This project has taken so long, we started right around the start of the pandemic. We knocked down the wall and made this small area (about 8' x 8') that cuts into our unfinished utility room.
I still need to finish the flooring, and add some shelves to the back of the bar, but so far its coming along. I installed a 2 faucet beer tower that is fed from the other side of the wall.
Looks solid. I like the idea of using the 2x4s on edge for the work surface.
