The holidays are over, and it's cold outside. It must be time for a party or to have friends over just to watch the game or hang out. Food, friends, and your favorite beverage... who could ask for more?
The gathering spot in the kitchen is generally around the stove, and the gathering spot in the game room is definitely around the bar. Following are three very different bar examples that could create a gathering spot in your home. This handsome free-standing bar is natural finished maple with a gold stone top and brass foot rails. Pull up a comfortable barstool, and a spot will be created that will be hard for your friends to resist.
If your taste is more whimsical than classic, this English phone booth bar may be more to your liking.
It has an antique red painted finish with glass panels, and is truly reminiscent of the once ubiquitous phone booths found in England. This English sight might even find you craving a pint of ale or stout. Of course, this bar takes up less space than the free-standing bar shown above and is certainly unique.
A truly one-of-a-kind bar for the home is this black lacquer finished piano. With its black and white stone keys, at first glance it appears to be a grand piano. It doesn't matter if you can't play a note. The important thing is that your ice, beverages, glasses and blender are at your fingertips. One section of the stone top opens up for wine storage and another reveals the ice bucket. A power supply including MP3 socket is on the side. If you have space to fill, perhaps on a landing or loft, this bar is beautiful as well as functional.
Cheers to you! Enjoy the time you spend gathered with your friends on these cold winter nights, and hope your team wins the Super Bowl.
