bar for storage. Lowes has a small dishwasher if the wet bar is an option. it is like 15 inches wide or so.
Draw on paper a plan of your own. Then price it all out. You might find that others plans are not as nice as you might have thought.
