Done by the crew that measured it
Bar & prep sinks
A small bar sink with a gooseneck or pot-filler-style faucet, and a filtered water line for coffee and ice.
Beverage & wine refrigeration
Undercounter beverage centres, wine columns and clear-ice makers, Perlick and others, sized to the cabinet run.
Glass storage & display
Stemware racks, glass-front uppers with LED, a bottle drawer and a coffee-station appliance garage.
Stone & backsplash
A stone top and a slab or tile backsplash, often the place to use a bold remnant or a dramatic tile.
Kitchen, dining or basement
Between the kitchen and dining room as a true butlers pantry, or in a finished basement as an entertaining bar.
Task & feature lighting
Puck lighting in the glass cabinets, under-cabinet task light, and a pendant or two if it seats people.
Do I need plumbing for a wet bar?
For a true wet bar, yes, a supply and drain line. A dry bar (refrigeration and storage, no sink) is simpler and fine for many spaces, especially a basement far from plumbing.
What does a wet bar cost?
A modest built-in bar with a sink, beverage fridge and stone runs $6,000–$15,000; a full butlers pantry with wine refrigeration and custom cabinetry goes well beyond that.
Butlers pantry vs walk-in pantry?
A butlers pantry is a working counter with cabinetry and often a sink, between kitchen and dining. A walk-in pantry is storage. Many kitchens want both, we plan it in closets & storage.
Can you add one to a finished basement?
Yes, a basement bar often uses a macerating pump for the sink so we do not have to break the slab.
