5 Must Haves
When setting up a basement bar there are some
must have items you must have around or your
basement bar won’t really be a bar but just a
basement pretending to be. Of course, there are
some extras like a jukebox and pool table that will
really set the bar off. However, consider the
following 5 must haves in order to set up your very
own basement bar to enjoy a night with your friends,
parties, game days and then add the extras when
you can afford to.

Must Have #1 A Basement

This might seem obvious, but to have the best
basement bar ever you really need a traditional
basement. There are many benefits to this that
include being on a completely different level than the
rest of the house so noise won’t be transmitted and
bother those above you. Of course, you can make a
basement bar in whatever space you call the
basement, but a true basement bar needs a
basement.

Must Have #2 A Bar

Ok, obvious requirement number two is a bar. A
basement bar needs a bar that is set up to serve
beer and give the appearance that your basement
bar is really authentic. You can buy a ready made
bar, hire a carpenter to build you one, or give it a go
yourself by buying the lumber and downloading step
by step instructions from the Internet. As long as you
have a basement and a bar your basement bar just
needs some accessories.

Must Have #3 A Kegerator

A kegeraotr is a refrigerated keg that will keep your
beer cold at all times and be ready to serve anytime
the basement bar is open. You don’t want to have to
buy six packs and litter your bar with bottled beer
when you can serve beer straight from the keg. Keg
beer is special and will make your basement bar
even more so.

Must Have #4 A Big TV

No, you don’t have to have the biggest screen
television on the market, but it will help. Buy the
largest screen television you can afford for your
basement bar, or one that fits the space well if your
basement is really small. This will allow for great
game watching like the Superbowl, Basketball
National Championship, and other great games.

Must Have #5 Seating

This might seem generic, but it really is a must have
for your basement bar. If your friends are joining you
for a night of poker or Monday night Football they
need a place to sit back and relax while drinking
some of your keg beer. So, be sure to have some
bar stools around the bar as well as comfy couches
and chairs surrounding the TV, with your poker table
nearby so there is plenty of seating wherever the
action is taking place.
