where in Dallas or Ft. Worth can I find home bar furniture in a store not on line?

Q. small home bar set

A. Try Rec Warehouse. I don't know if there's any in Dallas, but I know there's 2 in Arlington and a handful in Fort Worth. They sell pool tables, spas, pools, gameroom stuff.

How can I build an in-home bar?
Q. I'm thinking about building a small bar for my living room just for when friends come over. Are there manuals for that sort of thing? Can you suggest any sites?

A. Seems obvious it won't be a WET bar, and answer number one truly has a decent suggestion. The BAR can be almost any type of furniture,,,even a converted TV/Entertainment center, antique buffet from Gramma; etc.

I'd pass on building; but that's just one wolfs opinion.

I've BUILT a few bars in my life, and they actually served no different function,,,in general,,, than a plank sitting on milk crates could,,,no offense, and no that isn't a suggestion...smiles.

It should either Blend/coordinate with what furnishings you have,,,or be a showcase piece that people might actually be attracted too, and doesn't even have to suggest in any way that it's a BAR. A Louis the 14th Desk would work,,,and maybe for multiple uses.

Certainly too there are PURCHASE options. One might be a mini thing on wheels/casters, that doesn't have to live in the Living room.

Again, my opinion. this project could be an enjoyable one just in the shopping experience. Good Will, garage sales, etc.

How expensive,on average, does it cost to build your own basic home bar?
Q. hey, moving towards a house on campus and want to build a bar at my new place. Just kinda want to know what i'm getting myself into.

A. It really depends....if you go to home depot and buy the materials you can get great materials for 400-500 dollars (small bar)or you can go cheaper. Or you can go really cheap and look over thrift stores and antique malls for an older piece of furniture and re-purpose it for $100-200 dollars. This assumes you have the tools you need to get this done. But a major factor is what you want. Somewhere to store drinks and set them on will be a lot cheaper than your very own "cheers" style bar.
