does anyone know how to build a home bar? not a wet bar with a sink or anything, an L shaped bar. we just bought a house and the basement is already finished, i want to put in a bar with a back portion with a mirror and lighted shelves. i don't want a link for plans, can someone give me the steps in building one? 8 ft length front 4ft L, with a height of about 4 ft, we have a good amount of space so with dimensions we are flexible. is it a hard job?

I know you dont want a link, but you have got to check out this guys bar/basement! I used it to build mine which was a glass block bar. He gives pretty good instructions on building a glass block bar. http://www.jimrutherford.com/
Your question is pretty broad not knowing what type you want to build; wood, glass block, tile, etc. The first thing you want to determine is the height--bars are slightly higher than countertops. I built mine to exact specifications of 2 stock cabinets plus an undercounter fridge from Home Depot. So figure out how many cabinets (if any) underneath you want, plus a fridge and that is your length. You could also wing it and build as you go if you are just going to put shelves underneath. Mine is a glassblock bar with lights behind it and a granite top. I built it myself for around $1400--1000 was the granite top, only 400 to build the glass block.
It isnt a hard job at all, but I would go with stock cabinets underneath, definitely a cleaner more bar look than shelves with a curtain draped over it. And the cabinets give you the dimensions of your bar making it easy. I built a dry bar with no sink to but wish I would have added a sink so you may want to rethink that. I make a lot of drinks but then there is no place to clean or even rinse the drink mixers, glasses, measuring spoons, etc. I would put in a sink if you can..
The lighted shelves are cool--I did that. Used rope lighting and stock glass shelves from Home Depot. Best of luck my friend!

This will be determined by how much space your bar accessories take up behind the bar. Consider coolers, shelves and glass hangers, sink, ice dispenser, liquor cabinet, refrigerator. Decide if you are going to have open access on either end of the bar. If you have the open access end by the doorway, It should work out fine, but f I were you I would find out the dimensions of your accessories before you build the bar.
