Here's a picture of the bar I built this summer to put in our living room. It's not quite done yet, but it's close. We have a dual tap tower so we can have 2 beers on tap if needed. There's a fridge under the bar that can hold a quarter keg or 2 of the 1/6th micro brew kegs. I think I have under $200 invested in the bar itself, and another $375 into the fridge and beer equipment. Cheers! http://cjcfo.fbody.com/members/jeffhansbury@comcast.net/pacecar/Bar.jpg

Jeff, looks good so far, Where is the 42in plasma TV going? I hope that's not the TV you plan on using for the room. graemlins/clonk.gif ;) ...Mike

No, that's my old tv from college back in the early 80's. I don't know why we still have it sitting around. Actually, there's an Eagles neon light hanging up on the wall behind the bar. I'm a Giants fan, but my brother is an Eagles fan so I bought him the light for Christmas. He's on his way to the game right now. He got season tickets to the new stadium this year.
looks yummy! I'm considering a kegerator for home use. We (I work for a brewery) started flash pasteurizing the draft a few months ago so it will last much longer than non-pasteurized. That, plus pushing it with co2 is making this into an idea that I can't get out of my head.
Cheers! Nice to see I'm not alone in my thinking.
of course I have to add this:

Hey Al, How did you get started in the beer brewing industry? Sounds interesting, and fun. I have been using a Mr. Beer kit for a few years, and am pretty pleased with the results. I'm just curious.. (Sorry to get off subject here a little, Jeff.) graemlins/beers.gif ...Mike

Al, my intention was to do the kegerator thing, but the more I thought about it, I decided that our living room needed a bar. I think more people are having bars put in their homes for entertaining or personal reasons. I know 5 other people that have bars in their homes. 3 of them bought the house with the bar in it. My brother has brewed his own beer and most of it came out pretty good.
