My Basement Irish Pub. Basement Bar. Man Cave. Build Your Own Home Bar 

Makes this ole Irishman squeak out a tear or two. Home and hearth. Beautiful stuff.

You are a genius. The whole thing looks like an actual pub. I'm building a new home and I'm incorporating a home "speakeasy" is a hidden room on the main floor. I'm going for a 1920s theme, and without the internet i'd be lost on this project. Again great work!

The best man cave ever!!!!! Cheers to ya mate!!!!

Holy crap. Thats amazing!!! If I had that in my basement I wouldnt leave it. Actually thinking of doing a bar in my basement thats how I stumbled across this. I own 1 but even when I have a drink there Im still at work! It would be nice to have one I can relax in!!

Thanks for the video. Modelled my own pub room after watching this.

wow.... this is amazing. the best diy project i've seen so far. i especially love how you handled the entrance and attention to detail

As A man staright from Ireland you've made me home sick looking at this wee place. I'm about to build my own bar and you've given me some great Ideas. Slainte Mo Chara.

You have done a magnificent job on your Pub.. Fantastic craftsmanship and the design couldn't be any better for the space you have.. I've seen lots of guys try to build a bar into their home space and it just somehow falls short, the design has to be perfect and can't cut corners.. Your ceiling color, flooring, wall color and art are perfect. I've added on a 500sq ft. room to handle my antique bar and I love having it at home. Congratulations on the job... Pete

Fenomenalne! Piwo wypite w tym barze musi być pyszne.

Thank you to everyone for all the excellent comments and encouragement, it was a labor of love, sweat, and tears. My family and I moved from here a year ago. It was not easy letting go but knew we were moving on to bigger and better things, especially for my kids. My new basement is double the size of this one and I will be starting the construction very soon. I haven’t decided the theme yet but have a few to choose from so stay tuned for more videos

amazing, awesome....this is incredible...respect. It must take a lot of time and effort. I´m doing something like this and i am at half of work. It was hard to get here but still got a lot to do. You gave me some ideas. Again, great job!

I am impressed. Go Birds!

Outstanding job!!!

thinking of building one on the front of my blacksmith/knifeshop then I look on here and find this WOW!!!

You sir, are a legend

Very authentic. Nice!

Awesome. Great Job.

I was about to criticize some parts of the bar, then i remembered it was in his basement. Legendary

Very good job , it s beautifull

How could 6 people not like this video? Boggles the mind!

Wow, I gotta say... that is sick! I was just checking out bar basement videos and seeing that you’re an eagles fan made it that much better!

I'd never leave the house mate thanks for sharing!

FANTASTIC!!

oh my.....its...its...beautiful

Wicked Awesome!!!!

Omg this is amazing! Man u r an artist! I am about to buy my first home and I am going to try for this.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. The staging is fantastic. One more thing....can I be your mate? Failte for posting.

Tom Servo and Crow as permanent patrons!!??!?! That's awesome - great work!

Who are the two fucks that were like "I could do better" and downvoted you? This is amazing!

Hey it looks like we are somewhat close to each other. I am a Flyers season tix holder and I am 100% Irish. I so want to do this with my basement. This is awesome dude!!!!!

I hope you stock some Jameson in there? Awsome man cave man. Mucho jealous, lol.

Thanks, good luck

thank you

Bravo!!!!

So roughly 250ft2 of ceiling plus electrical wires and ductwork took about 5 hours. Make sure you cover everything you dont want paint on. The particles go everywhere. The sprayer works so much better because it covers spots the brush wont get to, like 1/4 spaces between the floor boards above.

thanks alot

Thanks Pete, thats a great comment. Good luck to you, Cheers

Absolutely incredible! What are the dimensions of the room? How long did this take you to finish?

I would have died and gone to Heaven. Man you made me so thirsty for a pint of Guinness ... and some fish and chips :P

What color green is on the walls? It's really nice - also, can you tell me the size of the room where the bar is?

hi testfoecho congratulationds on your bar mate ... looks amazing. i'm in the process of converting my garage into a Music rehearsal room/ bar ..i'd like to ask you the dimentions of your floor area in your bar area only as i am impressed with your conversion so much and would like to do something like yours. my area i have to work with is length 8 metres x width 5 metres

Can we get an updated 2023 video of the pub?

any idea what color stain you used for the wood?

@jkbnoble Thank you. The room is not that big only about 18 wide by about 28 long not including the laundry room. The bar, back bar, bathroom, laundry room were already finished as i completed them a few years ago. So pretty much about 7 1/2 months to complete.

Cheers

@bobwoodkat No a small single in the suburbs. The whole basement from concrete to concrete is about 35 long by 18 wide. Thanks

Sorry so late with this. I started to paint the ceiling and almost shot myself because it took too long to do one joist. My joists are old so it's not the usual, smoother 2x you get from home depot. it's rough sawn. So I went to home depot and bought a wagner sprayer for about 35 bucks. The best money for the job I ever spent.

@jag10 Thanks. I'm a jerk of all trades master of absolutely nothing. All the stain on the walls and trim is minwax polyshades bombay mahogany gloss, about 2-3 coats to get it dark then 2 coats of minwax helmsman spar urethane satin. As far as the "entrance" window and "outside" trim before you get "into the pub" is just a stealth black paint.

@ChrisRockSteady Thank you. Not loaded in the least bit, alot of wood I recycled from other projects. Gotta have the floggins in there

Are you a RUSH fan, just wondering by your screen name? In any case, can you please tell me what the wood was that you used on the floor and walls? Many thanks.

@wushumon88 Thanks for that awesome reaction

This is the coolest cosiest looking bar I've ever seen...& I see "The Irish Brigade" are on the wall of fame there too ;) Where is this?? Any chance of a gig??! :D

COuld you let me know where you got that side table with the divider? I am using you and Joe as an inspiration from my own room and would really like to add something similar to that side table

thats fuckin amazing,

@TheFedupcitizen Thanks alot

unbelievable, you did it all yourself?

@streetcopper Thank you very much. Sure, why not

Do you have any updated videos of this?

Beautiful Pub!!! Looks like you are a Philly guy. Thumbs up!! What size is your basement? Is that a Philly Row home?

@TheAirplanepilot Thanks, sorry, I'm near Philly

Im not trying to be nosy, but how much did this cost you...total? I am about to start my basement bar, and this is fantastic, im just not sure if its in the budget. Thanks!

Thanks, It's hard to keep those 2 bastards from wrecking the place

Looks amazing, do you mind if I asked how much it all cost?

fender jazz bass and a gretchsy

Slainte, heres a pint to you as we speak

@anniemoores thanks, at least you can charge for drinks, i'll be arrested :)

Very nice. Try.etsy/shop/BenchmarkSignsGifts for a custom bar sign. they made mine and its super nice. cheers

@jkbnoble let me figure it out and I'll send you a message

Take me drunk I am home. Too much Guinness. No chance for drunk driving here.
