The Home Bar – what bar equipment do I need?

Having a bar in your home is a fantastic way of entertaining your friends and is becoming an increasingly common feature in many homes and houses.

Home bars come in all shapes and sizes but you really don't need a lot of room to have a nice bar at the back of your living room and setting up a home bar is quite simple to do. All you need to work out is:

• Where you want the bar
• What drinks you will need
• What bar equipment you will require

The location of your home bar is really up to you. Nearly every room can have a bar but you want somewhere where you can socialise. As for the type of drinks it really depends on what you and your friend's prefer as a tipple. Draught beers are expensive to plumb in but a good selection of spirits and mixers will take care of most people's tastes.

When it comes to bar equipment and bar accessories then a lot will depend on what you are going to serve. If you are into cocktails then you will need the cocktail accessories such as sticks, umbrellas and shakers.

For spirits it's best to get measures (it's far too easy to be over generous) The best type of bar equipment to get is often stainless steel as it is easy to clean but don't forget as these things are going in your home you might want some better designs than the standard sorts you get in pubs.

And of course, no home bar would be a complete without a good selection of glasses. Choose a wide variety of shot glasses, tall glasses, wine glasses and cocktail glasses and you should have something for every eventuality.

It's also important to remember plates for snacks, ashtrays, and other small catering accessories, not too to mention the mixers as it is all to easy to get carried away buying the booze and forget the soft drinks.

Now add a couple of bar stools, some coasters or drink mats and there you will have the perfect place to make you the envy of all your friends and as drinking at home is cheaper than going out – it will probably pay for itself too.

The Coasters $84.44 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Coasters are an American Rhythm and Blues/rock and roll vocal group that had a string of hits in the late 1950s. Beginning with Searchin and Young Blood, their most memorable songs were written by the songwriting and producing team of Leiber and Stoller. Although the Coasters originated outside of mainstream doo wop, their records were so frequently imitated that they became an important part of the doo wop legacy through the 1960s. The Coasters forerunners were The Robins, a Los Angeles based rhythm and blues group, which included Carl Gardner and Bobby Nunn. The original members of the Coasters, who formed in October 1955, were AfricanAmericans Carl Gardner, Billy Guy, Bobby Nunn, Leon Hughes (who was substituted with Young Jessie on a couple of their early Los Angeles recordings), and guitarist Adolph Jacobs. Jacobs left the group in 1959.

Stargate Coasters $29.99 Deep in the desert wastes of Egypt, a great superconducting ring sat untouched for thousands of years. Finally unearthed, this great Stargate was eventually harnessed and brought back to Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station in Colorado to be studied. What isn't well known, however, was many hundreds of smaller rings, each no bigger than a hands-breadth, were also unearthed. The large Stargates took our scientists nigh on 60 years to understand. The little ones, however, have yet to be figured out. Were they visualizing models for the real thing? Could they have been keepsakes or mementos for the Ancient builders? Or possibly tiny gateways for mice-shaped hyperintelligent pan-dimensional beings? We may never know. The SG-1 program, however, ran out of money in season 10 - er, I mean - 2007, and Cheyenne Mountain had to liquidate its assets. Therefore, we took these miniscule Stargates, placed rippled surfaces inside the rings and called them coasters. Put your drinks on 'em so your desk doesn't get rings. How the mighty have fallen, eh? Sad. Still, you get to benefit! So, cool!
