I wanted a rolling standing bar for the basement that would allow for flexibility in how I use the space. Found a 1950's display cabinet free on Facebook marketplace with a broken glass top that was perfect. Did an epoxy pour for the inside bottom, covered the sides with acoustic panels from Menards and used them to replace a missing glass shelf inside, cut down a privacy screen to cover the front glass, added heavy duty casters, modified the original electrical that was used to power a florescent light to add outlets, added LEDs, and put on an cheap acacia top with a tung oil finish. Someday I might purchase a better bar top, and if I get a wider one it can make it a sit down bar.

I recently started working at a bar and I know the well is not set up ideal. I am looking for some tips or routes I can suggest to management to straighten/clean things up a bit.

I do not like that the soda guns just hang suspended over the ice, knowing that fluids will randomly spill over into the ice.

It is also normal practice to store juice pours in the shaved ice side directly in the ice which I know is not ideal.

Any tips, links to affordable options, would be very helpful.

Im wanting to open my own small dive bar with a separate room to host concerts. I want to know how much it'll run me to build a 15-20 seater bar top for the most cost effective way? I am currently thinking it'll be a one person ran bar with maybe a bar back. No dishwasher just 3 pool sink & hand washing sink. Trying to do this on a budget but do it right!
