The Bar Towel

Hello All:


Mostly been lurking, but wanted to pass along really great news.

After over 6 months of work in our new house,
and finally saving enough money to finish it,
our basement bar " the severed arms" is finally finished


Here are some pics :


Picture of original basement taken before we bought the house,
taken during our first look with the realtor.
I'm glad I took it, because it's the only picture I have
of the "before" look





Work begins





The Bar completed


I've been collecting glasses from around the world for 5+ years now,
and friends brought me back some during their trips to
Belgium and Amsterdam...
I picked all the Unibroue's up during a trip to Montreal...

I've also been collecting coasters for about 10 years now and have amassed over 1000

thanks

i wish...we could only afford a "dry" bar,
but nothing the beer fridge can't handle

Nice work Dave. But that bar needs some Bar Towel coasters!

nice work guinness guy

By the way, equiping the bar with tap handles do not require a wet bar. You only need a regrigerator big enough to fit a keg and fit under the bar. A good healthy homebrewing hobby would go a long way to ensuring the final touches of putting in a kegging system.

Enjoy the new digs.

Nice Job! Looks very cozy.

P.S. Is that a Schneider Weisse glass on the top shelf? If so, can I inquire as to where you got it?

good eyes

friends of mine picked it up in germany a few years back

i'm always amazed that they make it back in the luggage intact !

Andicus,

You can get Schneider Weisse glasses at almost any German restaurant - just agree that you'll pay after "breaking" one... at least, the Kingston "Amadeus Cafe" will do this.

guinness guy, you have good friends!

DukeOfYork, thanks for the tip! Now I just have to find a German restaurant. Maybe not an easy task in St. Catharines.

What??? I thought there were German restaurants all over Waterloo! Didn't the place used to be called "New Berlin"?

Perphaps, but St. Kitts is not really near Waterloo

Very nice establishment. One day, I've promised myself the same.
