# Home Pub Ideas

Basement Conversion
-
Cover the furnace and water heater and claim your basement for a home pub. If you have an empty basement suitable for gathering, you have the perfect place to build a dedicated home pub. Decorate the walls, ceiling and floors with beer, wine and commercial liquor brand accessories. Install cabinets to store liquor, glasses, barware, ice and mixers to serve your guests. Include a high-top counter with bar stools for guests to sit and chat as they would at a pub.
Cabinet Nook
-
Use a small nook for bar space near a place to socialize. If you don't have a basement area to convert into a home pub, look for a wall nook near your kitchen, living room or dining room. In as little at five feet of space, you can install top and bottom cabinets, a small bar sink and mini-refrigerator as a drink station to serve your guests. Keep a seating arrangement close at hand to create a casual, publike atmosphere in the space available.
Portable Carts
-
Create a mobile home pub on a rolling cart. Small apartments and older homes may not have space for a dedicated room or nook to create a home pub. You can set up a clever rolling cart to push into your living room or dining area to serve drinks and refreshments. A simple two-tier cart can accommodate liquor on a tray, mixers, an ice bucket, glassware and snacks. It's the perfect solution for cramped spaces when entertaining.
Patio Spots
-
Claim patio space to create an outdoor home pub. When looking for a place to situate a home pub, don't overlook the outside of your home. A sun porch or covered patio can easily be transformed into an place to congregate and share drinks and small talk. Outfit the area with a high-top table or two and plenty of chairs, a drink and barware station, and a television for watching your favorite sporting event. Your guests will never want to leave.
