Basement Bar Ideas

Last Updated on January 3, 2020

Who needs to go out to a bar and spend up to $15 per cocktail (plus tip) when you can relax and unwind with a drink at home for free? And, the best part? No designated driver is needed! Invite your friends over for drinks, host game night, play poker, watch a movie, or just hang out in the comfort of your very own basement. That’s right – make room for a bar in your basement. We have tons of basement bar ideas that will get you inspired to turn your basement into a functional entertaining space.

Basements make convenient spaces for building a functional bar. To begin with, hooking up plumbing or electric is a lot easier when you don’t have to run new pipes or wires up through walls. In the basement, you’re much closer to the source. Plus, many basements already have some sort of entertainment space already built in. What could be a better complement to that entertainment area than being able to belly up to the bar during a ballgame, movie, or your favorite TV show?

Basement bars come in all shapes and sizes

Build it big, build it small, build it classy, or just make it plain funky. There’s usually plenty of room in the basement to get creative. Spread out along a long wall or just tuck a bar in next to the boiler for that “industrial” feel. There are no rules and usually little existing décor to worry about matching with. There are endless basement bar ideas that will get your creative juices flowing. We feature a few here, all of which were constructed by Granite Transformations.

Granite Transformations has the stuff your dream bar is made of

Want a bar countertop that looks great, can be easily and quickly installed, and is practically indestructible? No one can accomplish this better than Granite Transformations. Go with a quartz, granite or recycled glass countertop, and make your bar really shine.
